Tooth Removal

A Last Resort, Done Right at Art of Teeth Dental Clinic

While tooth preservation is always our priority at Art of Teeth Dental Clinic in Dubai, there are situations where tooth removal might become necessary. Here’s what you need to know about this procedure and how our team can ensure a comfortable and successful experience.

Severe Tooth Decay

Extensive tooth decay that cannot be restored with a filling or crown.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth that are trapped within the jawbone and cause pain or discomfort.

Fractured Tooth

A cracked or broken tooth that cannot be repaired with other methods.

Advanced Gum Disease

When gum disease (periodontitis) has severely damaged the bone and tissue supporting a tooth.

Is tooth extraction painful?

No, tooth extraction is typically not painful.

Your dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area before the procedure. You may experience some discomfort after the numbing wears off, but over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage this.

What should I expect after a tooth extraction?

After a tooth extraction, you can expect some swelling, bleeding, and discomfort.

It's important to bite down on a gauze pad for several hours to control bleeding. You should also avoid strenuous activity, hot liquids, and smoking. Proper aftercare, including gentle rinsing and avoiding hard foods, will promote healing.

Do I need to replace a missing tooth after extraction?

While it's not always necessary to immediately replace a missing tooth, it's generally recommended. Replacing a missing tooth can prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, maintain proper bite alignment, and improve your overall oral health and appearance.

Your dentist can discuss the best options for replacing your missing tooth, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
