When might I need a tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. It may be considered when decay or damage is too extensive to restore, when infection or gum problems affect the tooth, or when a tooth is causing other concerns. Extraction is not decided from symptoms alone: Dr Chalita le Roux examines the tooth and assesses your oral health in person before discussing suitable options.
If the tooth may be saved, the dentist can explain restorative care as an alternative. The right approach depends on the tooth’s condition, your health and your preferences. You can ask questions and discuss the expected steps before deciding how to proceed.
What happens during a tooth extraction appointment?
Your appointment starts with a discussion of your symptoms and health history, followed by an examination and imaging if clinically indicated. Dr Chalita explains the findings, the proposed approach and relevant risks. If extraction is appropriate and you choose to proceed, local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. The dentist then loosens and removes the tooth; a more complex tooth may require a surgical approach.
You may feel pressure during the procedure, but tell the dentist if you feel discomfort so it can be assessed. The time and steps involved vary with the tooth and its position. Your dentist will explain what to expect and provide instructions for caring for the area afterwards.
How much does tooth extraction cost?
The cost depends on factors such as which tooth is involved, the complexity of removal, whether a surgical approach or additional imaging is needed, and the care required afterwards. A straightforward extraction may fall into a lower relative tier ($), while a more involved procedure may be moderate ($$) or higher ($$$). These tiers describe relative complexity, not a quoted fee.
Dr Chalita le Roux assesses your tooth in person and explains the recommended care and relevant cost factors. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.

Dr Chalita le Roux provides personalised care from assessment through treatment and follow-up guidance. Having a practice close to the area can make appointments more convenient, while the dentist’s examination determines what care is suitable for you.
What should I do after a tooth extraction?
Follow the instructions given for your specific procedure. In general, protect the blood clot by avoiding vigorous rinsing, spitting or disturbing the area at first, and choose soft foods while it is tender. Keep up gentle oral hygiene, taking care around the extraction site. Your dentist will advise when to resume your usual routine and whether a review is needed.
Some soreness, swelling or light bleeding can occur, but contact the practice if symptoms concern you or worsen. Seek urgent medical help for severe bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly increasing swelling. Your health history and the type of extraction affect aftercare, so we assess this in person and tailor guidance to you.

Frequently asked questions
Can a tooth be saved instead of extracted?
Sometimes. Whether a tooth can be restored depends on how much healthy structure remains and the condition of its roots and surrounding tissues. Dr Chalita le Roux examines the tooth and discusses suitable options, which may include restorative care or extraction. The recommendation is based on your individual findings, not symptoms alone. We assess this in person so you can understand the choices before deciding on treatment.
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area during an extraction. You may notice pressure or movement, and experiences vary depending on the tooth and procedure. Let Dr Chalita le Roux know if you feel discomfort during treatment so it can be assessed. Some tenderness afterwards is possible, and you will receive guidance on caring for the site. Your dentist can discuss what to expect at your consultation.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
The time varies according to which tooth is being removed, its position and whether the procedure is straightforward or surgical. The appointment also includes assessment and an explanation of the plan. Dr Chalita le Roux can give you a clearer idea after examining the tooth and any relevant imaging. We assess this in person rather than estimating from the tooth name alone.
What can I eat after an extraction?
Choose soft foods while the area is tender and follow the instructions provided for your procedure. Avoid disturbing the extraction site, particularly while the blood clot is forming, and ask your dentist when to return to your usual diet. Your advice may vary with the complexity of removal and your health. Contact the practice if you are unsure about a food or notice symptoms that concern you.

Can I get an extraction on the same day as my consultation?
