Welcome to Devonport Dental Care, where we offer a comprehensive range of oral surgery services, including tooth extraction, wisdom teeth removal, and dental implant insertion. Our skilled team of dental professionals is dedicated to providing top-quality care and ensuring your comfort throughout the tooth extraction process.

Determining the Need for Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond the point of repair. This condition is often accompanied by pain and infection. During your appointment, our dentist will take an X-ray to assess the tooth’s condition and evaluate any challenges associated with its removal.

Painless Tooth Extraction with Advanced Local Anesthesia

Fortunately, advancements in local anaesthesia have made the process of tooth extraction virtually painless. Our experienced dentists will administer the appropriate anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. If you still feel anxious about tooth extraction, we offer various sedation options to help you relax and alleviate any concerns.

Exploring Options for Tooth Replacement

Once a tooth is extracted, you may be left with a gap in your smile. At Devonport Dental Care, we offer several options to address this issue:

1. Leave the Space: Sometimes, leaving the gap may be a viable option. Over time, the jaw bone will naturally heal and fill in the space.
2. Denture Tooth: A denture tooth can be crafted to fit into the gap, providing a temporary solution. However, dentures may have limitations in terms of stability and functionality.
3. Dental Bridge: A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that spans the gap left by the extracted tooth. It consists of a prosthetic tooth held in place by crowns attached to the adjacent teeth.
4. Dental Implant: A dental implant is a permanent and highly effective solution for replacing a missing tooth. It involves the surgical placement of a titanium implant into the jawbone, which serves as an anchor for a lifelike prosthetic tooth.

Determining the Cost of Tooth Extraction

The cost of tooth extraction can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the extraction and whether you have private health insurance. If you have private health insurance, it may cover the cost of tooth extraction.

For patients without insurance, our dentist will evaluate the complexities involved during the consultation and provide you with an estimate of the cost. We strive to offer transparent pricing and will discuss the financial aspects with you before proceeding with the extraction.
