Gentle Tooth Extractions
Safe, comfortable tooth removal with gentle care from our experienced dental team.
What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure where a tooth is safely removed from the mouth due to severe decay, infection, damage, or overcrowding. At Myrtle Dental Clinic, our gentle dentists aim to make the process as comfortable and pain-free as possible, while preserving your oral health.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
You may require an extraction if you are experiencing: severe tooth decay beyond repair, broken or fractured teeth, gum disease affecting tooth stability, impacted wisdom teeth, overcrowding before orthodontic treatment, persistent dental infections, or teeth that cannot be restored. At our Myrtle Dental Clinic practice, our dentists always prioritize saving the natural tooth—but if removal is the safest option, we ensure the process is smooth and comfortable. Trust your smile with a dedicated Myrtle Dental Clinic at Myrtle Dental Clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@myrtledental.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
No. Your tooth will be fully numbed before the procedure. You may feel pressure but not pain.
How long does it take to heal?
Most patients recover within 7–10 days, depending on the type of extraction.
Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Not always. We will assess your situation with an X-ray and recommend removal only if they are causing problems.
Can I drive home after the procedure?
Yes, if local anaesthesia is used. If sedation is used, you will need someone to drive you home.
When can I eat normally again?
Soft foods are recommended for the first 24–48 hours. You can usually return to normal eating after a few days.
What are my options if the tooth needs replacing?
We offer dental implants, bridges, and dentures depending on your needs and budget.
