Dental Extractions
Occasionally, dental issues can arise that threaten your entire smile unless dealt with quickly. At NovaCure Dentistry, we always focus on preserving natural teeth with exceptional preventive treatment and replacing damaged teeth. But when a tooth becomes non-salvageable, dental extractions are necessary. A tooth may be extracted in cases of advanced decay, fracture, or when impacted (partially erupted). Wisdom teeth are often impacted, which frequently leads to painful infections, damage to the surrounding teeth, and misalignment. A local anaesthetic is injected to numb the tooth and gums around it.

It may take up to 14 days for an extracted socket to heal.

Treatment modalities broadly include certain home remedies, exercises, and non-surgical and surgical therapies.
