Oral & Dental Surgery
Tooth Extraction
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged, infected or loose to save. It may also need to come out for orthodontic reasons or because it is an impacted wisdom tooth. Extractions at DENTEX are done under local anesthesia with care for your comfort and healing.

06 Questions
Tooth Extraction: your questions.
Will it hurt?
The area is numbed, so you feel pressure but not pain during the extraction. Afterwards, discomfort is usually managed with simple painkillers.
Should I replace an extracted tooth?
Usually yes, especially for back teeth, so the neighboring teeth do not drift. We will discuss options such as implants or bridges.
