WHY DENTAL EXTRACTION?

Gentle Removal When a Tooth Cannot Be Saved

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged, infected or loose to be repaired. Dental extraction removes it gently and safely, relieves pain and protects the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.

THE PROCESS

What to Expect

Extractions are done under local anaesthesia, and we explain every step so you feel at ease.

1

Examination & X-ray

We check the tooth and surrounding bone to plan the safest way to remove it.

2

Numbing

Local anaesthesia numbs the area, so you feel pressure but no pain.

3

Gentle Removal

The tooth is loosened and removed carefully with minimal trauma to the gums and bone.

4
