What you should know before having a tooth taken out:
- Options to replace missing teeth are here.
- Tooth extractions can turn into a SURGICAL procedure (gum has to be cut and bone drilled away to access the tooth). Atraumatic extractions can avoid this in most cases.
- If you are nervous then options exist to make treatment more comfortable e.g. IV Sedation /Oral Sedation. Let us know if you would like more information.
- Always have some food a few hours before the procedure (If you forget, tell us)
- Once your tooth is taken out the gums and bone have to heal (as there is a hole). The bulk of this healing process takes about 3 months. You may wish to have a denture or bridge made to be fitted on the day the tooth is removed. This will only be suitable for the first 3 months while the healing process takes place and then a replacement will be required.
