EXTRACTION

Sometimes, a tooth can be too damaged, decayed, or compromised to save—even with advanced treatments like root canals. In such cases, extraction may be the best option, whether it’s due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or part of a planned orthodontic treatment.

At Yarralumla Dental Care, our skilled team offers both simple and surgical extractions, using modern techniques and gentle anesthesia to ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience. We’ll guide you through every step, from the procedure itself to personalised aftercare advice for a smooth and speedy recovery.

When you'd need an extraction

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: If wisdom teeth don’t fully emerge or are blocked by other teeth, they can cause pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.
• Dental Complications: Partially erupted wisdom teeth often trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of gum disease, decay, or cysts.
• Pain or Discomfort: Even non-impacted wisdom teeth can cause ongoing soreness or pressure.
• Preventive Care: In many cases, especially for young adults, early removal is recommended to avoid future dental issues.
