Tooth Extraction
At Karia Dental, we understand that tooth extraction can feel daunting, but our experienced oral surgeons are here to ensure the process is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Whether it’s a straightforward removal or a more complex surgical procedure, we tailor our approach to meet each patient’s unique needs.
Simple Extractions
Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible and easily accessible in the mouth. These procedures are typically quick, involving minimal discomfort. Patients often require simple extractions to address:
- Severe tooth decay or damage
- Loose teeth from gum disease
- Preparation for orthodontic treatments
Complex Extractions
Complex extractions involve teeth that are impacted, broken below the gumline, or difficult to access, such as wisdom teeth. These procedures may require surgical intervention, including:
- Sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces for removal
- Removing bone around the tooth to access the root
- Managing impacted or partially erupted teeth
When Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?
You may require an extraction if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain or infection
- Crowding in the mouth
- Wisdom teeth causing discomfort or misalignment
- Tooth fractures that cannot be restored
Symptoms Indicating Need for Oral Surgery
Symptoms that might indicate the need for root canal treatment include:
- significant tooth or jaw pain, especially when you lie down
- sensitivity to hot or cold
- pain upon chewing on that tooth
- a darkening of the colour of only one tooth
- teeth which are tender to percussion.
Radiographs may also show dark areas around the apices or ends of the root which may indicate that the nerves may have died and that root canal therapy may be indicated.
