Our dentists carry out gentle extractions that stabilise patients’ oral health and related dental pain. Before any extraction is considered, we will explore every viable possibility to save your tooth, but sometimes these restorative options aren’t possible.
Our dentists have undergone training that enables them to carry out gentle extractions, using methods that promote fast healing. We use the latest sterilisation techniques to keep any possibility of post-extraction complications to a minimum, and we can offer intravenous sedation for nervous patients who need a helping hand to relax.
We know the idea of having a tooth taken out can feel daunting, and our compassionate team will treat you with kindness and respect every step of the way.
An extraction might be required when a tooth becomes severely decayed or fractured beyond the point of restoration with root canal treatment and a protective crown.
Some other scenarios when an extraction might be needed include:
Our dentists will administer a local anaesthetic before the extraction takes place to prevent you from feeling anything during the procedure. You may feel some slight pressure, and it’s normal to experience minor discomfort once the anaesthetic wears off.
We’re pleased to say that most patients are pleasantly surprised by how little discomfort they experience during and after the procedures.
Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, your tooth is gently loosened from its socket and removed using special instruments. You may require stitches to help the area heal – in some cases, we can use dissolvable stitches.
AT KT Dental, we are dedicated to improving smiles and enhancing oral health by offering a wide range of general and cosmetic treatments.
