Our caring dentists ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. We discuss everything in advance so you are aware of what will be done. If you are unsure whether or not you have to have a tooth removed, ring us to schedule an appointment with one of our experts.

You may require tooth extraction due to severe tooth decay, an injury that cannot be repaired, an impacted wisdom tooth, or a gum infection. Occasionally, the dentist also performs the procedure to make room for braces.
No, extracting your tooth doesn’t usually cause pain. Your dentist will anesthetize the area with local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. You are likely to have some pain later, but you’ll be able to tackle this using ordinary pain-relieving medicines.
Recovery time varies from individual to individual but typically takes 1-2 weeks. Pain should fade within a few days, but the full recovery of the gum tissues might take longer. You should abide by your dentist’s aftercare protocol for an uncomplicated recovery.
Tooth extraction is usually safe, but there are some risks. These include infection, dry socket, which happens when the blood clot leaves the socket, or injury of the adjacent teeth or nerve. These are not common risks, and your dentist will do everything possible to eliminate these risks during the procedure.
