What is a Dental Extraction?

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While preserving natural teeth is always our goal, extractions may be necessary in cases of severe decay, damage, infection, or crowding. Whether it's a simple extraction or a more complex surgical extraction, we’re here to provide you with the highest level of care and support throughout the process.

Reasons for Dental Extractions

• Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling, crown, or root canal, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
• Damage or Trauma: Teeth that are broken or cracked beyond repair might need to be removed to avoid further complications.
• Crowding: Sometimes, teeth need to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatment, particularly in cases of overcrowded teeth.
• Infection: A tooth that is severely infected or has an abscess may need to be extracted if other treatments, such as antibiotics or root canals, are not effective.
• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted (stuck under the gum) or growing at an angle can cause pain, infection, and other dental issues, often requiring extraction.

What to Expect During a Dental Extraction

1. Consultation: Your extraction process begins with a thorough examination at Viva Dental. We’ll assess your tooth, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether extraction is the best option. We’ll also explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
2. Needleless Anaesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we offer needleless injections, which deliver anaesthetic without the use of traditional needles. This innovative approach helps to reduce anxiety and makes the process more comfortable, particularly for patients who are nervous about injections.
3. Extraction: During a simple extraction, we’ll gently loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket. For more complex cases, such as impacted teeth, a surgical extraction may be required, which involves making an incision in the gum to access the tooth.
4. Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. This may include advice on pain management, diet, and oral hygiene.
5. Follow-Up: We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing and discuss any necessary further treatment, such as tooth replacement options like implants or bridges.
