Tooth Extraction Toowoomba

Fast and painless tooth extraction

Do you have a nagging toothache that won’t go away? You may need a tooth extraction. 



At Garden City Dental Practice, we always aim to save your natural teeth whenever we can. But if a tooth is too damaged to be fixed with a root canal or filling, then tooth extraction is the best option to keep your mouth healthy for life.

Is Tooth Extraction Necessary? 

Tooth extractions are generally a last resort, but there are specific situations where they may become necessary such as:



Maintaining good oral hygiene—regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups—can help keep your teeth healthy and strong, reducing the need for extractions.


At Garden City Dental Practice, we provide tooth extractions for both children and adults. We always use local anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. After an extraction, we'll discuss options for filling the gap with natural-looking replacement teeth, like a fixed bridge or dental implants, to restore your smile.


If you're anxious about seeing the dentist, we can help! Ask us about our sleep dentistry options to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

What Happens If I Delay Tooth Extraction?

Putting off necessary tooth extractions can lead to more pain, increased risk of infection, and potential complications that could affect the nearby teeth. It may even cause your neighbouring teeth to shift, impacting your bite and overall dental alignment. That's why it's best to deal with this problem sooner rather than later.



Our tooth extraction services will put an end to your discomfort, prevent further issues, and improve the overall health of your smile - allowing you to confidently show off your pearly whites in no time!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What happens when I get my tooth removed?

    If you need a tooth to be removed, your dentist will usually give you a local anaesthetic to numb your mouth so you don’t feel pain. Your dentist will then use a special tool to loosen the tooth in the gum. Once the tooth is loose, they will remove it with forceps.


    If your tooth extraction is more complicated, you might need to be given a general anaesthetic, which will put you to sleep.


    After your tooth has been removed, your dentist will probably need to make sure the gum socket is clean. If you needed a cut in the gum during tooth removal, you might need a stitch to close the cut.


    You might have some bleeding and if so, the dentist will usually ask you to bite down on a piece of gauze to stop the bleeding.


    Once the anaesthetic wears off, you will probably have some pain. Your dentist might write you a prescription for pain relief medicine or recommend an over-the-counter medicine.


    You’ll also probably be told to eat soft foods and chew on the unaffected side of your mouth for a while. Be careful not to bite your lip while it is numb. You should rest and avoid physical sports, smoking and drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours.


    Usually, the wound will take 1 or 2 weeks to heal. However, contact your dentist if you have:


    • ongoing severe pain — this may be caused by a complication called dry socket
    • excessive bleeding
    • a fever

  • What’s the alternative to getting a tooth removed?

    This will depend on your situation. Once the dentist has assessed your tooth they will explain any alternatives and their pros and cons.

  • What happens if I leave my tooth untreated?

    If you have a tooth that needs to be extracted, but you choose to leave it untreated, there can be several negative consequences. Some of them are:


    1. Pain and Discomfort: If a tooth is infected, decayed or damaged, it can cause persistent pain and discomfort.
    2. Spread of Infection: If a tooth is infected, the infection can spread to other parts of the mouth and even the jaw, leading to more serious issues.
    3. Damage to Adjacent Teeth: If a damaged tooth is not removed, it can damage surrounding teeth, leading to more dental problems.
    4. Abscess Formation: If a tooth is not extracted, the infection can spread to the roots and form an abscess, causing severe pain and swelling.
    5. Impact on Oral Health: A damaged or infected tooth can impact the overall health of the mouth and lead to more serious dental problems.

     

    It is important to see a dentist regularly and address any dental problems as soon as possible to avoid these consequences.

  • How much does a tooth extraction cost?

    The cost of a tooth extraction varies and depends on several factors such as the type of extraction (simple or surgical), the patient’s insurance coverage, and the complexity of the procedure. You dentist will clearly explain all expected costs to you at your first visit.Our team is experienced in caring for anxious patients and will work with you to create a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and needs.
