FAQs
A tooth may need to be removed when it is too damaged to repair, when deep infection cannot be resolved with other treatments, or when crowding affects your bite or orthodontic needs. Extractions may also be recommended before certain medical or dental procedures. The dentist will review all alternatives before suggesting removal.
The area around the tooth is numbed to keep you comfortable. The tooth is gently loosened and removed, and the socket is cleaned to support proper healing. If the tooth is impacted—such as a wisdom tooth—additional steps like creating a small opening in the gum or sectioning the tooth may be required.
Most patients feel pressure but not pain during the procedure because the area is numbed with local anaesthesia. Some tenderness afterwards is normal. You’ll receive personalised instructions on managing discomfort at home, including recommended medications and ways to reduce swelling.
After the procedure, you’ll be advised to rest, avoid smoking, avoid drinking through a straw, and avoid vigorous spitting or washing for the first 24 hours. Eating soft foods, keeping the area clean, and following any prescribed or over-the-counter pain recommendations help promote smooth healing. Contact the clinic if you experience unusual swelling, bleeding, or discomfort.
For a simple extraction, most soreness improves within a few days. Surgical or impacted extractions may require a longer recovery, often a week or more. Your dentist will offer guidance based on your treatment and medical history so you know when it is safe to resume regular eating, activity, or exercise.
Once healing is complete, options may include a dental implant, a bridge, or may be a partial denture. The choice depends on where the tooth was removed, your oral health, bone levels, and budget. Your dentist will review each option and help you decide what best supports your long-term oral health and appearance.
