When you need it /

Is this your case?

Pulling a tooth is the last option, not the first. These are the cases where it’s usually needed.

A wisdom tooth is bothering you

It hurts, the gum at the back gets swollen, or it doesn’t have room to come in properly.

A tooth that can’t be saved anymore

Badly broken down by decay, or fractured at the root.

Before orthodontics or an implant

Sometimes a tooth or leftover root fragments have to come out for the treatment to work.

A lesion in your mouth

A frenulum that limits movement, a mucocele or a sore in the lining of the mouth that won’t go away on its own.

Step by step /What an extraction is like

It’s done with local anesthesia: you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure.

  1. 01

    Assessment and X-ray

    We look at the position of the tooth and its root, and tell you whether it’s best to take it out or there’s a way to save it.

  2. 02

    Local anesthesia

    We numb the area completely before we start and wait for it to take effect.

  3. 03

    Extraction

    Simple, or in sections when the tooth is impacted in the bone. When we finish, we place a gauze pad.

    30–60 min
  4. 04

    Instructions and follow-up

    We give you your aftercare instructions in writing and check how it’s healing.

After surgery /

The first few days

A little swelling and discomfort is normal for the first few days. The care you take in the first 24 hours is what helps most for it to heal well.

To help it heal well

  • Bite down on the gauze for the first few minutes to control the bleeding.
  • For the first 24 hours: no vigorous rinsing, no straws and no smoking.
  • Eat soft, cold foods the first day.
  • If the swelling gets worse or you have a fever, message us.

You shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure: the area is numbed with local anesthesia. Afterward, there may be some discomfort for a few days, which is managed with the medication we recommend.
