You may require a tooth extraction if your tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or impacted. Our experienced dentists at A2Z Dental in Rockhampton will assess the situation and provide guidance on the best course of treatment.
The cost of a tooth extraction can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, location, and type of tooth. At A2Z Dental in Rockhampton, our prices are competitive and transparent, and we'll provide you with a detailed quote before proceeding.
During a tooth extraction, our dentist will administer local anaesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort. The procedure typically takes around 30-60 minutes to complete, depending on the complexity of the case.
Recovery time after a tooth extraction can vary depending on individual factors, but most people experience some discomfort and swelling for 24-48 hours. Our dentist will provide you with specific instructions on post-extraction care to ensure a smooth recovery.
After a tooth extraction, our dentist may prescribe pain relief medication or recommend over-the-counter options such as paracetamol. We'll discuss the best course of pain management with you during your consultation.
For the first few days after a tooth extraction, it's recommended to stick to soft foods and avoid hot or cold temperatures. Our dentist will provide you with specific dietary instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications.
As with any dental procedure, there are some potential risks associated with tooth extractions, such as dry socket or infection. Our experienced dentists at A2Z Dental in Rockhampton take every precaution to minimise these risks and ensure your safety.
If you require additional treatment following a tooth extraction, we'll work with you to determine the best course of action. In some cases, a refund may be possible, but this will depend on individual circumstances and our practice's policies.
