Tooth Removal Helps Protect Overall Oral Health

Teeth may need to be removed for several reasons, including severe decay, advanced gum disease, repeated infection, fractures or lack of space during orthodontic treatment.

Before recommending extraction, your dentist will examine the tooth and discuss all appropriate treatment options. In many cases, restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns or root canal therapy may be considered first.

If removal is the most suitable option, the procedure is carried out using local anaesthetic and modern dental techniques to minimise trauma to surrounding tissues.

After the extraction, your dentist will provide guidance on healing and discuss long term tooth replacement options if needed.
