Tooth Extraction in Bayswater and Boronia

Pay No Gap

Fast and minimally invasive tooth extraction

Are you dealing with tooth pain or have a damaged tooth that needs attention? We all want to keep our teeth throughout our lives, but sometimes tooth extraction is the best option.


Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Tooth extractions are typically considered a last resort, but there are situations where they may be necessary:

  • When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, it may need removal to prevent further harm.
  • To prepare for dental treatments like braces, dental implants, wisdom tooth removal, and emergency dental procedures.
    • Practicing good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and general dentistry check-ups, can keep your teeth healthy and reduce the likelihood of extractions. If you're anxious about dental visits, our sedation options can help you feel more comfortable during procedures.

    What Happens if You Delay Tooth Extraction?

    Putting off necessary tooth extractions can lead to more pain, increased risk of infection, and potential complications that could affect nearby teeth. It may even cause your neighbouring teeth to shift, impacting your bite and overall dental alignment. That's why it's best to deal with this problem sooner rather than later.

    Our tooth extraction services will put an end to your discomfort, prevent further issues, and improve the overall health of your smile - allowing you to confidently show off your pearly whites in no time!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    If you need a tooth to be removed, your dentist will usually give you a local anaesthetic to numb your mouth so you don’t feel pain. Your dentist will then use a special tool to loosen the tooth in the gum. Once the tooth is loose, they will remove it with forceps.

    If your tooth extraction is more complicated, you might need to be given a general anaesthetic, which will put you to sleep.

    After your tooth has been removed, your dentist will probably need to make sure the gum socket is clean. If you needed a cut in the gum during tooth removal, you might need a stitch to close the cut.

    You might have some bleeding and if so, the dentist will usually ask you to bite down on a piece of gauze to stop the bleeding.

    Once the anaesthetic wears off, you will probably have some pain. Your dentist might write you a prescription for pain relief medicine or recommend an over-the-counter medicine.

    You’ll also probably be told to eat soft foods and chew on the unaffected side of your mouth for a while. Be careful not to bite your lip while it is numb. You should rest and avoid physical sports, smoking and drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours.

    Usually, the wound will take 1 or 2 weeks to heal. However, contact your dentist if you have:

    • - ongoing severe pain — this may be caused by a complication called dry socket
    • - excessive bleeding
    • - a fever

    This will depend on your situation. Once the dentist has assessed your tooth they will explain any alternatives and their pros and cons.

    If you have a tooth that needs to be extracted, but you choose to leave it untreated, there can be several negative consequences. Some of them are:

    • 1. Pain and Discomfort: If a tooth is infected, decayed or damaged, it can cause persistent pain and discomfort.
    • 2. Spread of Infection: If a tooth is infected, the infection can spread to other parts of the mouth and even the jaw, leading to more serious issues.
    • 3. Damage to Adjacent Teeth: If a damaged tooth is not removed, it can damage surrounding teeth, leading to more dental problems.
    • 4. Abscess Formation: If a tooth is not extracted, the infection can spread to the roots and form an abscess, causing severe pain and swelling.
    • 5. Impact on Oral Health: A damaged or infected tooth can impact the overall health of the mouth and lead to more serious dental problems.

    It is important to see a dentist regularly and address any dental problems as soon as possible to avoid these consequences.

    The cost of a tooth extraction varies and depends on several factors such as the type of extraction (simple or surgical), the patient’s insurance coverage, and the complexity of the procedure. You dentist will clearly explain all expected costs to you at your first visit.
