Gentle & Stress-Free Tooth Extractions for Your Oral Health

We understand that needing a tooth extracted can feel nerve-wracking. However, this routine procedure is often the best way to protect your oral health when a tooth is severely damaged or causing problems.

General Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are suggested when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or causing pain. Common situations requiring an extraction include:
Severe Decay or Damage
When a tooth is too damaged for a root canal or restoration.
Gum Disease
Advanced periodontal disease can weaken the surrounding bones and gums, making extraction necessary.
Overcrowding
Teeth that overlap or press against one another may need removal to improve alignment or prepare for orthodontic treatment.
Infection
If a tooth’s infection spreads and cannot be resolved with other treatments.
Our dentist in Hamilton will evaluate your condition thoroughly and recommend extraction only when it’s the best option for preserving your oral health.

What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extractions are straightforward procedures. Here’s a step-by-step overview:

Evaluation

We examine your tooth and take X-rays to check the tooth's condition and surrounding area.

Local Anesthetic

A local anesthetic is used to numb the area so you won’t feel pain during the procedure.

Extraction

The dentist uses gentle tools to loosen and remove the tooth. For teeth below the gumline, surgical techniques may be used.

Aftercare

We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to heal properly, such as keeping the area clean, managing swelling, and avoiding certain foods.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often appear in late teens or early adulthood. Many people need them removed to avoid complications like overcrowding, pain, or infections.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Crowding
These extra teeth can push against others, causing misalignment.
Infections
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, and gum infections.
Easier Care
Removing wisdom teeth reduces the risk of decay or gum disease in these hard-to-reach areas.

The Process of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Evaluation
X-rays show the position of your wisdom teeth and help plan their removal.
Anesthesia
Most procedures use local anesthetic, though sedation is available for complex cases.
Extraction
Our dentists remove the teeth carefully, sometimes dividing them into smaller sections to help remove them more easily.
Healing
We provide aftercare tips to help you recover quickly and comfortably.

Options for Tooth Replacement

If your extraction involves a tooth that needs replacing, we offer a variety of solutions to restore your smile. Our team is happy to guide you through the options and recommend the best solution for your needs.
Dental Implants
A long-lasting option where an artificial tooth is secured to a titanium post placed in the jawbone. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental Bridges
Ideal for replacing one or more missing teeth, bridges use adjacent teeth or artificial tooth roots for support.
Partial Dentures
A removable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, designed for comfort and ease of use.
