Tooth Extraction

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction may be necessary for several reasons, including severe decay, infection or high risk for infection (mispositioned wisdom teeth), advanced gum disease, etc. Our skilled dentists perform tooth extractions with precision and care to prevent further oral health issues.

Extraction Process

During a tooth extraction, the dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. In the case of simple extractions, the tooth is gently loosened and removed from its socket. For more complex cases, a surgical approach may be used involving sutures to promote healing and avoid complications.

Aftercare

Following a tooth extraction, it is important to follow our aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. You may be advised to avoid certain foods and activities for a few days and to take any prescribed medications as directed.

For more information refer to “Post-operative instructions after surgery” (under patient zone).

Gum surgery

Recessions

Graft surgery to reinforce thin gums and prevent recession. In cases where there is recession we opt for this treatment to cover exposed roots reducing risk of future cavities and addressing sensitivity due to recessions.

Advanced gum disease (periodontitis)

Deep scaling with or without surgical approach to better manage gingival pockets and improve long-term prognosis of maintaining teeth.

Crown lengthening

Excision of gums prior to a restorative therapy (filling or crown) in order to properly expose clinical crown for a more precise impression.
