When might a tooth need to be removed?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. It may be considered when decay or damage is extensive, infection has affected the tooth, or a tooth is causing a problem that cannot be managed with another suitable treatment. Removal is not automatic: the right approach depends on the tooth, your oral health and your preferences.
At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc, Dr le Roux examines the area and discusses the findings with you. She explains whether keeping the tooth may be possible, what extraction involves and what alternatives may be appropriate. We assess this in person before recommending a course of care.
What happens during a tooth extraction appointment?
Your appointment starts with a discussion of your symptoms and health history, followed by an examination. If imaging is needed to understand the tooth and surrounding structures, this can help inform the plan. Dr le Roux explains the proposed procedure, answers your questions and discusses relevant risks before proceeding.
For a straightforward extraction, the tooth is loosened and removed using appropriate instruments. A more complex tooth may need a different approach, and referral can be discussed if the assessment indicates that specialist care is appropriate. Local anaesthetic is used where suitable to numb the area; you may feel pressure during the procedure. We assess this in person and tailor the plan to your needs.
What are the risks and how can I care for the area afterwards?
As with any procedure, extraction has possible risks. These can include bleeding, swelling, discomfort, infection or delayed healing; the likelihood and relevant precautions depend on your circumstances and the tooth being removed. Ask Dr le Roux about any medicines, health conditions or concerns that may affect your care.
After treatment, follow the instructions provided for your situation. These may include resting, keeping pressure on the gauze as directed, avoiding disturbing the socket and choosing suitable foods while the area settles. Contact the practice for advice if bleeding does not settle as instructed, pain or swelling worsens, or you develop other concerning symptoms. We assess this in person when an examination is needed.
How much does tooth extraction cost?
The cost depends on factors such as which tooth is involved, how difficult it is to remove, the materials or lab work required for any related care, the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of your case. A simple extraction may fall into a lower relative tier ($), while a more involved procedure or additional care may sit in a moderate ($$) or higher ($$$) tier. These symbols indicate relative tiers, not quoted prices.
The right plan and its cost depend on an examination and discussion of your needs. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.

How do I know if my tooth needs to be extracted?

We assess this in person before recommending treatment, so you can understand the reason for the proposed plan and ask questions.
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used where suitable to numb the area during an extraction. You may feel pressure as the tooth is loosened, and some discomfort or tenderness can occur as the area heals. Your experience depends on the tooth and procedure. Dr le Roux can explain what to expect and discuss appropriate care for your circumstances. Tell the dentist about any concerns before treatment so they can be considered in the plan.

Can a tooth be saved instead of extracted?
Sometimes a tooth can be treated and kept, depending on the amount of damage, its condition and your oral health. Options may include restorative care, but they are not suitable in every case.
