Dental Extractions at Viva Dental Orangeville
Dental Extractions in Orangeville
People experiencing tooth pain may require tooth extractions. Signs like severe tooth sensitivity, a toothache, painful swelling, the presence of pus, or loose teeth could signal the need for an urgent tooth removal. Often, this procedure provides relief from the patient’s discomfort. If teeth are severely damaged and can’t be saved, extraction might be necessary. This preventive step aims to reduce the risk of an infection that could lead to serious health problems.
Additionally, individuals undergoing orthodontic treatments like braces may find tooth extraction necessary to make room for the expected repositioning of their teeth.
How long does treatment take?
The time it takes for treatments can vary from one patient to another because everyone reacts differently to the numbing process. However, most extractions are usually quick and done right in the dental office.
Depending on your particular oral health situation, some extra precautions might be needed before a tooth can be safely removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dental extraction?
A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth that can’t be saved (or shouldn’t be kept). Extractions are commonly done for severe decay, infection, gum disease, broken teeth, or overcrowding before orthodontics.When do you need a tooth extraction instead of a filling or root canal?
An extraction may be recommended if a tooth is too damaged to restore, has a deep crack, advanced infection, significant bone loss, or repeated treatment failure. Your dentist will explain whether a root canal + crown is still possible before recommending removal.Does a tooth extraction hurt?
During the procedure, the area is numbed (freezing), so you should feel pressure but not sharp pain. Some soreness afterward is normal and is usually managed with aftercare and appropriate pain relief.What’s the difference between a simple extraction and a surgical extraction?
A simple extraction is used when the tooth is visible and easy to remove. A surgical extraction may be needed if the tooth is broken at the gumline, impacted, or difficult to access—often requiring a small incision.How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most people feel noticeably better in a few days, but full healing takes longer. Recovery depends on the tooth, how difficult the extraction was, and your overall health. Following instructions helps reduce complications.What can I eat after a dental extraction?
Stick to soft foods at first—yogurt, smoothies (no straw), eggs, soup (not too hot), mashed foods. Avoid crunchy, spicy, or hard foods and avoid chewing on the extraction side until your dentist says it’s okay.What is dry socket and how do I avoid it?
Dry socket happens when the blood clot dislodges too early, exposing bone and causing significant pain. To lower risk: avoid smoking/vaping, don’t use straws, avoid vigorous rinsing for the first day, and follow all post-op instructions.Do I need antibiotics after an extraction?
Not always. Antibiotics are typically reserved for certain infections or higher-risk cases. Your dentist will decide based on swelling, fever, drainage, immune status, and the type of extraction.How much does a tooth extraction cost in Canada, and is it covered by insurance?
Cost varies by province, whether it’s simple or surgical, and whether sedation is needed. Many dental plans cover extractions under basic or surgical services, but coverage depends on your plan’s limits and co-pay.What are my options to replace a missing tooth after extraction?
Common options include a dental implant, dental bridge, or a partial denture. Replacing missing teeth can help prevent shifting, bite changes, and uneven wear—your dentist can recommend the best option based on your goals and budget
