What is Tooth Extractions?

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket due to damage, decay, or infection. It is often necessary when a tooth cannot be saved through other treatments. Common extractions include molar extraction for severely damaged molars or when a tooth is causing overcrowding. Teeth extraction can also be performed to prevent further oral health issues. In Takapuna and North Shore Auckland, professional tooth pulled treatments are available to restore your oral health and comfort effectively.

What are the types of Extraction?

There are two main types of tooth extractions:

  • Simple Extraction (Non Surgical): This is performed on a tooth that is visible in the mouth. The dentist loosens the tooth with an instrument called an elevator and removes it with forceps. Simple extractions are typically done under local anesthesia.
  • Surgical Extraction: This is required for teeth that are impacted, broken, or not easily accessible. It’s commonly used for molar extraction or wisdom tooth extraction, where the tooth may be beneath the gum line or have not fully erupted. Teeth extraction procedures in Takapuna and North Shore Auckland are performed with care to ensure a smooth recovery.
