Extraction

EXTRACTION

WHAT IS A TOOTH EXTRACTION?

If teeth are beyond repair, with severe dental decay, severe gum disease, or have sustained a traumatic injury rendering it, the tooth may have to be extracted. Bear in mind nothing can replace your natural teeth. That is why we will always strive to maintain and save teeth if possible and their removal will only ever be on the basis of the tooth being unsavable.

We will always discuss the options to replace missing teeth before the teeth are removed so that you are fully informed about your available options. This includes the following:

 

In some cases, we are also able to pre-fabricate a temporary denture or bridge before the extraction to place straight away after the extraction so that you will not have a gap present at all.

Dental extractions need not be painful once the local anesthetic has been administered. We will not proceed if you are in pain and will always provide you with enough anesthetic to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Once the tooth is removed, all of the post-operative instructions and advice will be provided so that you are able to look after the area accordingly.

We will contact you sathe me day or day after to find out if you are comfortable after the extraction.
