Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal in Surrey
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, extraction may be necessary when a tooth is:
Severely decayed or damaged beyond repair
Infected and cannot be saved with a root canal
Crowded and preventing proper alignment
Impacted (common with wisdom teeth)
A consultation will determine if extraction is the best option, and our team will discuss replacement solutions if needed.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth often cause pain, crowding, or infection when they don’t have enough room to grow properly. Common reasons for removal include:
Impaction – The tooth is trapped under the gums, causing pain or swelling.
Infection & Decay – Hard-to-clean areas around wisdom teeth can lead to infections.
Crowding – Wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment.
Early removal helps prevent future complications.
What to Expect During an Extraction
Extractions are performed with care to ensure patient comfort. The procedure involves:
Numbing the area to prevent pain.
Gently removing the tooth using precise techniques.
Providing aftercare instructions to support healing.
Options for tooth replacement (if needed) will be discussed during the consultation.
