Tooth Extraction

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the process of safely removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s usually recommended when:

  • Severe decay or infection has destroyed much of the tooth structure.

  • The tooth has fractured beyond repair.

  • Gum disease has caused bone loss and mobility.

  • Wisdom teeth are impacted or causing crowding.

  • The infection or inflammation cannot be resolved with root canal treatment.

At Brisbane Emergency Dentist, we use modern anaesthetic techniques and gentle extraction methods to ensure the process is comfortable and efficient.

Tooth Extraction

Types of Tooth Extraction and When You Might Need One

In Brisbane, we’ve helped hundreds of patients restore comfort and oral health through expert extractions. Our dentists combine advanced imaging, precise instruments, and calm guidance to make each procedure quick and pain-free.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

When a tooth is broken, impacted, or not easily accessible, a surgical extraction is required. This minor oral surgery involves a small incision in the gum to safely remove the tooth.

Why it’s urgent:
Delaying treatment can lead to infection, swelling, or nerve pain.

What we do:
Our dentists use gentle surgical methods under local anaesthetic, ensuring minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth often become impacted or infected when there’s not enough room for them to grow properly. This can cause jaw pain, swelling, and gum inflammation.

Why it’s urgent:
Ignoring wisdom tooth pain can lead to infections and misalignment of nearby teeth.

What we do:
We remove the affected tooth using advanced imaging and anaesthesia, helping you recover smoothly while preventing further complications.

Dry Socket Treatment

A dry socket can occur when the protective blood clot dislodges after an extraction, leaving the bone exposed. It can be extremely painful and requires immediate care.

Why it’s urgent:
Untreated dry socket can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.

What we do:
Our team gently cleans the area, applies medicated dressings, and provides pain relief to promote faster recovery.

Aftercare and Healing

Proper aftercare helps ensure quick healing and prevents complications.
We recommend:

  • Avoid smoking or using straws for 24–48 hours

  • Eat soft foods and avoid touching the extraction site

  • Take pain relief or antibiotics as prescribed

  • Rinse gently with warm saltwater after 24 hours

Our dentists also provide follow-up visits to monitor your recovery and discuss replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges.
