TOOTH EXTRACTION

Got a Tooth That’s More Trouble Than It’s Worth? Let Us Handle the Extraction With Ease

At Shackleton Dental, we turn tooth troubles into smooth sailing. Whether it’s a stubborn wisdom tooth or one that’s seen better days, our tooth extraction treatment is designed to give you relief with our expertise.

What Is A Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth that’s causing problems or needs to be taken out for your overall dental health. It might sound intimidating, but with our skilled team and modern techniques, it’s a straightforward solution to get you back to smiling with confidence.

What is our Process?

  1. Assess & Plan:
    First things first: we’ll take a close look at your tooth with X-rays and discuss the extraction plan. Whether it’s a simple extraction or a bit more complex, we’ll make sure you know exactly what’s going to happen.
  2. Numb & Remove:
    On the day of the procedure, we’ll numb the area with local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable. For more complex cases, we might offer sedation options. Then, our expert team will gently remove the tooth, ensuring minimal discomfort.
  3. Post-Extraction Care:
    After the extraction, we’ll provide you with easy-to-follow aftercare instructions. You’ll learn how to manage any swelling and pain, and we’ll recommend soft foods that are gentle on your mouth while it heals.
  4. Follow-Up:
    We’ll schedule a follow-up visit to check on your recovery and address any questions you might have. Your tooth will be gone, but your smile will be back in no time!

FAQs

Will it hurt?

Not really! We use effective anesthesia to numb the area, so you shouldn’t feel a thing during the procedure. Afterward, you might experience some soreness, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long is recovery?

Most people recover within a week or so. You’ll likely experience some swelling and tenderness initially, but these symptoms will subside as you heal.

Can I eat normally after extraction?

Stick to soft foods and avoid hot or spicy items for the first few days. As you heal, you can gradually return to your normal diet.

Do I need to take time off work or school?

It’s a good idea to take it easy for a couple of days post-procedure. Most people are back to their usual activities within a few days.

Will I need a follow-up visit?

Yes, we’ll schedule a follow-up to ensure everything is healing properly and to address any concerns. Your recovery is important to us!

Who Is A Tooth Extraction For?

Tooth extraction is ideal for anyone experiencing issues with a problematic tooth, including:

  • Pain Sufferers: If you’ve got a tooth causing persistent pain or discomfort, extraction might be the best way to get relief.
  • Crowding or Impaction: If your teeth are overcrowded or your wisdom teeth are impacted, extraction can help create space and alleviate issues.
  • Severe Decay: For teeth that are too damaged or decayed to save with other treatments, extraction is a practical solution to protect your overall dental health.
