Get relief from a painful or infected tooth with T32 Dental’s professional tooth removal procedures. We put your comfort and safety first for a stress-free experience and smooth recovery.
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a damaged or problematic tooth is removed from its socket. It relieves you from the daunting pain and saves the surrounding teeth and gums from further complications.
At T32 Dental, we ensure you get a gentle dental extraction by minimising pain with anaesthesia and using advanced techniques.
When a tooth is beyond repair, a dental extraction is the fastest and safest option to protect your long-term oral health. Whether it’s simple or surgical extractions, our dentists ensure you’re at ease throughout the process.
Each tooth extraction appointment includes:
Severe tooth decay or damage that can’t be restored
A fractured or broken tooth
Persistent tooth pain or swelling
An infected tooth that hasn’t responded to other treatments
Inflamed or bleeding gums around the infected tooth
Advanced gum disease or dental trauma
A problematic wisdom tooth or impacted tooth
Tooth removal cost can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction, the position of the tooth, and whether sedation is required. Simple tooth removal is usually more affordable, while surgical extractions may involve additional steps. At T32 Dental, we provide a clear breakdown of your tooth extraction cost after an initial assessment, so you know exactly what to expect.
A tooth extraction is typically not painful, as the area is numbed before the procedure begins. You may feel some pressure during the dental extraction, but not pain. After the tooth removal, mild discomfort is normal and can be managed with prescribed medication and proper care. Our team ensures your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Most patients recover from a tooth removal within a few days, although complete healing may take a couple of weeks or even months in certain cases. At our clinic, we provide personalised after-care guidance that you can follow for a smooth recovery.
A simple tooth extraction is performed when the tooth is visible and can be easily removed using dental instruments. A surgical extraction is required when the tooth is impacted, broken, or not fully erupted, and may involve a small incision in the gum. Our dentists will determine the type of dental extraction needed based on your condition.
Most procedures are completed within 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the complexity of the tooth removal. Simple extractions are quicker, while surgical dental extractions may take longer. Your dentist will guide you on the expected duration during your consultation.
If you’ve had a simple extraction with local anaesthesia, you can usually drive home afterwards. However, if sedation is used, you may need someone to accompany you. Our dentist will advise you based on your treatment plan.
After a dental extraction, it’s important to rest, avoid strenuous activity, and follow all aftercare advice provided by your dentist. This may include biting on gauze, avoiding hot foods, and sticking to soft foods for a few days. Proper care helps prevent complications and ensures smooth healing.
In many cases, replacing a removed tooth is important to maintain proper function and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth. Options include dental implants, bridges, or dentures, depending on your needs. Our team will guide you through the best solution after a dedicated consultation.
Whenever possible, saving your natural tooth with a root canal is preferred. However, if the tooth is severely damaged, infected, or cannot be restored, tooth extraction may be the better option. Our dentists will assess your condition and recommend whichever is the most effective long-term solution for your oral health.
