Types of Tooth Extraction
Simple Extractions
Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth. These procedures are typically quick and involve minimal discomfort. Our skilled dentists use gentle techniques to ensure a smooth process.
Surgical Extractions
Surgical extractions are necessary for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth or teeth broken below the gum line. At Shine Family Dental Surgery, we employ advanced methods to minimise discomfort and promote faster healing.

Tooth extraction might be necessary if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Severe dental decay
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or infection
- Overcrowding that affects your bite or orthodontic treatment
- Oral infections that do not respond to other treatments

Your Questions Answered
We use effective anaesthesia techniques that are carefully administered to achieve minimal discomfort both during and after your procedure. We understand that dental anxiety is common, and our team is dedicated to creating a soothing and stress-free environment, making your experience as pleasant as possible. From the moment you step into our surgery, you can expect a calm and reassuring atmosphere designed to put you at ease.
Most patients experience a recovery period of about one week, during which they can typically resume their normal daily activities. However, it’s important to note that complete tissue healing and full restoration of function can take a little longer. This time varies from person to person, depending on the complexity of the extraction and adherence to post-operative care instructions.
Factors such as age, overall health, immune system efficiency, and the presence of any pre-existing conditions can all influence the precise duration required for a full recovery.
Following a tooth extraction, a carefully managed diet is crucial for promoting healing, minimising discomfort, and preventing complications. Stick to soft foods like yoghurt and mashed potatoes initially, gradually reintroducing solid foods as healing progresses.
While some discomfort and minor bleeding are normal after a tooth extraction, we urge you to contact us immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms that go beyond normal expectations. Specifically, please reach out to us if you notice:
- Persistent or heavy bleeding: If bleeding continues for an extended period, significantly beyond what was explained as normal, or if it’s profuse and difficult to control, please call us.
- Severe or worsening pain: While some pain is to be expected, if you experience intense pain that isn’t managed by prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication, or if your pain significantly worsens over time, this is a cause for concern.
- Swelling that increases or spreads: Minor swelling is common, but if the swelling becomes excessive, is accompanied by difficulty swallowing or breathing, or spreads rapidly, it requires immediate attention.
- Fever or chills: These symptoms could indicate an infection and should be reported to us right away.
Numbness that persists beyond the expected duration: If an area remains numb long after the local anesthetic should have worn off, please contact us. - Any allergic reactions: If you experience hives, rash, itching, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention and inform us as soon as possible.
We are here to help and want to ensure your recovery is as smooth and comfortable as possible. Do not hesitate to call our office at the first sign of any concerning symptoms. Our team is ready to provide guidance and, if necessary, schedule an urgent appointment to address your concerns.
