Dental Extractions

Also referred to as exodontia, patients are often sent to our clinic for the removal of teeth. This may be due to the difficulty of the extraction or, more often, because of the patients complicated medical history.

You and your dentist may have determined that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed or infected. Others may have advanced periodontal disease or are broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth) or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

The removal of teeth may lead to difficulties related to your chewing ability, the health of your jaw joint, and may lead to the shifting of teeth which can all have a major impact on your dental and general health. To avoid these complications, dental implants, bridge work or dentures are often recommended.

The Extraction Process

In order to complete your extraction, a combination of intravenous sedation and local anaesthesia are often recommended. This helps to ensure that both your comfort and safety are maximized.

Most of the extractions referred to us are called surgical extractions which means that the tooth is so fragile that the gum tissue, tooth and jaw bone may need to be cut in order to facilitate the removal of the tooth. This is a very common procedure for us, one that we routinely perform on a daily basis.
