Call 647-492-1276

How Important Is An Extraction?

There are numerous potential reasons necessitating tooth extraction, including (though not exclusively):
  • Removing baby teeth struggling to shed naturally.
  • Extracting teeth to aid in orthodontic treatment.
  • Dealing with teeth causing pain or infection.
  • Extracting a fractured tooth.

Nevertheless, remember that tooth extraction may not be your sole recourse. If you’re contending with tooth pain, it’s possible that we can offer swift relief while endeavouring to preserve your tooth. However, early detection plays a pivotal role.

Feel free to apprise us if you’re experiencing any of the subsequent symptoms:
  • Intense tooth pain.
  • Discomfort exacerbated by pressure or chewing.
  • Jaw pain or stiffness.
  • Swollen gums around a tooth or multiple teeth.
  • Manifestations of gum disease, like discolouration, bleeding, or a foul odour.

Finding The Best Treatment Plan For You

Carried out by a dentist or an oral surgeon, a tooth extraction procedure is ordinarily accomplished within a solitary office session. Here, we outline the sequence of steps we follow, commencing with the evaluation to determine if tooth removal is the suitable choice, proceeding to the extraction process itself, and concluding with the post-extraction care:

Looking For Possible Solutions

Before initiating any tooth extraction, our dentists will meticulously analyze your symptoms and engage in a conversation to explore the available options. This meticulous consideration is intended to establish the most advantageous route for both the health of your teeth and your personal well-being.

The Process Of Removing The Tooth

Tailored to the desires of the dentist and patient, a local anesthetic will be applied to numb the designated areas around the tooth earmarked for removal. When needed, sedation can also be considered. Employing a minimally invasive approach, our oral surgeons ensure the gentlest extraction of teeth, with your comfort and prompt recuperation being of the utmost importance.

Feeling Your Best After

After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, which include:

  • How to tend to your mouth during the healing phase.
  • What to expect in terms of recovery.
  • Steps to take if any complications arise.

If you have additional questions or concerns, we’re here to assist and can schedule a follow-up appointment as needed.

The Cost of an Extraction in Tottenham

The cost of tooth extraction can vary based on various factors. When you have a typical insurance plan, a tooth removal typically ranges from approximately $100 to $200 or more, which you might need to cover out of pocket. We’d be delighted to offer you a preliminary quote that you can submit to your insurance provider to determine your expected out-of-pocket expenses. In cases where you don’t have insurance, the cost can range from around $200 to $600 or more per tooth.

Please note that no dental facility can provide an exact quote over the phone since your treatment plan must be tailored to your individual requirements. This determination can only be made after a thorough oral examination. To offer you a better understanding of potential extraction costs and the reasons behind them, there are two general categories that dental extractions fall into:

Simple Tooth Extraction

  • A simple extraction is performed on teeth that are visible within the mouth.
  • These extractions can be conducted by a general dentist and typically involve the use of local anesthesia.
  • The cost estimate for a simple extraction of a readily accessible tooth with no complications is generally lower.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

  • A surgical extraction is a type of dental surgery, typically performed by an oral surgeon in a dental surgery center.
  • This procedure is more complex than a simple tooth extraction and involves removing a tooth that is not easily visible or reachable. This can occur because the tooth has not fully erupted or has broken off at the gum line.
  • A surgical tooth extraction demands meticulous care, significant expertise, and careful consideration, which results in a higher cost compared to a simple extraction.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

While wisdom teeth removal is frequently considered a rite of passage, it’s important to note that extraction is essential only if these teeth become impacted or create disturbances within your jaw and dental structure.

Thanks to advanced dental techniques and modern equipment, tooth extractions are now almost devoid of pain. The procedure’s rapidity and simplicity tend to amaze many patients. While a certain level of discomfort might arise, be reassured that we will furnish you with instructions for aftercare to ensure optimal comfort throughout the swift healing phase.

After about an hour from the procedure, you have the green light to remove the gauze sponges that were inserted in your mouth and partake in a meal. Remember to choose only soft foods for the initial 24 hours. Also, keep away from hot foods and avoid drinking through straws for a number of hours.

Your unique aftercare instructions, personalized to your needs, will be provided during your appointment. Meanwhile, here are some general steps to take after a tooth extraction or dental surgery for a smoother recovery and reduced complications:
Abstain from spitting, mouth rinsing, blowing your nose, using a straw, or smoking within the first 24 hours after the extraction. Avoid touching the extraction site with your finger or tongue. Steer clear of hot foods and drinks. Refrain from taking aspirin to prevent interference with blood clotting. Minimize physical activities and exercise for the time being.

The recovery time for a simple tooth removal typically hovers around 7 to 10 days. However, in more elaborate situations such as surgical tooth extraction or wisdom tooth removal, anticipate a recovery span of approximately 2 weeks. Regardless of the procedure’s intricacy, discomfort during the recovery phase is expected to be minimal.

Unless there are unforeseen complications, a usual tooth extraction is likely to be finished in around 45 minutes or less.

I switched to T. Smiles Dental after my previous office was bought out by a corporation and the service went downhill. I have had both Dr. Singh and Dr. Habib and they are both so lovely and make you feel like you're in good hands. Crystal, the hygienist, is quick, thorough, and very easy to pass the hour appointment with. I think the best part about switching is that I trust the opinions I'm getting and I never feel like I'm being over-sold unnecessary treatments, which is a big deal for me. A well-earned 5 stars!
