Teeth Extractions in New Westminster
Teeth Extractions
There are times when a tooth can’t be saved. It might be too damaged, infected, or simply crowding other teeth. When that happens, removing it can help protect the rest of your mouth and stop ongoing pain.
Before anything starts, we take an X-ray and talk about what’s happening. You’ll know why the extraction is needed, what the steps are, and how to plan for healing. Local freezing keeps you comfortable through the whole process. You may feel some pressure, but you shouldn’t feel pain.
Once the tooth is removed, we place gauze to control any bleeding and go over how to care for the area at home. You’ll leave with clear instructions — how to clean, what to eat, and when to return for a follow-up. Most people feel fine within a few days.
If you’re missing a tooth, we can talk about options for replacement, like implants or bridges, once the area has healed. The goal is always to keep your bite healthy and your smile balanced.
Extractions can sound stressful, but they’re often the first step toward better comfort and long-term stability. We make sure you understand what’s happening at every stage and leave feeling informed, not rushed.
Patients across New Westminster visit us for extractions that are calm, straightforward, and focused on recovery.
