Tooth & Wisdom Teeth Extraction in NE Calgary

Sometimes, a tooth needs to be removed to keep your mouth healthy. Taking out a problem tooth can stop issues like severe decay, infection, or an impacted wisdom tooth. At London Square Dental, we make tooth extraction in Calgary simple and comfortable, so you get the care you need with less pain.

Do You Need a Tooth Extraction?

We recommend tooth extractions when a tooth is too damaged or problematic to save. Common reasons include:

Severe decay—when a cavity reaches deep into the tooth and a filling or root canal isn’t enough.
Infection or abscess—If bacteria spread inside the tooth, leading to swelling and pain.
Impacted wisdom teeth—when wisdom teeth don’t have enough space to grow properly.
Overcrowding—Sometimes, teeth need to be removed for orthodontic treatment.
Trauma or fracture—when a tooth is cracked beyond repair.

Ignoring these issues can lead to severe pain, infections, and more complex dental problems.

Types of Tooth Extractions

Simple Tooth Extraction—Quick & Painless Removal

A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is above the gum line. The process involves:

Applying local anesthesia to numb the area.
Use special instruments to loosen and remove the tooth.
Placing gauze to control bleeding and aid healing.

Most simple extractions heal quickly, with mild discomfort lasting a few days.

Surgical Tooth Extraction—For Impacted or Broken Teeth & Wisdom Teeth

Surgical extractions are needed for impacted, broken, or complex cases, including wisdom teeth. The procedure may involve:

IV sedation or general anesthesia for a painless experience.
Making a small incision in the gum to access the tooth.
Removing the tooth in pieces if necessary.
Sutures (stitches) to close the area and promote healing.

Recovery takes a little longer than a simple extraction, but following aftercare instructions will help ensure smooth healing.

What to Expect During a Tooth/Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Our team makes sure you’re comfortable at every step. Here’s what happens:

Consultation & Exam: We assess the tooth/wisdom tooth with an X-ray and discuss the best approach.
Sedation & Numbing: Depending on the complexity, we offer local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia.
Tooth/Wisdom Tooth Removal: The dentist carefully removes the tooth/wisdom tooth using advanced techniques.

Aftercare & Healing: What You Should Know

Following the right aftercare steps will help you recover faster and avoid complications like dry sockets. Here’s what to do:

Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding.
Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt and soup for a few days.
Avoid smoking, using a straw, or spitting to prevent dry sockets.
Take prescribed pain relievers if needed.

Most people feel better within a few days, but full healing can take 1-2 weeks. Contact us if you experience severe pain, prolonged bleeding, or signs of infection.

Testimonials

I recently visited London Dental Clinic for a dental scaling procedure, and I am extremely impressed with the level of care and professionalism I experienced. The hygienist named Priya was thorough and gentle, making the entire process as comfortable as possible. They took the time to explain each step of the procedure and addressed all my questions with patience and expertise. My teeth feel incredibly clean and refreshed, and the results are outstanding.

Had a very good experience with them. The dental hygienist was super nice and was even answering my questions regarding my dental hygiene career. The receptionist to managers were all so friendly and they were so accommodating with me even tho I was late to my appointment.
