While we always try to save natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the safest and most appropriate option — due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or problematic wisdom teeth. At Eastdale Family Dental, we perform both simple and surgical extractions with a gentle, careful technique to minimize discomfort and promote rapid healing.
Dr. Arora has particular expertise in extractions and approaches every case with precision and compassion, ensuring you're well-informed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the process.
When Extraction Is the Right Choice
- ✓ Relieves pain from severely decayed or broken teeth
- ✓ Prevents spreading infection to neighbouring teeth and bone
- ✓ Creates space for orthodontic treatment when needed
- ✓ Removes problematic wisdom teeth before they cause damage
- ✓ Gentle technique for minimal discomfort and faster healing
- ✓ Detailed aftercare instructions to support smooth recovery
What to Expect
Examination & X-Ray
We assess the tooth, surrounding bone, and root structure to plan the safest extraction approach.
Anaesthesia
The area is completely numbed so you'll feel pressure but no pain during the extraction.
Loosening the Tooth
For simple extractions, the tooth is gently rocked using a dental elevator to widen the socket.
Removal
The tooth is carefully extracted. Surgical extractions (e.g., impacted wisdom teeth) may involve a small incision.
Socket Care
Gauze is placed to control bleeding and a blood clot forms to protect the socket.
Aftercare Instructions
We provide detailed written and verbal instructions on diet, activity, and healing to ensure a smooth recovery.
