The decision is made after examination and any necessary assessments. Contact our clinic about the service and the approach suitable for you.
When is tooth extraction considered?
Extraction may be considered when saving a tooth is not possible or appropriate. The examination discusses the tooth’s condition, surrounding tissues and any alternatives for preserving it.
Assessment before the procedure
Tell your clinician about your medications, allergies and general health. Imaging may be taken if needed, and the extraction method and anaesthesia will be explained.
Procedure and healing
The appropriate method is chosen according to the tooth’s position and condition. Healing after the procedure varies; follow your clinician’s oral care and dietary advice.
Options for the missing tooth
After extraction, options such as monitoring, a denture, bridge or implant may be considered for the gap. Timing and need are determined after examination.
Frequently asked questions
What should I tell the clinician before extraction?
