Comfort-Focused Treatment
Careful planning before and after removal.
Whenever possible, preserving a natural tooth is considered first. Extraction may be recommended when damage, infection, crowding, or wisdom tooth problems make removal the more predictable option.
Reasons an extraction may be discussed
- Severe decay or a tooth that cannot be restored.
- Advanced infection or gum-related loss of support.
- Impacted or troublesome wisdom teeth.
- Orthodontic or restorative treatment planning.
What to expect
- Clinical examination and imaging when needed.
- Discussion of alternatives, anaesthesia, and aftercare.
- Careful removal using the approach suited to the tooth.
- Healing review and replacement planning where appropriate.
Seek prompt dental care for facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding. Your dentist will advise the appropriate next step.
