When extraction becomes necessary

We always try to save a natural tooth first — through fillings, root canal or gum treatment. But when a tooth is too badly damaged, infected, impacted, or crowding the jaw, careful extraction is the safest path forward for your overall oral health.

Our dentists use modern techniques and adequate anesthesia to keep the procedure as comfortable and quick as possible, whether it's a simple extraction or a more involved wisdom tooth removal.

Common reasons for extraction

  • Severe decay that has destroyed too much tooth structure
  • Advanced gum disease causing tooth looseness
  • Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
  • Severe crowding requiring space before braces
  • A tooth fractured beyond repair

Aftercare Guidance

Gauze, instructions and follow-up plan sent home with you.

Aftercare tips

  • Bite firmly on gauze for 30–45 minutes to control bleeding
  • Avoid rinsing, spitting hard, or using a straw for 24 hours
  • Stick to soft, cool foods for the first day
  • Do not smoke — it significantly raises the risk of dry socket
  • Take prescribed medication exactly as directed

Frequently asked questions

Will the extraction hurt?

No — local anesthesia fully numbs the area beforehand. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but not sharp pain.

How long does healing take?

Initial healing takes about a week, though the socket continues to fill in and heal fully over the following months.

Do I need to replace the extracted tooth?

For most back teeth, we recommend an implant or bridge afterward to prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting — we'll discuss options for your case.
