Oral Surgery & Extractions

Surgical expertise. Exceptional aftercare.

When Is an Extraction Needed?

An extraction is carried out when the available options to save a tooth do not align with your needs or clinical situation. This may be due to a broken tooth, insufficient bone support, or a significant infection that makes root canal treatment no longer viable. The intended benefits of removing a tooth are relief from pain, elimination of infection, and resolution of swelling.

Simple vs. Surgical Extractions

A surgical extraction is required when a tooth has become impacted with another tooth or sits beneath the gum line, making straightforward removal impossible. We may also need to carry out a surgical extraction when a simple extraction cannot be completed — for example, if a tooth breaks during the procedure, is fractured at the gum line, or has a complex root shape. Wisdom tooth removal is the most common reason, but surgical techniques are used in a range of other situations.

Your Comfort, Our Priority

We understand that surgical dentistry can feel daunting. Our approach is unhurried, communicative, and patient-centred throughout. Pain management is taken seriously at every stage — from the injection itself to your recovery at home. IV sedation is available for patients who prefer a more relaxed experience.
