Extraction
Assessment and careful removal when a tooth cannot be restored or needs to be removed.
A tooth may need to be removed when it cannot be restored or when removal is otherwise recommended. The dentist examines the tooth and explains alternatives and the procedure before proceeding.
Assessment before removal
The dentist checks the tooth, surrounding tissues and relevant health information. If a filling, crown or other treatment could preserve the tooth, those options can be discussed.
The plan depends on the tooth's position and condition. The clinic explains what the visit involves and answers questions before treatment.
After-care and replacement options
After-care instructions are tailored to the procedure and your health. Contact the clinic if you are unsure about recovery or notice a concern after your visit.
If a tooth is removed, the dentist can discuss whether replacing it is needed and which options may suit you.
Treatment suitability, steps and outcomes vary. The dentist will assess your needs and explain options before care begins.
