Extractions
Sometimes when a tooth suffers significant damage, or risks damaging other teeth or your gums, it may need to be extracted, if other treatments are not possible. We only attempt to extract a tooth as a last resort, this depends on the situation and also the extent of the damage. Sometimes there may be no other option but for a tooth or multiple teeth to be extracted.
​
Wisdom teeth, are the back four teeth in each corner of your mouth, and are usually the last of your teeth to grow. Wisdom teeth sometimes emerge through the gums at an angle due to the lack of space available in a person’s mouth. This may cause pain, swelling and/or infection and will need to be removed.
​
The Tooth Extraction Procedure
When removing a tooth, our normal procedure is to use a local anaesthetic - this will numb you mouth so that you will not feel any pain during treatment but will be awake. The duration of appointment will depend on the complexity of the extraction and will be advised prior to the start of the procedure.
​
It is possible for more than one tooth to be removed in each appointment and the dentist will advise you on the best strategy.
Fillings
Fillings can help repair damaged, broken, chipped and decayed teeth ensuring that they last longer. Like the name suggests, it is all about filling in those gaps that can arise in your teeth. They can be used to plug large holes in broken teeth or even fix small chips in a front tooth.
In private practice, silver fillings have been replaced by more natural tooth-coloured fillings. At Hansfiled Medical and Dental Centre we match the white fillings to your teeth colour to produce a natural result.
