Teeth Extractions

Tooth extraction is a quick outpatient procedure performed by a dentist or oral surgeon using local, general, or intravenous anaesthesia. Simple extractions are suitable for visible teeth, while broken or impacted teeth may require more complex procedures, such as wisdom teeth removal or surgical extractions. Apart from wisdom teeth, extractions might be necessary due to severely damaged teeth, extensive decay, infection, or crowding. In some orthodontic treatments, teeth may need to be removed to create space for proper realignment.

In a simple extraction, the dentist first numbs the area, then uses an elevator to loosen the tooth before removing it with forceps. Gauze is placed to control bleeding. Your full dental consultation will review your medical and dental history to ensure a safe and comfortable procedure. For patients experiencing anxiety, our pain-free or gentle treatment approach ensures a calm and reassuring experience.
