Tooth Extractions

Gentle Tooth Removal with Your Trusted Ferntree Gully Dentist

At Mountain Gate Dental Clinic, we always aim to save and preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when periodontal or restorative treatments are not enough, a tooth extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. As your experienced Ferntree Gully dentist, we perform extractions with care, precision, and a strong focus on your comfort.

Tooth extractions are only recommended as a last resort, when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be restored.

The Tooth Extraction Process

Before removing the tooth, we ensure the area is fully numbed using a topical anaesthetic followed by a local anaesthetic such as Lignocaine. This helps make the procedure as painless as possible.

After the extraction, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions to promote healing and prevent infection. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to aid recovery. During the healing period, patients are advised to avoid smoking, vigorous brushing or rinsing, and hard or hot foods and drinks.

If you require a tooth extraction or have concerns about a problem tooth, our team at Mountain Gate Dental Clinic is here to help — providing gentle, professional care from your local dentist in Ferntree Gully.
