Tooth extractions in Kew

We understand that tooth extraction can be unnerving, but rest assured, our experienced team is here to help you through the process with care and expertise.

What is a Tooth Extraction?

An extraction is a dental procedure that removes a tooth from its socket. While our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth, removing a tooth is sometimes necessary to maintain optimal dental health.

Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?

  1. Severe Tooth Decay or Damage: When a tooth is damaged beyond repair from decay or trauma, removing it may be the best option to prevent infection from spreading.
  2. Infection: If dental infection reaches the pulp of your tooth, causing significant pain or abscess, extraction may be necessary to preserve the health of surrounding teeth and tissue.
  3. Crowded Mouth: Sometimes, teeth must be extracted to prepare for orthodontic treatment. Removing a tooth can help align your teeth properly.
  4. Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth can become impacted as they grow, causing pain or potential alignment issues. Removal is often recommended to relieve discomfort and prevent complications.

The Extraction Process

Our team is committed to making your extraction as comfortable and stress-free as possible:

  • Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive examination and X-rays to evaluate the condition of your teeth and discuss the removal procedure.
  • Anaesthesia: We’ll administer local anaesthesia to numb the area and ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.
  • Extraction: We gently remove the tooth using specialised dental instruments. Depending on the complexity of your case, we offer simple and surgical extractions.
  • Aftercare: Proper aftercare is crucial for optimal recovery. We will provide detailed instructions and support to promote healing and manage discomfort.
