Tooth Extraction in Melbourne

Tooth Extraction in Melbourne

For various reasons, a dentist may need to remove a tooth or two. This is often done to reduce crowding in the mouth and make space for proper alignment of dentures, braces or Invisalign®, or when milk teeth are not falling out on their own to make room for permanent teeth to grow. Before any tooth is extracted, a series of tests will be conducted to ensure the tooth’s extraction is safe. We also consider the possibility of using other methods to reduce overcrowding before resorting to tooth extraction in Melbourne.

Quality Extraction Services

The longer a compromised tooth remains inside the mouth, the more it will deteriorate and cause other problems. Diseased, impacted or wisdom tooth extraction starts with booking an appointment with our dentist.

The benefits of Tooth Extraction:
  • Prevents occurrence of oral diseases and inflammation
  • Reduces chances of cysts, jaw damage and even tumours
  • Reduces crowding and thus. decrease chances of serious orthodontic problems fromarising
  • Saves nearby teeth from propagation of bacteria and infection
  • Reduces overall orofacial pain

Reasons for Tooth Removal:

  • Trauma or disease: In cases of trauma, we usually try to restore the tooth back to health using various dental procedures. If this doesn’t work, the last resort is extracting the tooth. In case of diseases, we initially aim for restoration. When the health hazards caused by the presence of a tooth are considerably large, we resort to tooth removal in order to prevent infection from spreading to the jawbone.
  • Orthodontic reasons: The human jaw can accommodate only a limited number of teeth. When a certain number of teeth are present in the jaw, it may lead to crowding which has serious drawbacks. To prevent these drawbacks from affecting your dental health, one or two teeth might need to be removed. Such extractions make room for other teeth to develop and also allow aligners to more easily fit.
  • Wisdom tooth extraction: Early removal of an impacted wisdom tooth not only saves the patient from pain, but also prevents issues with the alignment and health of neighbouring teeth. This is usually done when the impacted wisdom tooth isn’t in the usual position and there’s no room for it to emerge properly.
  • Baby teeth: For the permanent teeth to grow fully, the baby teeth must be removed. Usually baby teeth will fall out on their own, but when they don’t, a children’s dentist may need to remove teeth to prevent crowding.
At Melbourne Dental Family Care, we understand that the incorrect extraction of a tooth can cause serious health problems. Our team of dentists carefully examine a tooth before deciding whether to extract it. We conduct thorough examinations using advanced technology that not only makes the process safe, but also minimises human error.
