Gentle Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal in South Melbourne

Bespoke Extraction Care: Simple, Surgical, and Wisdom Tooth Solutions

At Dental@Kingsway, Dr. Shivani Roy and our clinical team focus on preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when severe decay, shifting structural crowding, or advanced periodontal disease puts your oral health at risk, a gentle therapeutic tooth extraction becomes necessary. We manage all extraction categories with absolute diagnostic precision:

  • Simple Extractions: Performed on visible teeth using local anaesthetics to ensure a completely numb, pain-free field. The tooth is gently lifted with minimal pressure.

  • Surgical Extractions: Utilised for teeth that have broken off at the gum line or remain partially submerged beneath the soft tissue.

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal: Targeted care for impacted third molars. Early removal prevents alignment shifts, protects adjacent molar roots, and stops chronic gum infections.”

FAQ

What should I do to prevent a dry socket after a tooth extraction?

A dry socket occurs if the protective blood clot is dislodged from the extraction site. To prevent this, strictly avoid using straws, smoking, spitting forcefully, or rinsing vigorously for the first 24 to 48 hours. Eat soft foods, stay hydrated, and follow our tailored post-care rinsing protocols starting on day two.

How long does it take to recover from a wisdom tooth extraction?

Initial soft tissue healing typically takes 3 to 5 days, while complete gum and bone remodeling requires a few weeks. Most patients return to their routine daily activities within 48 hours. Minor swelling and jaw stiffness can be easily managed using cold compresses and prescribed anti-inflammatory care.

Can a tooth be replaced immediately after an extraction?

Yes, depending on your individual bone health and oral structure. Dr. Shivani Roy can plan for a same-day tooth replacement using an immediate dental bridge or a temporary partial prosthetic. For permanent solutions like dental implants, a brief healing window is generally recommended to secure a strong structural foundation.
