Our Tooth Extraction Castle Hill Services
- Every extraction and minor oral surgery procedure at our Castle Hill clinic is performed with precision and care:
- Simple tooth extractions: gentle removal of damaged, decayed, or loose teeth
- Wisdom tooth removal: safe extraction of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
- Surgical extractions: careful removal of teeth that cannot be extracted simply
- Post extraction care: detailed aftercare instructions and follow up support
Before any extraction, we always conduct a full dental check-up and X-ray to assess your tooth and confirm extraction is the right option. Furthermore, patients who wish to replace extracted teeth can learn more about our cosmetic and restorative dentistry options.
Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is tooth extraction painful?
We use effective local anaesthetic before every extraction so you feel no pain during the procedure. However, some mild soreness and swelling is normal in the days after. Furthermore, we give you detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover quickly and comfortably.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
A simple extraction typically takes between fifteen and thirty minutes. However, surgical extractions or wisdom tooth removal may take longer depending on the complexity of the case. Therefore, our Castle Hill team will give you a clear time estimate before your appointment.
How long is the recovery after tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within three to five days after a simple extraction. However, surgical extractions and wisdom tooth removal may require up to two weeks for full recovery. Therefore, we give every patient a full written aftercare plan at their appointment.
What is dry socket and how do I avoid it?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges before healing is complete. However, following our aftercare instructions carefully significantly reduces this risk. Therefore, avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, and vigorous rinsing for at least forty eight hours after extraction.
Can I eat after a tooth extraction?
Yes, but stick to soft foods for the first twenty four to forty eight hours. However, avoid hot foods and drinks immediately after the procedure. Furthermore, avoid chewing directly on the extraction site until it has fully healed.
Will I need to replace the extracted tooth?
In most cases yes. Leaving a gap can cause surrounding teeth to shift over time. However, several replacement options exist including bridges, dentures, and implants. Therefore, we recommend discussing your options with our Castle Hill team at your follow up appointment.
Do you remove wisdom teeth at your Castle Hill clinic?
Yes. We assess and remove wisdom teeth at our Castle Hill clinic in most cases. However, complex impactions may require referral to an oral surgeon. Therefore, our team will assess your wisdom teeth with an X-ray and advise you on the best course of action.
Is tooth extraction covered by health funds?
Some health funds provide partial cover for extractions under extras cover. However, cover varies between providers and tooth type. We recommend checking with your fund before your appointment.
How soon can I return to work after a tooth extraction?
Most patients return to work the following day after a simple extraction. However, we recommend taking an extra day off after surgical extractions or wisdom tooth removal if possible. Therefore, plan accordingly and listen to your body during recovery.
Do I need a referral for tooth extraction?
No referral is needed. Simply book directly with Memon Dental Care Castle Hill and our team will assess your tooth and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
