Dental Extractions at Robina Quays Dental Care, Gold Coast
Understanding the Need for Tooth Extractions
Dental extractions, the process of removing a tooth from its socket, are sometimes necessary for various reasons. At Robina Quays Dental Care, we perform extractions with precision and care, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients.


Why Extractions Are Needed
- Severe Decay: When a tooth is too decayed to be repaired.
- Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can lead to tooth looseness, necessitating extraction.
- Dental Crowding: To create space for orthodontic treatment.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Removal of wisdom teeth that are not properly erupted or aligned.
- Dental Trauma: Severely damaged teeth from injury may require extraction.

The Process of Dental Extractions
- Consultation: A thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the need for extraction.
- Painless Procedure: We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience.
- Extraction: The tooth is carefully and gently removed.
- Aftercare: Detailed instructions are provided to ensure a smooth recovery.

Pros and Cons of Tooth Extraction
Pros:
- Pain Relief: Removes the source of pain and discomfort.
