While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, sometimes extraction is the most appropriate solution.

At Q Dental in Queen’s Park, we perform gentle, pain-free extractions using modern techniques and anaesthesia.

We may recommend extraction if:

  • A tooth is severely decayed.
  • Infection cannot be resolved.
  • Advanced gum disease has compromised stability.
  • Wisdom teeth are causing recurrent problems.

IV sedation is available for anxious patients.

FAQs

When might a tooth need to be removed?

A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged to be restored with treatments such as a root canal and crown.

Other common reasons include:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth that may cause pain or infection.
  • Overcrowding, particularly before orthodontic treatment.
  • Teeth that have been severely damaged due to trauma.

Our priority is always to preserve your natural teeth wherever possible, and extraction is only advised when it is the most appropriate option for your oral health.

Is tooth extraction painful?

Before the procedure, a local anaesthetic is used to fully numb the area, so you should not feel pain during the extraction. You may notice some gentle pressure, which is completely normal.

After the procedure, it’s common to experience mild discomfort as the anaesthetic wears off, but this is usually manageable and short-lived. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how straightforward and comfortable the experience is.

What happens during the extraction?

Once the area is numb, your dentist will carefully and gently loosen the tooth before removing it.

In some cases, stitches may be placed to support healing. Where appropriate, dissolvable stitches are used so there is no need for removal later on.
