Tooth extraction may sound daunting, but with modern dental techniques, it is a quick and painless procedure. At Brite Dental, we provide gentle and professional tooth extractions in Paisley, Bridge of Weir, Clarkston, and Edinburgh, ensuring a comfortable experience for our patients.

Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?

A dentist may recommend removing a tooth for several reasons, including:

• Severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired
• Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
• Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
• Broken or damaged teeth that cannot be restored

The Tooth Extraction Process

1. Consultation & Assessment

Your dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the best extraction method.

2. Local Anaesthesia

A numbing agent is applied to ensure a pain-free procedure.

3. Tooth Removal

The tooth is gently loosened and removed. For impacted or broken teeth, a surgical extraction may be necessary.

4. Aftercare & Healing

Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Recovery Tips After Tooth Extraction

• Bite down on gauze to help control bleeding.
• Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw to prevent dry socket.
• Stick to soft foods for the first few days.
• Keep the area clean but avoid rinsing vigorously for the first 24 hours.

Tooth Replacement Options

If your extracted tooth needs replacing, we offer dental implants, bridges, and dentures to restore your smile and function.
