An extraction will help to remove the source of pain and protect your remaining teeth. It could also be required before further restorative treatment such as orthodontics or dental implants. Tooth extraction doesn't have to be daunting, and we will do everything we can to put you at ease.
The extraction procedure
Extraction procedures are very common. It is typically performed on teeth that are severely damaged or decayed and can’t be saved with other treatments. Extractions are usually done under local anaesthesia, meaning that the dentist numbs the area around the tooth where they are working so you don’t feel any pain during the treatment.
The treatment is very quick, and if you are in pain, you should find immediate relief from your pain once the infected tooth is removed. We will provide extensive aftercare support to help you care for your gum as it heals. We can also offer advice on restorative options to replace a missing tooth. Restoration options include:
- Dental implants
- Bridges
- Partial dentures

Frequently asked questions
You may choose to have a dental bridge after a tooth extraction to replace the missing tooth. You could also choose a partial denture for multiple missing teeth.
Most patients find that the pain associated with tooth extraction is minimal. You will be numbed throughout the procedure, so you might feel pressure but no pain. We will provide you with instructions on how to manage any discomfort and may also prescribe pain medication to help alleviate any post-extraction pain or swelling.
The recovery process from a tooth extraction will vary depending on the type of extraction performed and your individual healing process. In general, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the site of the extraction to heal completely.
There is no set number of teeth that can be extracted at one time. However, your dentist will take into consideration the type of extraction being performed, as well as your overall health and healing process, when determining how many teeth can be extracted during a single procedure.
You may need to have one or more teeth extracted before getting braces. This is usually performed by an oral surgeon and will depend on the severity of your condition and the number of teeth that need to be removed. Your dentist or orthodontist will help you determine if extraction is required and can provide you with additional information about this procedure.
There are a number of potential side effects that may occur following tooth extraction, including pain and swelling. You may also experience numbness in the affected area or bleeding. Your dentist will provide you with instructions on how to manage these side effects and may prescribe medication to help mitigate any discomfort or inflammation.
