Tooth Extraction & Wisdom Teeth Removal in Calgary
Safe, gentle tooth extraction and wisdom teeth removal at London Square Dental in NE Calgary. Sedation options available, same-day emergency care, and open 7 days a week for your convenience.
While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are situations where extraction is the best course of action for your overall oral health. At London Square Dental, we perform both simple and surgical extractions with precision and care, using modern techniques and sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Simple Tooth Extractions
A simple extraction is performed on teeth that are visible above the gum line and can be removed without surgery. After numbing the area with local anaesthesia, we use specialized instruments to gently loosen and remove the tooth. Simple extractions are quick, typically taking just 20 to 30 minutes, and recovery is straightforward with minimal downtime.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often emerge in the late teens or early twenties and frequently cause problems due to lack of space. Impacted wisdom teeth can grow at angles, push against adjacent teeth, become partially erupted and trap bacteria, or develop cysts. We use panoramic X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend removal when they pose a risk to your oral health.
Surgical Extractions
Surgical extractions are necessary when a tooth is impacted (trapped beneath the gum line), broken at the gum level, or has curved or complex roots. The procedure involves making a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth, and in some cases, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal. Sedation options are available to keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout.
Recovery & Replacement Options
We provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. For the first 24 to 48 hours, rest, apply cold compresses, and eat soft foods. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. If a non-wisdom tooth was extracted, we discuss replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
