When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
There are several reasons a tooth may need to be removed, including:
- Extensive decay or infection that cannot be restored
- Cracked or fractured teeth below the gumline
- Advanced gum disease compromising tooth support
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Impacted or partially erupted teeth causing pain or alignment issues
Dr Pellew thoroughly assesses every case before recommending an extraction, exploring all restorative options first to preserve natural teeth whenever possible.
The Extraction Process
Comprehensive assessment – an examination and X-rays help determine the best approach.
Anaesthesia and comfort – local anaesthetic or sedation ensures a relaxed, pain-free procedure.
Gentle removal – Dr Pellew uses modern, minimally invasive techniques to protect surrounding bone and tissues.
Aftercare guidance – you’ll receive clear instructions for home care and recovery, including pain management and healing support.
For more complex cases, such as impacted or broken teeth, a minor surgical extraction may be required. In every instance, the procedure is performed with meticulous care and precision.
Replacing an Extracted Tooth
After extraction, it’s important to consider tooth replacement options to maintain bite function and prevent bone loss. Dr Pellew can discuss restorative solutions such as:
- Dental implants – permanent, natural-looking replacements
- Bridges – fixed options supported by neighbouring teeth
- Dentures – modern, comfortable removable alternatives
Each recommendation is tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
