Tooth removal
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged to save, or a wisdom tooth has no room to grow. We remove it gently and help the area heal well.
- How long does it take?
- 1 visit, 20–60 minutes
- Does it hurt?
- Numbed; you'll feel pressure but no pain
- What about recovery?
- Most people feel fine in 2–4 days
You might need this if
- A badly broken or decayed tooth that can't be repaired
- Painful, swollen gum around a wisdom tooth
- A tooth that's loose because of gum disease
What happens, step by step
- 1
X-ray
Shows the roots and nearby nerves so we can plan the removal.
- 2
Numbing
The area is fully numbed. You'll feel pressure, not pain.

Gauze and rest
You bite on gauze to stop the bleeding and go home with care tips.
After your treatment
Every mouth is different, so your dentist will give you advice for your own case.
- Bite on the gauze for 30–45 minutes
- For 24 hours, don't spit, rinse hard, smoke or use a straw
- Eat soft, cool food for the first day
