Extractions
For problematic teeth that have to be removed
Our dentists make every effort to preserve your natural teeth. Even so, extractions are somtimes necessary.
When damage or decay has made the tooth unsalvageable or you have advanced gum disease, an extraction may be your best option to keep the rest of your teeth healthy.
Depending on which tooth is removed, you can consider a replacement in the form of a dental implant, bridge or denture. Ask our dentist for the best option for your teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
If problematic, it may become necessary for your wisdom teeth to be removed. The common reasons for removal include recurring gum infections caused by partially erupted wisdom teeth, difficulty in cleaning, pain and potential damage to adjacent healthy molars.
During your oral exam, we can assess the condition of your wisdom teeth and if needed we will refer you for a full-mouth OPG x-ray to further investigate the best method for removal.
Dr Pablo Regueiro is our resident wisdom teeth removal dentist. He has extensive experience with wisdom teeth and surgical removals from his work in the New Zealand Defence Force. He is also a lecturer and clinical supervisor at the University of Queensland, specialising in Oral Surgery.
