Tooth Extraction in Auckland
A Tooth Extraction is the process of completely removing your tooth from its socket. There are two types of Tooth Extraction Treatment in Auckland that you can avail with QualityCare Dental.
This procedure takes place when the tooth can be seen in the mouth. During a simple extraction, the dentist loosens the tooth with an instrument called an elevator. Then the dentist uses forceps to remove the tooth.
This procedure is more complex and is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not erupted in the mouth. In this case, the oral surgeon will make a small incision into your gum to surgically remove the broken tooth or impacted wisdom tooth.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth usually appear at the back of your mouth during your late-teens or early twenties. Usually there is no space for the wisdom teeth to erupt which can cause issues and in such cases Wisdom Teeth Removal in Auckland may be required.
Why don’t my wisdom teeth fit My Mouth?
- There are a few theories as to why wisdom teeth don’t fit many people’s mouths. Some experts think genetics may play a part – for example you may have inherited one parent’s small jaw, and another parent’s large teeth.
- Another theory suggests the size of our mouths have decreased over the centuries, because our diet changed, and our jaws don’t need to be as large or as strong as they were in prehistoric times.
Your wisdom teeth only need to be removed if they cause problems. For example:
- They are hard to clean due to which they are more likely to have tooth decay, gu, disease, and frequent infections.
- Cysts and tumours can develop in tissues around impacted wisdom teeth.
- If your wisdom teeth are unable to erupt, they may cause pressure and damage or crowd neighbouring teeth.
If my wisdom teeth need removing, who will do it?
Straightforward removal of wisdom teeth may be done in your own dentist’s surgery. If your case is more complex, your dentist may decide to refer you to an oral surgeon.
In most cases, tooth extraction can easily be done if your tooth is broken, damaged, decayed or loose due to various reasons. However, at times the damage on your tooth goes beyond the repair boundary and that is when the need for extraction arises.Â
Some of the possible reasons to get your Tooth Extraction Treatment in Auckland are:Â
- Severe decay or injury to the tooth.
- Decay or infection has already got too deep into the roots.
- Baby teeth didn’t fall on time and there is no space for the permanent teeth to come in.
- Running short of space for all teeth in your mouth.
- Wisdom teeth or the third molars would require extraction either before or after they pop out.
At QualityCare Dental we provide services starting from normal tooth extraction to Wisdom Teeth Removal in Auckland. The procedure at our dental clinic begins with an X-rays and proper examination to conclude whether it will be a surgical extraction or not.

Surgical removal of wisdom teeth can cause more discomfort than routine extractions.
You may experience:
- Some swelling and minor bleeding
- Difficulty in fully opening your mouth

All of these symptoms are temporary, and in most cases your mouth will be feeling normal a week after your surgery.
