At Burnside Dental Practice we will always do what we can to save your tooth and preserve its normal function.
However there are times when a tooth cannot be saved and extraction is recommended to prevent further infection, bone loss and pain. There are many reasons why at Burnside Dental we may recommend tooth extraction such as extensive tooth decay, gum disease, trauma, impacted wisdom teeth as well tooth crowding and preparation for braces.
If you’ve been looking for “tooth extraction near me”, then your search is over. We do our utmost to provide you with a multitude of options so it is a pleasant experience as often the thought of having a tooth pulled is not a nice feeling. Once seen by the dentist at Burnside Dental they will explain if the extraction is simple to remove or if further work is required and you needing a surgical extraction.
It’s not fun hearing you have to have a tooth removed. If this has been suggested then often it is the best way to eliminate infections and get you back to having a healthy smile. If a tooth extraction has been recommended then we will be more than happy to discuss replacement options with you such as Implants, Dental Bridges, and Dentures which can all help to restore function, appearance and improve oral health.
At Burnside Dental practice we are more than happy to discuss options of sedation to include in your treatment plan such as Nitrous sedation (happy gas) and IV sedation.
Wisdom teeth are the last of the adult teeth to erupt and often do so between the ages of 16 and 23. There is usually limited space to accommodate wisdom teeth, leading to complications such as crowding. If your wisdom teeth are impacted and/or have become infected, they will need to be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage to surrounding gums and teeth. Fortunately, the team at Burnside Dental Practice can assist with your wisdom tooth removal and help you to maintain your dental health and avoid further discomfort or complications.
This involves extracting one or more wisdom teeth in a single session using the latest technologies. We’ll expose the tooth and bone by making an incision in the gum tissue, after which we can remove bone that blocks the root and extract the tooth. We then clean the area, stitch the wound, and place a gauze over the extraction site to control bleeding and help form a blood clot.
Infection can occur when a wisdom tooth starts to push through the gums. This can cause pain, swelling and jaw stiffness.

If a cyst forms around
the tooth, this may destroy

and gums.
An impacted wisdom tooth may keep pushing against the molar next to it and cause serious damage to both teeth. This could result in both teeth being lost.
The cost for removal of Wisdom teeth in Adelaide varies based on the number of wisdom teeth that need removing. Naturally, removing all four wisdom teeth will cost more than just one. The cost is typically $350 – $450 per tooth, with some private health insurances able to cover a portion of these costs. The choice of sedation can also influence the price. For example, local anaesthetic will cost less than IV sedation. Our dentist can formulate a plan that takes your budget into account.
Removing teeth can cause some discomfort, many people worry about discomfort or pain during a tooth extraction but the procedure shouldn’t be painful. Our dentists have years of experience when it comes to tooth extraction and we do our best to make you feel as comfortable with our caring and empathetic approach. We use advanced dental tools for an efficient procedure and we have several sedation options available to minimise discomfort during the procedure itself, but it’s normal to experience pain for several days afterwards as the site heals.
