When extraction may be recommended
Extraction is considered when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, loose or creating a significant orthodontic or wisdom-tooth concern. The priority is always to assess whether the tooth can be safely restored.
Before and after care
- Examination and imaging to plan the procedure.
- Clear explanation of anaesthesia and aftercare.
- Gentle removal with attention to comfort.
- Discussion of replacement options where appropriate.
Will I feel pain during extraction?
Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area. You may feel pressure, but the procedure should not cause sharp pain.
What should I do after an extraction?
Follow the written instructions, protect the blood clot and contact the clinic if you have unusual bleeding, swelling or pain.
