What Is Tooth Extraction?
The process of tooth extraction refers to the complete removal of a tooth from its socket within the jawbone. This is a routine dental procedure that may be necessary for various reasons, including advanced tooth decay, infections, gum disease, impacted teeth (such as wisdom teeth), or to create space for orthodontic treatment. While we strive to maintain natural teeth whenever possible, extraction can be crucial for ensuring your overall oral health and relieving pain.
Why Do I Need My Tooth Extracted?
There are several reasons why a tooth extraction may be necessary:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When tooth decay is extensive and cannot be repaired with a filling or root canal, extraction may be the only option.
- Severe Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can destroy the bone and tissues supporting the teeth, leading to loosening and the need for extraction.
- Infection: A severe tooth infection that doesn’t respond to other treatments may require extraction to prevent the spread of infection.
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted (unable to fully erupt) can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
- Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, teeth may be extracted to create space for teeth to be properly aligned with braces.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: Teeth that are severely cracked or broken and cannot be repaired may need to be extracted.

Benefits Of Teeth Extraction?
While our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, there are situations where extraction is the best option to alleviate pain, prevent further complications, and improve your overall oral health.
- Relieves Severe Pain: Extraction can provide immediate relief from severe tooth pain caused by infection or damage.
- Prevents Spread of Infection: Removing an infected tooth can prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues and bone.
- Improves Oral Health: Extraction of severely compromised teeth can improve overall oral health.
- Prepares for Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, extraction is necessary to create space for teeth alignment during orthodontic treatment.
- Prevents Complications: Removing impacted wisdom teeth can prevent pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
At Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, our priority is to ensure your tooth extraction is comfortable and pain-free. We use effective local anaesthesia to numb the area, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options, including sleep dentistry, to help you relax. Our skilled dental professionals are trained to perform extractions gently and efficiently, minimising discomfort. We strive to create a calm and peaceful environment to ease any concerns you may have.
The alternatives to tooth extraction depend on the reason for the extraction. In some cases, root canal treatment can save a severely decayed or infected tooth. For missing teeth, replacement options include dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Our dentists at our Melbourne practice will thoroughly evaluate your situation and discuss all available options to help you make an informed decision about your treatment.
The cost of a tooth extraction at Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. A simple extraction is generally less expensive than a surgical extraction, such as for impacted wisdom teeth. To obtain an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced dental team in Melbourne. We will assess your specific needs and provide you with a detailed treatment plan and a clear breakdown of the associated costs. Our friendly support team can also discuss payment options in our comfortable clinic.
The recovery time after a tooth extraction at Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and individual healing factors. Generally, you can expect some discomfort and swelling for the first few days. Following our post-operative instructions carefully, such as taking prescribed medications, applying ice packs, and avoiding certain activities, will help promote healing and minimise complications. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week. Our dental team in Melbourne will provide you with personalised post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
At Siana Dental we routinely use PRP to accelerate your healing times.
PRP (platelet rich plasma) is a blood concentrate made using the patientโs own blood. We draw a blood sample from the patient then concentrate it using a centrifuge machine to separate the different blood components into individual, concentrated layers that we can use to enhance healing after oral surgery.
One week after surgery, itโs common for a surgical site where PRP is used to appear as if it has been healing for three to four weeks. PRP dramatically speeds up the healing process.
And speedy healing is just one benefit. It also decreases bleeding intraoperatively and reduces inflammation, which in turn reduces pain. It enhances primary closure where surgical flaps are re-approximated. PRP is โrichโ in leukocytes, so thereโs a decreased risk of postoperative infection. And because itโs made from the patientโs own blood, risk of allergic or immunologic rejection is eliminated. It is also relatively inexpensive and simple to make.
โIn my 30 years of clinical practice, there has been no other medication, device or technique that does all of these things to the extent that PRP does,โ says Dr Max.
After a tooth extraction at Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, it’s important to eat soft foods that don’t require much chewing. Examples include applesauce, yogurt, mashed potatoes, soups, and smoothies. Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods that could irritate the extraction site. As your mouth heals, you can gradually introduce more solid foods. Our dental team in Melbourne will provide you with specific dietary recommendations to promote healing and prevent complications. We aim to make your recovery as comfortable as possible in our relaxed setting.
While tooth extraction is generally a safe procedure, some potential complications can occur. These may include prolonged bleeding, infection, dry socket (a painful condition where the blood clot dislodges from the extraction site), and damage to nearby teeth or nerves. At Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, our experienced dental team takes precautions to minimise the risk of complications. We provide detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to help prevent issues and ensure proper healing. If you experience any unusual symptoms after your extraction, please contact our Melbourne clinic immediately.
