Extractions in Pimpama, QLD

Sometimes saving a tooth is not the best option. Severe decay, stubborn baby teeth or painful wisdom teeth can threaten overall oral health and daily comfort. At Dental In Focus Pimpama, we approach every tooth extraction in Pimpama with kindness and clear communication so families feel supported from first consult to final check-up.

When Is Extraction Recommended?

• Extensive decay that has weakened the tooth beyond repair
• Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth and infection risk
• Orthodontic needs where overcrowding blocks proper alignment
• Impacted wisdom teeth trapped in bone or pushing on nearby molars
• Fractures below the gumline that crowns or root canals cannot fix

Our dentists use low-dose x-rays to assess tooth roots, nerves and sinus positions, ensuring each removal plan is safe and precise.

Our Approach to Comfortable Extractions 

We know ‘getting a tooth out’ sounds daunting, especially for kids and teens. Each visit begins with a relaxed chat explaining why extraction is needed and what to expect. Local anaesthetic fully numbs the area, while optional nitrous oxide creates a calm, floaty feeling within minutes and wears off quickly so you can drive home or head back to school.

Our compassionate, gentle dentists are highly skilled in tooth extractions. Here's what one can expect during the process:

• Numbing and reassurance — We check that you are completely comfortable before starting.
• Gentle loosening — Special instruments ease the tooth from its socket with minimal pressure.
• Clean site — The area is rinsed and inspected for smooth bone edges.
• Protective dressing — Gauze helps a clot form, beginning the natural healing cycle.
• After-care instructions — You receive written tips and an emergency number for peace of mind.

Simple extractions usually take less than 20 minutes. Complex wisdom-tooth surgery may need more time and small stitches that dissolve on their own.

Caring for the Extraction Site at Home

• Bite on gauze for 30–45 minutes until bleeding stops.
• Avoid rinsing, spitting or drinking through straws for 24 hours so the clot stays put.
• Eat soft foods such as soup, yoghurt and scrambled eggs for the first day.
• Brush gently around the area and use warm saltwater rinses after meals from day two.
• Apply a cold pack to the cheek in 10-minute intervals to limit swelling.

Most people return to normal routines the next morning, though avoid heavy exercise for 48 hours. Please call us if pain or swelling increases after the third day.

Missing teeth do not have to stay missing. We discuss replacement options like dental implants, bridges or dentures before extraction so you can choose the best timeline for your health, lifestyle and budget.
