Extractions

Tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth is too damaged, decayed or positioned in a way that it cannot reasonably be preserved through other dental treatment. This may include severely broken teeth, advanced decay, or teeth contributing to overcrowding as part of a broader treatment plan.

At Reviv Dental By Dr Gurmeen Kaur, extractions are carried out with attention to patient comfort, using local anaesthesia and a careful, unhurried technique. Before recommending an extraction, your dentist will discuss whether alternative treatments could preserve the tooth, so you can make an informed decision about your care.

After an extraction, clear aftercare instructions are provided to support healing and reduce the chance of complications. Where appropriate, your dentist will also discuss options for replacing the extracted tooth, such as an implant, bridge or denture.
