Tooth Extractions in Ashburton
Nobody likes the idea of losing a tooth, but sometimes extraction is the best method for your overall oral health. Facing an extraction can feel daunting, so our experienced team at Aesthetic Mee Dental Surgery takes a gentle, patient-centered approach to keep the process as stress-free as possible. If you’re dealing with infection, severe decay, or stubborn toothaches that won’t quit, we’re here to help you find relief.
A Patient’s First Step: Thorough Assessment
We carefully assess every tooth before recommending extraction. If a tooth can be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal therapy, we’ll discuss those options first. However, when a tooth is broken beyond repair, deeply infected, or still causing pain after other services, removal may be the best path forward.
Same-Day Procedures When Possible
When you come to us with a painful tooth or dental emergency, we may be able to perform the extraction during the same appointment, as our schedule allows. You won’t need any special preparation; just arrive and let us take care of the rest.
We start with local anaesthetic and only proceed once you’re completely numb. Throughout the visit, we’ll address your concerns, answer questions, and support you every step of the way.
Managing Care After Removal
After the extraction, we make sure any bleeding is under control before you leave. Some patients experience mild discomfort once the anaesthetic wears off. We provide clear post-operative instructions and, if necessary, prescribe antibiotics or pain relief to support a smooth recovery.
If you’re nervous, we offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and green whistle (methoxyflurane), to help you relax. We’re also open late and on weekends, so you can schedule care at a time that suits you.
