Tooth Extractions

Pain-free Tooth Extractions in Kinross

Some medical problems or dental injuries may require tooth extractions.
In some cases, removing a tooth may be the best thing to do because of a serious infection, tooth decay, or gum disease. Our priority is to save your natural teeth. However, there are times when there are no other alternatives.
Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in your jaw bone. It is usually necessary to extract a tooth when it has become infected, decayed too much to be saved by a filling, or has been injured so badly that it cannot be held in place.

Extractions may be recommended if you have the following:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Malformed teeth

Before proceeding with the tooth extraction procedure, we will first assess the condition of your teeth. We may perform X-rays and other imaging tests. It will help us figure out what steps need to be taken to ensure the best treatment for your needs.

The dentist uses an elevator instrument to loosen a tooth for extraction. Once it’s loose, your tooth is removed using forceps. If you have an impacted tooth, your dentist will recommend surgical extraction. It is a procedure usually done for wisdom teeth removal. It starts by making a small cut in the gum tissue around that part of the mouth. Then, any bone structure that is blocking the way into one’s mouth is removed.

We know that most people are nervous about dentists, but our dental team provides painless and gentle dental services for our patients. We provide anaesthetic medications to make sure that our patients will feel comfortable during the entire procedure. When necessary, sutures can be used to aid in the healing process. Before and after the procedure, our dental staff will give you detailed instructions about your recovery process.

It is our priority to save and keep your teeth healthy. We make sure all of our patients are given an option other than a tooth extraction, such as fillings or root canal therapy. If tooth extraction is required, we will conduct a comprehensive examination and take a cautious approach before proceeding with the procedure.
The cost of dental treatment can vary depending on the severity and complexity of the condition. Simple extractions typically cost $85 to $285, while more complex procedures like tooth divisions can cost between $375 and $700.
Dental extractions can be expensive and vary depending on many factors. Non-surgical extractions of teeth can cost up to $285. If the tooth needs to be sectioned out, the extraction can cost up to $350. For dental surgery or extraction of teeth or tooth fragments that require bone removal or tooth division, the price can range from $375 to $700.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth extractions. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily can keep you from developing oral diseases or infections that may require tooth extraction.

Healthy teeth are vital for your overall health and wellbeing. It helps your body eat the nutritional foods that you need to fight infections. Therefore, you should avoid foods like sweetened drinks and snacks, which can attract bacteria and wear down your teeth over time.

Lastly, to maintain good oral health and prevent the need for extractions, you should visit your dentist regularly. A regular checkup can help find any problems early on and treat them before they get worse.
