Extractions

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. This can be done either under local anaesthetic in the chair or whilst under a general anaesthetic in the hospital.

When are extractions needed?

Commonly teeth are extracted due to several reasons including but not limited to:

Dental decay
Dental infection
The tooth is so broken down there is not enough left to fix
Severe gum disease that cause the teeth to be too loose to eat
Fractured teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth
For Orthodontic work

What does the procedure involve?

Simple extraction: This is usually performed under local anaesthetic. This simply involves wiggling the tooth loose with our specialised instruments.

Surgical Extractions: This is a more invasive procedure for teeth that cannot be easily accessed, for example, if the tooth is broken under the gum line. If a surgical extraction is required, your dentist will talk you through the procedure and recovery time.
