Extractions

In cases of advanced gum disease and tooth decay, teeth may need to be extracted. Some patients may also develop impacted wisdom teeth,

which can cause intense pain. This is alleviated by having them removed surgically.

Tooth extractions typically involve the following:

1. Before the procedure you may require an x-ray or CT scan of your teeth.
2. Depending on your particular case and the severity of your problem, you will be given a local anaesthetic and offered sedation if you are anxious.
3. We have the right equipment and sterile environment to extract teeth with the utmost care and your recovery can be surprisingly quick.
4. In the case of wisdom tooth extractions, you may have some swelling after the procedure and discomfort that can be eased with over-the-counter painkillers.
