Tooth Extractions in Sydney
As innovative dentists in Sydney, the team at Pitt St Dental Centre emphasises preventative dentistry to minimise dental complications later in life. Taking good care of your teeth, mouth and gums often result in enhanced health and overall wellbeing.
For teeth damaged by caries, injury or gum disease beyond repair, we can offer gentle teeth removal with a range of anaesthetic options to make sure you are comfortable. We will also discuss all the tooth replacement options with you.
Sedation Dentistry Services
For some dental extractions, sedation dentistry is recommended to comfortably complete the procedure. For others, we might recommend it to minimise stress, pain and discomfort as you will have no recollection or memory of the procedure.
With sedation dentistry, our Pitt St Dental Centre dentists ensure that you are completely and relaxed. Dental sedation means that you feel no pain, discomfort or stress thanks to specially administered anaesthetics monitored by highly trained Dental Sedationists.
There are generally minimal risks and complications associated with sedation dentistry. Your dentist will explain the entire procedure with you, including what happens during sedation, thoroughly before commencement.
Aftercare and Restorative Solutions
After you’ve had a tooth, or a number of teeth, extracted, it’s important to follow dentist instructions to reduce inflammation and pain. Your dentist will provide you, and sometimes your guardian, with comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a quick and simple recovery.
Following a tooth extraction, our dental team will guide you through the range of treatment options for replacing your lost tooth. Depending on your lifestyle and requirements, solutions may include dental implants, fixed bridges or dentures.
For restorative dental solutions following a tooth extraction, we work with you to select the most appropriate and low maintenance option for a natural-looking smile.
Risks & Recovery
Dental extractions are sometimes necessary to protect overall oral health, but they involve risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks may include:
- Pain, swelling or bruising after the procedure
- Minor bleeding during the initial healing period
- Risk of infection at the extraction site
- Dry socket, where the blood clot dislodges and delays healing
- Nerve injury, depending on the location of the tooth
Recovery considerations:
- Initial healing usually occurs within one to two weeks
- Rest and avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24 hours can support recovery
- Soft foods and gentle oral hygiene are recommended in the early days
- Following aftercare instructions helps reduce the risk of complications
