Dublin Specialist Dentistry
This is the regular type of extraction that a lot of patients have experienced in the past. The tooth is loosened and removed with a forceps.

The advantage of this extraction type is that healing is quicker.

However this method is not suited to all teeth. There must be adequate sound tooth structure to grip for this type of extraction. This extraction method is not suited to impacted teeth, badly broken down or decayed teeth or those with multiple roots in dense bone.



What is the recovery period?
This depends on the type of extraction, the number of teeth and your own particular healing! A full assessment of this can be made at your consultation. All patients receive a prescription and comprehensive written post-operative instructions following a surgical procedure. Sick certificates can be issued on request.
