We always explore every alternative first — extraction is only recommended when it is the safest and most effective option for your long-term wellbeing.
A tooth may need to be removed if you have:
Simple Extractions
For teeth that are visible and can be gently loosened and removed without surgical steps.
Surgical Extractions
For teeth that are broken, partially erupted, or require a small surgical procedure for safe removal.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
To remove wisdom teeth that are impacted, painful, or affecting the alignment of surrounding teeth.
No — the area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic. You may feel gentle pressure, but not pain.
Most patients feel comfortable again within a few days. Surgical and wisdom tooth extractions may take slightly longer to fully heal.
Some surgical extractions require dissolvable stitches. Your dentist will advise you during your appointment.
Soft foods are recommended for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid hot, crunchy, or chewy foods until healing progresses.
Pain, infection, swelling, and damage to surrounding teeth can worsen over time. Early extraction helps prevent complications and protects your oral health.
