Your Treatment Journey
Before your procedure, you’ll have the chance to speak with our friendly treatment coordinator, who can answer your questions and explain the process clearly.
Step 1 – Consultation
Your dentist will examine your mouth, take X-rays if needed, and discuss whether extraction is the right choice. For wisdom teeth, we’ll check their position and whether they’re impacted. You’ll receive clear advice about the procedure and aftercare.
Step 2 – Treatment Appointment
We’ll start by numbing the area completely so you won’t feel pain. For simple extractions, the tooth is gently loosened and removed. For more complex or impacted teeth, a small incision may be made to help access and remove the tooth. We’ll then clean the area, provide instructions for home care, and arrange a follow-up if necessary.
