When Is Extraction Necessary?
We always aim to save your natural teeth. But extraction may be the best option when a tooth is severely infected, broken beyond repair, causing overcrowding, or when wisdom teeth are causing pain or damage.
Types of Extractions
Simple Extraction
For visible teeth. Performed under local anaesthetic with minimal discomfort. Recovery: around two weeks.
Surgical Extraction
For teeth that are broken below the gum line or impacted. May involve a small incision. Sedation available. Recovery: one to three weeks.
Aftercare
Eat soft foods for the first few days. Take pain relief as needed. Avoid smoking, vigorous rinsing and using straws.
