Dental Extractions

Dental Extractions

Sometimes a tooth extraction is the best option for your oral health. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we perform extractions with care and precision, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure with local anesthetic and sedation options when needed.

If the idea of having a tooth removed makes you nervous, you're not alone — and we understand. Our team will walk you through exactly what to expect, go at a pace that works for you, and offer oral sedation or IV sedation if it would help you feel more at ease. You can also choose from our comfort menu — headphones, a blanket, or something to watch during your appointment.

When an Extraction May Be Needed

• Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored
• Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
• Fractured or broken teeth beyond repair
• Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
• Infected teeth that do not respond to root canal therapy

The Extraction Process

We make the extraction process as comfortable as possible:

1. Thorough examination and X-rays to plan the procedure
2. Local anesthetic and sedation options for your comfort
3. Gentle removal of the tooth
4. Post-extraction care instructions
5. Follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing

After an extraction, we will discuss tooth replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and function.
