If a tooth is badly decayed, broken, infected, or causing pain that won’t go away, sometimes removing it is the best option. At Parabanks Dental, we provide gentle Tooth Extractions Salisbury patients can rely on — with honest advice, clear pricing, and care that puts your comfort first.
You don’t have to face the decision alone. We’ll examine the tooth, take any X‑rays we need, and walk you through your options in plain language. If extraction is the right choice, we’ll explain exactly what happens, what it costs, and what to expect afterwards before any treatment begins.
Most teeth can be saved with treatment such as a filling, root canal, or crown. But there are times when removing a tooth is the safest and most sensible choice.
You may need a tooth extraction if:
We will only recommend extraction when other options aren’t suitable for your situation, and we’ll always explain why.
At Parabanks Dental, most extractions can be carried out at our Salisbury clinic without the need for a specialist referral.
A simple extraction is used when a tooth is fully visible above the gum and can be removed with standard instruments. We numb the area thoroughly with local anaesthetic, gently loosen the tooth, and remove it as quickly and comfortably as possible.
You should feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Most simple extractions take 20 to 30 minutes, including the time to numb the area.
A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is broken at or below the gum line, hasn’t fully erupted, or has roots that are difficult to access. Your dentist may need to make a small incision in the gum and, in some cases, remove a small amount of bone or section the tooth to remove it safely.
Surgical extractions take longer and usually involve a few stitches afterwards. They are still done under local anaesthetic in most cases.
Wisdom teeth often cause problems because there isn’t enough room for them to come through cleanly. They may be impacted under the gum, partly erupted, or pushing against the tooth in front.
We can take X‑rays to see exactly how each wisdom tooth sits, then talk you through the options — which may include monitoring, cleaning, or extraction. Some wisdom teeth can be removed in our clinic; more complex cases may be referred to an oral surgeon, and we’ll guide you through that process.
In some cases children need a baby tooth removed because it hasn’t fallen out on time, is severely decayed, or is blocking an adult tooth. Eligible children may have these treatments bulk‑billed under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
Tooth extraction at Parabanks Dental follows a clear, step‑by‑step process so you always know what’s happening next.
Looking after the extraction site in the first few days is the single biggest factor in healing well. We’ll give you a printed aftercare sheet on the day, but the key points are:
Some swelling, mild bleeding, and discomfort are normal in the first day or two and usually settle with simple pain relief. Call us if you notice heavy bleeding that won’t stop, severe pain that gets worse after the third day, or signs of infection such as fever or spreading swelling.
Patients across Salisbury choose Parabanks Dental for tooth extractions because:
We look after extraction patients from Salisbury, Salisbury North, Elizabeth Grove, Elizabeth Vale, Salisbury Plain, Salisbury Park, Brahma Lodge, Salisbury Downs, Paralowie, Edinburgh, and surrounding suburbs.
We use local anaesthetic to fully numb the area before we begin, so you should feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Some mild soreness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days with simple pain relief. If you're nervous, please tell us — we can take extra time to talk you through what's happening at each step.
Most people feel comfortable within three to five days, though full healing of the gum takes one to two weeks. Healing of the bone underneath continues for several weeks beyond that. We'll give you written aftercare instructions and arrange any review visits needed if you've had a more complex extraction.
It depends which tooth is removed. Wisdom teeth and some baby teeth don't need replacing. Other missing teeth can affect chewing, your bite, and how nearby teeth sit over time. If a replacement is recommended, we'll talk you through your options — including dental implants, bridges, and dentures — with honest costs and timing for each.
Eligible children can have dental care including extractions bulk‑billed under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). We'll check your child's eligibility before the appointment and explain what's covered. Read more about CDBS at our clinic.
