Why it matters
When removal may be the right option
An examination and X-ray show whether a tooth can still be restored or whether removal is the sounder choice.
- A tooth cracked or broken below the gum line
- Decay too extensive for a filling or crown
- Repeated infection or an abscess around one tooth
- Severe gum disease has loosened the tooth
- A wisdom tooth causing pain or repeated swelling
- Crowding that an orthodontic plan needs to resolve

Treatment benefits
Care designed around your needs
01
Save-first assessment
We review whether a root canal, crown or other repair can keep the tooth before recommending removal.
02
Comfort-focused
The area is thoroughly numbed and the approach is explained step by step before we begin.
03
Infection addressed
Removing a tooth that cannot be restored takes away a persistent source of infection and pain.
04
A plan for the gap
We discuss implant, bridge and denture options so the space is managed rather than ignored.
What to expect
Your treatment process
- 1
Examination and X-ray
We confirm the condition of the tooth, the roots and the surrounding bone.
- 2
Discussing the options
You hear what can be saved, what cannot, and what each path involves.
- 3
The removal
The area is numbed and the tooth is removed as gently as the situation allows.
- 4
Aftercare instructions
You leave with clear written guidance on protecting the socket while it heals.
- 5
Replacing the tooth
At the review visit we plan how the gap will be restored if that is right for you.
Cost and planning
What affects the cost of this treatment
What an extraction involves depends on the tooth, not on a price list. These are the factors your dentist reviews at the examination.
Simple or surgical
A tooth that is fully visible is removed differently from one that is broken at the gum line or still under bone.
Which tooth it is
Front teeth have a single root; molars and wisdom teeth have several, which makes removal more involved.
Infection present
An abscessed tooth may need infection managed as part of the plan.
Comfort options
The numbing and comfort approach is chosen with you before treatment begins.
What replaces the tooth
An implant, bridge or denture afterwards is a separate stage and is planned and quoted with you.
Your dental benefits
Coverage for extractions and for replacing the tooth differs between plans.
There is no single price for this treatment. After an examination you receive a written treatment plan with the cost of each step, and our team reviews your dental benefits and payment options with you before anything begins.
Recovery and aftercare
Caring for your smile afterwards
The first day sets up the whole recovery. A blood clot has to form and stay in the socket.
- 1
Bite on the gauze
Keep steady pressure for as long as you are told, and rest with your head slightly raised.
- 2
Protect the clot
No rinsing, spitting, straws or smoking for the first 24 hours; these can dislodge the clot and cause a dry socket.
- 3
Eat soft and cool
Soft, lukewarm or cool foods for the first days, chewing on the other side.
- 4
Keep it clean
From the second day, gentle warm salt-water rinses as instructed, and keep brushing your other teeth normally.
- 5
Watch for warning signs
Call the office if pain worsens after day three, if bleeding does not settle, or if swelling or fever develops.
- 6
Plan the gap
Ask at the review visit how the space will be managed, since neighboring teeth can drift over time.
Comparing your options
Save the tooth or remove it?
Removal is a last resort, not a first option. Your dentist compares both paths with you using an examination and X-ray.
Root canal and restore
- Keeps your own root, bite and bone
- Usually needs a crown afterwards
- Possible when enough healthy tooth remains
- Nothing has to be replaced later
Extraction
- Appropriate when the tooth is cracked below the gum or too broken down
- Removes the source of infection in one visit
- Healing of the socket takes a few weeks
- The gap usually needs replacing with an implant, bridge or denture
