Tooth Extractions in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

At Central Brunswick Dental Centre, we provide tooth extraction services for patients experiencing tooth decay, infection, or overcrowding. Our team performs extractions with precision and care, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure. Located in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, our clinic is equipped to handle both simple and surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth removal.

When is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

There are several conditions where a tooth extraction may be the best option, including:

  • Severe tooth decay or damage that can’t be repaired
  • Infections that don’t respond to other treatments
  • Overcrowding or preparation for orthodontic treatment
  • Impacted wisdom teeth causing discomfort or misalignment

Types of Tooth Extractions

1. Simple Extraction

A simple extraction is performed on a visible tooth and requires only local anaesthesia to numb the area. This is a straightforward outpatient procedure, often completed in a single visit.

2. Surgical Extraction

For teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gum line, a surgical extraction may be needed. This procedure involves both local anaesthesia and possibly intravenous sedation for patient comfort. Your dentist will make a small incision in the gum and may need to remove bone or divide the tooth into smaller sections before extraction.

The Tooth Extraction Process

Before extraction, your dentist will take an X-ray to assess the tooth and surrounding structures, allowing for a precise approach during the procedure. Depending on the complexity of the extraction, your dentist will recommend either a simple or surgical approach.

Pre-Procedure Considerations

If the extraction requires sedation, it’s essential to inform your dentist of any medications you are taking or underlying health conditions. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed before the procedure, especially if:

  • You have an infection
  • The surgery is expected to be extensive
  • You have specific health conditions requiring additional protection

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from a tooth extraction typically takes a few days. During this time, you may experience minor swelling or discomfort. To manage these symptoms, your dentist may recommend:

  • Applying an ice pack to reduce swelling
  • Pain relief medication, including over-the-counter painkillers if needed
  • Following specific aftercare instructions, such as avoiding certain foods and activities for a day or two

Our team is here to guide you through the recovery process, ensuring a smooth and comfortable healing experience.
