At Glenfield Family Dental, our primary goal is to help you maintain your natural teeth for as long as possible. However, in some cases, removing a tooth is the safest and most effective solution to protect your overall oral health.
A tooth may need to be extracted if:
It is too damaged to be repaired due to extensive decay, a fractured root, or severe trauma.
Wisdom teeth are impacted or causing alignment issues.
An infection cannot be treated effectively with other methods.
Thorough Examination: Our dentist will carefully assess your tooth and surrounding gums. Digital X-rays or panoramic imaging may be used for a detailed view.
Local Anaesthesia: To ensure your comfort, the area around the tooth will be numbed.
Safe Extraction: For most cases, we perform non-surgical extractions with minimal discomfort. If the tooth is impacted or severely damaged, a surgical extraction may be necessary.
Post-Procedure Care: We provide clear aftercare instructions and pain relief if needed. Our team will check in with you the next day to ensure a smooth recovery.
If your wisdom teeth require removal due to crowding, pain, or alignment issues, we will carefully evaluate the situation. For complex cases, we may refer you to a trusted specialist for surgical extraction.
We prioritise your comfort and well-being. Our team will follow up with you to monitor your healing, and we can arrange medical certificates for missed work if necessary.
If you are experiencing tooth pain or believe you may need an extraction, contact Glenfield Family Dental today to schedule an appointment.
