At Greenvale Dental Group, we understand tooth extraction anxiety. Our dentists combine precision techniques with comprehensive comfort management, ensuring a stress-free experience through advanced protocols and patient-centred communication.
Tooth extraction is the complete removal of a tooth from its socket. This precision procedure requires careful management of surrounding tissues for optimal healing. Whether you need a simple procedure or complex back tooth extraction, we use specialised techniques for each tooth’s shape and condition. Our expertise includes infected tooth removal with safeguards against bacterial spread.
Several situations necessitate tooth removal: advanced decay, deep cracks, persistent infections resistant to root canal therapy, impacted wisdom teeth, and extractions before braces. Molar tooth extraction becomes necessary when damage extends below the gumline or fractures prevent restoration. Strategic removal prevents complications and creates pathways for definitive solutions.
We begin with comprehensive imaging to visualise the root structure. After administering precise anaesthesia, your dentist uses controlled techniques to carefully remove the affected tooth, using specialised instruments. Most procedures take 20-30 minutes.
Beyond pain relief, tooth removal eliminates infection sources, prevents spread to adjacent teeth, and creates space for prosthetics. For compromised teeth, extraction resolves discomfort while facilitating transition to implants or bridges that restore function and aesthetics.
The tooth extraction healing process follows a predictable timeline. Patients typically experience 2-3 days of manageable discomfort during recovery. Complete soft tissue healing occurs within 7-10 days. Our detailed aftercare protocol ensures optimal healing and minimises complications.
As a QIP-accredited practice, Greenvale Dental Group maintains rigorous clinical standards. Our in-house surgical expertise means you receive specialist-level care without specialist fees, all within a supportive environment.
