A Tooth Extraction is the removal of the tooth. A tooth may need to be removed for different reasons:

• Broken tooth which cannot be repaired
• Severely damaged tooth due to decay/rot or trauma
• Severely infected tooth where the nerve inside the tooth and tissues outside are damaged
• Severe gum disease that has made the tooth very loose
• To create more room in the mouth for straightening other teeth (orthodontic extractions)

“Removal of a tooth can be uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be painful.”

The steps involved in the process of Tooth Removal are

• Consultation & Consent
• Local Anaesthetic Numbing
• Removal of the tooth
• Post Care Instructions
• Review

At Tooth Smart Dental Cannon Hill, we discuss the procedure of tooth extraction with you at the consultation appointment so that you are aware of what to expect in terms of

• Length of the appointment
• Cost of the procedure
• Expected outcomes
• Risks and complications involved
• If any antibiotics are required
• Pain management at home
• If or when a referral will be required

Our caring dentists make sure that the tooth and the tissues around the tooth are completely numb (anaesthetized) so that the entire procedure is pain-free. We provide thorough verbal and written aftercare instructions so that you can manage any post operative discomfort easily at home. We extend our care by following up with a phone call next day to ensure that you are not experiencing any post operative complications. This is followed by a complimentary review one week later where the dentist will check the site from where the tooth was removed to ensure that wound is healing infection free.

An estimate of cost associated with tooth removal will be provided to you at the time of consultation. Please note that this is an estimate only and can change depending on the difficulty of the procedure, technique requirements, extent of the treatment. You may have other relevant costs following your extraction procedure such as a referral to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (at additional expense to you) in case of any complications.
