General Dentistry
Sometimes removing a tooth is the right option for your oral health. If an extraction is recommended, we’ll take the time to explain why, talk you through what to expect and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin.
We’ll always assess the tooth carefully first and discuss any other suitable treatment options with you.
If you’re experiencing pain, swelling or have been told a tooth may need to be removed, book an appointment with one of our dentists for an assessment.
We’ll examine the tooth, explain your options clearly and help you understand the next steps.
We accept all health funds.
The basics
Sometimes a tooth may be too damaged, infected or broken down to be predictably restored. When that happens, removing the tooth may be the most appropriate option for your oral health.
We’ll assess the tooth carefully, explain why an extraction may be recommended and talk you through any suitable alternatives before you decide how you’d like to proceed.
We’ll also explain what to expect during the appointment, how to look after the area afterwards and where appropriate discuss options for replacing the missing tooth.
Why patients choose us for extractions
We’ll make sure the area is well numbed before treatment begins and check in with you throughout the appointment.
When a tooth is badly damaged or infected, removing it can help address the source of the problem and support healing.
If the tooth needs to be replaced, we’ll talk you through suitable options such as an implant, bridge or denture when the time is right.
We’ll explain the expected treatment and provide a clear estimate before you decide how you’d like to proceed.
