Experience a Stress-free and Pain Free Tooth Extraction.
Your teeth can become damaged because of poor oral hygiene, improper diet, or an accident. When a tooth is damaged, bacteria can enter the soft tissue and cause an infection.
That’s why seeing a dentist at the first sign of any dental problem is essential. Without dental treatment, an infection can spread to other teeth and even to your jaw bone. When treatment is delayed, or the damage is too severe, a filling or root canal treatment may not be sufficient to restore your teeth.
In this case, extraction is the most appropriate option to prevent further damage and keep your mouth healthy. The prospect of tooth extraction can be frightening, but your experienced dentists at AP Dental are equipped to handle any extraction procedure, both simple and complex. We want you to feel confident and comfortable during your tooth extraction procedure, so we offer various sedation options so you have a positive experience. Our team will work with you every step of the way to make you feel comfortable and informed.
Dental Problems You Need a Tooth Extraction
Treatment For
Severe Toothache
Severe toothaches can be excruciating and make eating, drinking, and sleeping difficult. Most toothaches are caused by other dental problems, such as tooth decay, dental abscess, and tooth fracture, which require professional intervention.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess occurs when pus accumulates in the teeth or gums due to an infection. It is extremely painful and, without treatment, can cause serious health complications.
Bad Breath
Bad breath, also called halitosis, can be caused by many things, including poor oral hygiene, plaque and tartar build-up, or tooth decay. Sometimes, it may be a sign of an underlying health condition.
Gum Disease
Gum disease is a serious infection that can destroy the soft tissue and the bone that supports your teeth. Other conditions are also associated with it, such as respiratory illness, coronary artery disease, and diabetes-related problems with controlling blood sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tooth Extractions
Am I eligible to undergo tooth extractions?
It is always our goal at AP Dental to save your natural teeth whenever possible. However, there are times when other restorative services are insufficient when the tooth is severely damaged. If this is the case, we may recommend a tooth extraction. Eligibility for tooth extraction depends on a few factors, such as the damage’s extent, the tooth’s location, and whether there are any underlying health conditions. Please book an appointment at AP Dental so our friendly team can evaluate your case and make a recommendation based on what is most suitable for your long-term oral health.
Is tooth extraction painful?
The good news is that some sedation options available at AP Dental can help make your tooth extraction experience more comfortable. Intravenous (IV) sedation and inhalation sedation using nitrous oxide are available to make the dental procedure as pain-free as possible. You can work with your dental professional to choose the right sedation option for you for a comfortable experience.
What are the reasons why my teeth may need to be extracted?
At AP Dental, we consider every possible option before resorting to extraction. However, there are times when the extraction is the most appropriate course of action:
- Severely decayed or damaged teeth with not enough healthy tooth structure intact to support a dental restoration
- The tooth has become loose because of severe gum disease
- An infection that has spread to the surrounding bone
- An impacted tooth that may potentially cause or is causing other dental problems
- If your mouth doesn’t have enough space for all your teeth (also done to prepare for orthodontic treatment)
What should I expect after tooth extraction?
You may feel drowsy immediately following your procedure, but this is to be expected. When the anaesthesia wears off, it is normal to feel some pain. You may also experience some residual bleeding, swelling, and bruising around the extraction site. These symptoms are usually the most severe during the first 24 hours after the procedure. To help with pain and swelling, apply a cold compress to the area for 20 minutes at a time. It is also important to keep the extraction site clean by gently rinsing with warm water and avoiding hard foods for the first few days. With proper care, you will be on your way to full recovery. And once you’re ready for it, we would be happy to help you choose the most suitable tooth replacement option.
How much does tooth extraction cost?
Simple extractions start at $285 per tooth, and if the tooth has to be sectioned, the cost starts at $350. Surgical extractions start at $375; if bone removal or tooth division is also necessary, the cost starts at $440. Appointments at AP Dental are recommended so that we can assess your needs and provide you with an accurate quote.
