Tooth Extractions

Extractions are often considered the last resort. Dr Adrian Longworth from Safety Bay Dental Centre is quite experienced, with 40 years in the profession.

Dramatic tooth extractions are definitely a thing to be avoided. Our dentists have a good feel as to whether a tooth will come out easily or not.

So if our dentist tells you that you would be better to seek a specialist dedicated to this type of work, you should know that they are saying so for your benefit. If the extraction is likely to be straight forward we will take it out for you, if that is the agreed best treatment for you.

In extreme pain emergency, we may feel we need to take your tooth no matter how concerned we are about complexity. Each case is different so trust our dentists will discuss the pros and cons and advise you as to the most sensible path when you present for a consult or emergency assessment.
