Extractions and oral surgery involve the removal of teeth that are damaged, decayed, or causing problems that cannot be treated with other dental procedures. A simple extraction may be carried out when a tooth is visible and easily accessible, while more complex cases may require oral surgery, such as impacted wisdom tooth removal.
These procedures are performed with local anaesthetic to ensure patient comfort, and sedation may be offered for more complex treatments or anxious patients. The aim is to relieve pain, prevent further infection, and protect overall oral health. After the procedure, patients are given aftercare instructions to support proper healing and recovery.
Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth can quickly ease pain and improve comfort.
Extraction helps stop infection from affecting surrounding teeth, gums, and bone.
Oral surgery can remove problematic teeth, such as impacted wisdom teeth, helping maintain a healthier mouth overall.
Removing a troublesome tooth can prevent overcrowding, shifting, or damage to nearby teeth.
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed due to decay, damage, infection, or overcrowding.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment, only pressure. Sedation may also be available if needed.
Oral surgery refers to more complex procedures such as removing impacted teeth, often including wisdom teeth, or dealing with surgical dental issues.
Initial healing usually takes a few days, but full recovery can take one to two weeks depending on the complexity of the procedure.
You should avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, and eating hard or hot foods for the first 24–48 hours to support proper healing.
