Have you had a root canal or crown and still suffer tooth pain? Sometimes, teeth can become so severely damaged that they cannot be helped or restored.

Here at Mint Dental, we do everything we can to ensure tooth extraction is a last resort for permanent teeth, but in some cases, it might just be unavoidable.

But don’t worry—if you have to lose a tooth in the visible portion of your smile, we have dental implant specialists who can replace any teeth we have to pull, so you won’t have to worry about gaps ever being a problem.

Why a tooth extraction might be necessary

At Mint, our primary aim is to preserve your teeth. However, in certain situations, our general dentists, periodontists, or oral surgeons may need to perform tooth extractions to maintain the overall integrity and stability of your oral health.

Before pulling a tooth, we will perform all the necessary assessments to check your teeth, gums, and mouth and develop a treatment plan to preserve them best. However, when tooth extractions cannot be avoided, we go the extra mile to ensure the procedure is as painless as possible.

Here at Mint, our skilled and experienced specialist dentists are on hand to perform tooth extractions for several reasons, which include:

Irreparable tooth damage or decay

When tooth decay reaches the tooth’s centre (pulp), bacteria are produced, causing an infection. Root canals are usually used to help treat this infection. However, depending on the severity of the infection, a dental surgeon might recommend extraction to prevent its spread.

At Mint Dental, our expert dentists will examine the affected area and tooth and can prescribe the best dental solution moving forward. Whether it’s a root canal or an extraction, with Mint, you can trust that we will deliver the safest, most comfortable, pain-free procedure that best preserves your oral condition.

Severe periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums, bone, ligaments and other structures surrounding the teeth. In its early days, periodontal disease takes the form of gingivitis, solely an infection of the gums. However, the longer this goes untreated and ignored, the more severe your periodontal disease will develop and spread.

Mint Dental provides periodontal treatments delivered by gum experts. These treatments can restore the health of your teeth and gums and support tooth structure. We also offer advanced periodontal therapy, which can help prevent further dental issues and alleviate the symptoms of gum disease.

In its most aggressive form, periodontal disease can cause teeth to loosen, in which case tooth extraction might be necessary.

That said, tooth extraction will not cure gum disease. However, we can begin to treat the condition more precisely and work on replacing the teeth with dental implants to ensure the vital bone structure is not lost.

Helping impacted teeth

When a tooth is impacted, it is blocked from coming out, which is often the case with wisdom teeth.

In such cases, our inredible dentist, Dr Francesca Pantanali, might recommend removing the impacted tooth to prevent it from damaging existing teeth. By pulling a tooth this way, we also help minimise the risk of infection or overcrowding.

However, before making this recommendation, we will thoroughly examine the affected area because we are committed to delivering exceptional treatments and patient care.

Eliminate overcrowding

Tooth extraction for one or several teeth is often necessary in overcrowding, class II malocclusion cases.

Often, when patients wish to undergo orthodontic treatment but there is not enough room for the teeth to shift and realign correctly, it might be necessary to remove teeth to make room.

Our dentist will examine how crowded your teeth are and accurately predict the amount of room required to give your set of teeth better alignment.

Dental trauma or accidents

When sporting accidents or traumas like car collisions occur, we prioritise preserving the teeth, whether with bonding, crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants. However, tooth extraction might be required, and other restorative methods might be prescribed in cases where the dental issue is beyond hope.

At Mint Dental, we offer crowns to prevent tooth loss, and our implant specialists also place dental implants that replicate natural teeth.

We can perform two types of tooth extractions

1. Simple extractions: These are usually performed on teeth in the visible portion of the smile under local anaesthetic.
2. Surgical extractions: Often performed when teeth cannot be easily accessed or have not fully erupted or broken under the gumline. Surgical extractions typically are performed under general anaesthetic.

Tooth extraction is the last possible consideration as a dental solution – consult with our specialists to understand why you might need one, or perhaps if there’s anything we can do to save your smile.
