Tooth Extractions

We understand hearing you need tooth extraction can stir up a lot of concerns, from worries about your smile's appearance to the ability to enjoy your favorite meals. Dr. Brandon Onley and our empathetic team at Surrey Hills Dental are here to guide you compassionately through each step, ensuring your comfort and well-being.

When Extraction is the Right Choice

While preserving your natural teeth is always our primary goal, there are times when we recommend extraction to protect your overall oral health. Dr. Onley believes in transparent communication and will thoroughly explain if and why an extraction is the best option for you. This decision is never made lightly and always with your best interest in mind.

We may recommend tooth extraction for several reasons:

  • Severe decay makes the tooth unsalvageable
  • Advanced gum disease has loosened teeth 
  • A tooth is broken beyond repair
  • Relieve tooth overcrowding for orthodontics
  • Wisdom teeth are impacted or causing dental issues
  • Preparing for dental implants or dentures

Your Comfort is Our Priority

Our compassionate dental team is sensitive to the fact that facing tooth extraction can feel daunting. We empathize with and respect your concerns and will do everything to ensure a smooth, efficient, and comfortable procedure.

Dr. Onley uses the most potent local anesthetics so you won't feel any pain, and if you're anxious, we can offer oral sedation to soothe your nerves. Our caring team will check in with you throughout the procedure and provide support and reassurance. Whatever you need, we are here for you!

Detailed Post-Extraction Care

Proper post-extraction care is crucial, so we strongly recommend taking the day off to rest, recover, and let your body heal. Our team will provide you with comprehensive instructions to follow after your procedure, including:

  • How to manage discomfort or swelling
  • Steps to avoid complications such as dry socket
  • The importance of keeping the extraction site clean
  • Foods to avoid and dietary adjustments to make
  • Monitoring for signs of any complications

Following these guidelines will promote a swift and smooth recovery process.

Looking Ahead: Tooth Replacement Options

Facing extraction can be challenging, but having a tooth replacement plan can help minimize worries about how your smile will look or function. When you’re ready, Surrey Hills Dental offers a range of tooth replacement services tailored to fit your needs, including dental implants, bridges, and complete or partial dentures. Dr. Onley and our team will work closely with you to find a solution that considers your lifestyle, budget, and overall dental health.
