Extractions

Hearing that you may need a tooth extraction can feel daunting. Many people associate extractions with pain or discomfort, but modern techniques and a gentle approach make the experience far more comfortable than most expect.

At Dentique Studios, our team is committed to ensuring your extraction is as smooth and stress-free as possible, whether you need a simple removal, a wisdom tooth extraction or a surgical extraction.

What Is a Tooth Extraction, and When Is It Needed?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While saving a tooth is always our first priority, there are times when extraction is the best solution for your oral health.

Wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons for extractions. When these back molars do not have enough room to grow, they can become impacted, cause crowding, damage nearby teeth or lead to infections. Removing them early can prevent future discomfort and protect your smile.

Common reasons for extraction include:

Severe decay that cannot be restored
Advanced gum disease causing tooth mobility
Broken or fractured teeth beyond repair
Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth
Preparing for orthodontic treatment or dentures

What Are the Benefits of a Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extractions, while often seen as a last resort, can offer many important advantages for your overall health and comfort.

Relieves Pain

Removing a damaged or impacted tooth eliminates ongoing discomfort and allows you to feel better.

Prevents Infection

Extraction can stop decay or infection from spreading to neighbouring teeth or deeper into the jawbone.

Improves Function

Addressing problematic teeth can restore your ability to bite, chew and speak more comfortably.

Supports Treatment

Extractions can create space for orthodontics, implants or dentures, setting the foundation for a healthier smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I have my wisdom teeth extracted?

Wisdom teeth can sometimes feel like a dental milestone, but for many people, they bring more trouble than benefit. These third molars often do not have enough room to emerge properly, which can lead to pain, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth.

At Dentique Studios, we understand that deciding to remove them can feel daunting, and we are here to guide you through the process with compassion and care.

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Extracting wisdom teeth can help prevent a range of dental issues, including:

Impaction, where the tooth becomes trapped under the gum or jawbone
Infection or inflammation in the surrounding gums
Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
Damage to existing dental work, such as crowns or bridges

In some cases, wisdom teeth may also contribute to jaw discomfort or sinus problems. Removing them early, often in the late teens or early twenties, can help you avoid more complex issues later in life.

Our friendly team can arrange an assessment and provide advice tailored to your needs, helping you feel confident about your oral health decisions.

Comfortable Surgical Extractions at Dentique Studios

Some teeth require surgical extraction when they cannot be removed easily. This may be the case with impacted wisdom teeth, broken teeth or roots that are difficult to access. At Dentique Studios, we use advanced techniques, precise planning and modern anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

We take the time to explain every step so you know what to expect. Our team also provides clear aftercare instructions to support your recovery and minimise discomfort. Many patients are surprised at how straightforward and painless the process feels compared to what they had imagined.
