Tooth Extractions
Get Comfortable and Feel Safe During Your Tooth Extractions
The thought of getting a tooth extracted is pretty daunting. People often put off getting it done because they dread the pain. But tooth extractions are routine procedures that our dental team often performs. Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which your tooth is completely removed from its socket. Dentists prefer to save natural teeth whenever possible, but sometimes restorative methods aren’t enough. Removal may be necessary if your tooth is causing pain and has been badly damaged past the point of repair.
Timberlands Dental Clinic offers safe tooth extractions performed by a skilled dentist. We understand that many feel anxious about having these dentistry procedures done. So, we ensure that you are comfortable and informed at every step. In addition to years of experience in our dental practice, our team of dentists uses the latest techniques and equipment to make this procedure as stress-free as possible. We will be happy to welcome you, so schedule a dental check-up today!

Dental Problems
Dental Problems That A Tooth Extraction Can Address
Severe Toothache
Tooth decay that has reached the tooth’s nerve can cause severe pain. If it can no longer be restored with other dental treatments, our tooth extractions may be considered to provide you with relief from severe pain.
Crowding
Sometimes, tooth extractions are needed in preparation for orthodontic treatment to make more room in the mouth for teeth to be aligned correctly. We can perform this procedure efficiently to help you achieve an attractive smile.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a painful infection at the tooth’s root or gums. If not managed, this causes serious health problems and complications. We offer tooth extractions as a treatment option to stop the infection from spreading.
Gum Disease
When you have periodontitis or advanced gum disease, your teeth can become loose and eventually fall out. Our team of qualified health practitioners aims to restore your oral health, whether we recommend periodontal therapy or an extraction procedure. Feel free to contact our friendly dental team for more information.

Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions about
Tooth Extractions
When do I need a tooth extraction?
The following are some reasons why you may want to consider tooth extractions:
- A tooth so damaged from decay that it can’t be restored
- Impacted teeth causing harm or overcrowded teeth
- Broken teeth caused by trauma from an accident
- Toothache that can’t be relieved through other treatments
Is tooth extraction painful?
Our dentists will numb the area around the tooth before starting the extraction. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but you shouldn’t feel any pain.
After the numbing agent wears off, you may feel pain or discomfort. This is normal and can be relieved with over-the-counter medication that your dentists will prescribe.
How will my dentist perform tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction is a relatively simple procedure involving the following steps:
- First, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic. It will help to ensure that you feel no pain during the procedure.
- Next, your dentist will use a tool to loosen the tooth from the gums and socket. Once loose, it will be taken out of the mouth using forceps.
- Sometimes, making small cuts in the gum tissue may be necessary to remove the tooth. However, these cuts are usually conservative.
- The dentist will place a cotton or gauze pad over the extraction site and ask you to bite down on it to control and stop the bleeding.
- After the procedure, you will be given instructions on how to care for the area and be scheduled for a follow-up dental appointment.
What should I expect after tooth extraction?
It is normal to experience some bleeding and swelling after tooth extraction. To help reduce swelling, apply an ice pack to the area for 20 minutes. You can also take the prescribed medications if you are experiencing pain.
For ideal healing, it is ideal to avoid strenuous activity, drinking through a straw for the first 24 hours and smoking for three days. Be sure to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions.
What are the risks of tooth extraction procedures?
Tooth extraction is generally safe. However, as with any dental procedure, there will be risks involved. These include:
- Prolonged bleeding
- Infection, including fever and chills
- Discomfort and pain
- Swelling and redness at the extraction site
If you experience any serious symptoms, be sure to contact your dentist right away.
Are tooth extraction procedures covered by my health fund?
Most health insurance funds will cover tooth extractions or a portion of their cost. However, this will depend on your policy. It’s always best to check with your private health insurance provider to determine how much they will cover.
Tooth extractions cost around $200 – $400 on average. However, your extraction cost may be higher, depending on the complications. For a more accurate cost, you can schedule a visit with a qualified dentist.
