Dental Extractions
Safe, gentle removal of damaged or infected teeth with your comfort in mind.
A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth when it is damaged, infected, or cannot be restored.At Prahran Family Dental, we always aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible and only recommend extraction when necessary.
What is a Dental Extraction?
It is the process of removing a tooth or its fragment from the mouth.
Dental extraction is needed when a tooth is infected, heavily decayed, destroyed or broken from trauma.
Even though dental extraction might be one of the favoured treatment options for a toothache for many people, dentists at Prahran Family Dental try to avoid extractions unless absolutely necessary.
We encourage regular dental check-ups to detect dental problems early and avoid tooth extractions.
Whenever a dental extraction is needed, dentists at Prahran Family Dental aim to perform it as smoothly and painlessly as possible so the experience is more comfortable for you
