Extractions

Gentle Tooth Extractions for a Healthier Smile

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, extraction may be necessary due to severe decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or to make space for orthodontic treatment.

Benefits of Tooth Extraction:

  • tick Relieves pain and prevents spread of infection
  • tick Creates space for orthodontic alignment

  • tick Prevents damage to adjacent teeth and gums

Signs It’s Time to Consider a Tooth Extraction

Extraction is advised if you have severe pain, deep decay, or overcrowded teeth before braces. It’s also common for impacted wisdom teeth or repeated gum infections. Early removal can prevent further discomfort and protect your overall dental health.

A Comfortable Step-by-Step Extraction Process

Our dental extraction service covers everything from assessment and x-rays to simple or surgical tooth removal. We ensure a pain-free process with local anaesthetic, manage bleeding with gauze, and provide clear aftercare instructions. If needed, we’ll guide you on replacement options like bridges or implants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extraction

Is tooth extraction painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout. Mild soreness after is manageable with medication.

How long does it take to heal after an extraction?

Initial healing takes 1–2 weeks. Complete bone healing can take a few months, depending on the complexity.

Can I replace a tooth after extraction?

Yes. We offer bridges, dentures, or implants based on your individual case and preferences.

Will I need time off work?

Most patients return to normal activities the next day, though rest is advised for 24 hours.

Can I eat after the extraction?

Yes, but stick to soft foods and avoid the extraction site for the first few days.

What should I avoid after a tooth extraction?

Avoid smoking, drinking through straws, vigorous rinsing, and touching the extraction site — these can delay healing or cause dry socket.
