Safe, gentle removal of damaged or problematic teeth, with clear aftercare to support a quick and comfortable recovery.
A tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or compromised to be saved — or when its presence is causing problems for the surrounding teeth or overall oral health. At DentArt, extraction is always a last resort. We explore every option to preserve the natural tooth before recommending removal.
When extraction is necessary
Common reasons include severe decay that has destroyed too much tooth structure to restore, advanced gum disease that has compromised the supporting bone, dental trauma, failed root canal treatment, and wisdom teeth causing crowding, infection, or impaction.
Removing a tooth is never our first recommendation — but when it's the right call, doing it well and planning what comes next is what matters most.
The extraction process
All extractions at DentArt are performed under local anaesthetic. Simple extractions involve loosening and removing the visible tooth. Surgical extractions — required for impacted or broken teeth — involve a minor surgical approach under anaesthetic, with full aftercare instructions provided.
What happens after
We'll always discuss tooth replacement options before an extraction takes place. Leaving a gap unaddressed leads to bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth over time. Whether an implant, bridge, or denture is appropriate, we'll help you plan the next step before you leave.
Book an appointment and we'll assess your tooth and discuss all available options before making any decisions.
