NE Calgary Tooth Extractions

Your Trusted Partner for Tooth Extractions in NE Calgary

At Sunridge Family Dental, we always aim to help you keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. However, there are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest choice for your smile and overall oral well-being. When a tooth extraction is necessary, you can count on our dedicated team to make the process as smooth and gentle as possible.

We understand that the idea of having a tooth removed can feel intimidating. We are here to answer any questions or concerns you may have, ensuring you feel comfortable every step of the way.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

There are several reasons why a tooth might need to be removed, including:

• Severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired
• Advanced gum disease affecting the tooth’s support structure
• Overcrowding, often before orthodontic treatment
• Infection or abscess that has not responded to other treatments
• Fractured teeth below the gumline

In any of these cases, removing the tooth can help protect your surrounding teeth, gums, and bone, supporting a healthier smile moving forward.

What to Expect During the Tooth Extraction Process

At Sunridge Family Dental, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. We begin with a personalized evaluation, including a thorough exam and digital X-rays to assess the tooth, roots, and surrounding structures. We also review your medical history and discuss any concerns or anxieties you may have.

For the extraction, we use local anaesthesia to numb the area and keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Once numb, we carefully and gently remove the tooth while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Our team works efficiently to ensure the process is quick and minimally invasive.

After the extraction, we will provide clear instructions on how to care for the area, including pain management tips and what to expect as you heal.
