Pain-free Dental Surgery Auckland
Our gentle dentists aim to help you keep your teeth for life but sometimes expedient surgical tooth extractions make dental surgery necessary. Teeth that are broken below the gum line, impacted (crowded) or affected by advanced decay or gum disease may need to be extracted to protect your jaw and other teeth.
Early Treatment Can Save Your Teeth
Seeking treatment as soon as possible can prevent unnecessary discomfort and more expensive procedures. Untreated tooth infections will not heal and will likely worsen and spread without proper dental care. Your quick actions can prevent damage to the adjacent teeth and bones, while expanding your options for a tooth replacement. We perform pain free surgical extractions of wisdom teeth and regular teeth that are damaged or decayed.

Our dentists will need to examine your teeth to assess what is causing your discomfort. You can book an examination for toothache or wisdom teeth removal online or contact our offices. Our dental surgery is located at 377 Mt Albert Road, Mt Roskill, Auckland. We welcome all patients.

Surgical Extraction Procedures
Impacted Teeth Extraction Surgery
More involved surgical tooth extraction procedures are necessary when teeth or molars are impacted or broken below the surface. You will likely receive both local and general anaesthetic, making you feel calm and relaxed. The general dentist will cut into your gum with a small incision. They may need to remove bone around your tooth or cut your tooth before it can be extracted. Once the tooth is removed, a blood clot will usually form in the socket. Your dentist will pack it with a gauze pad to stop the bleeding. In some cases, a few stitches may be necessary.
Simple Tooth Extraction Surgery
Removing visible teeth is relatively simple and quick. You will receive a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your tooth so you don’t feel any pain during the procedure. The dentist will then uses special dental instruments to remove it.
Replacing Teeth after Dental Surgery
Restore your Smile with Dental Restorations
A missing tooth can change the appearance of your smile which not only impacts your confidence to smile but generally leads to adverse developments in your oral health over time. The healthy teeth slowly shift to fill the gaps from the missing teeth. These developments affect the integrity of your jawbone, speech, ability to chew food and your bite, causing your other teeth to wear down. Thankfully there are various types of dental restoration you can choose from.
Missing teeth alter your aesthetic appearance and oral function which can lead to a negative social impact that affects your quality of life.
Dental Implants
The most permanent solution involves implant dentistry which can replace one or multiple teeth. These implants fuse with your jawbone and provide the stability of normal teeth.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a more affordable solution that can be used to preserve the alignment of your teeth while filling the gap in your smile permanently.
Dentures
Dental dentures are the most affordable solution, these can be fixed to other teeth to provide stability.
