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.
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 South Morang dental 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 South Morang dentist at South Morang Smiles.

We follow a gentle, step-by-step approach to ensure your comfort:
1. Comprehensive Examination
We assess your tooth with X-rays to understand its position, roots, and surrounding bone.
2. Local Anaesthesia for a Pain-Free Procedure
Your tooth and surrounding area will be fully numbed so you don’t feel any pain.
3. Gentle Extraction Technique
Whether it’s a simple or surgical extraction, our experienced dentists use modern, minimally invasive techniques to reduce discomfort and swelling.
4. Post-Extraction Care Instructions
We provide detailed after-care guidance to support healing and minimise complications.
5. Options for Tooth Replacement
If needed, we will discuss restorative options such as dental implants, bridges, and dentures.

Some cases require minor surgical intervention, especially with impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth.
