Surgical Extractions in Wetherill Park

Surgical Extractions Wetherill Park – dentist reviewing X-ray with patient.

Safe Removal of Complex or Impacted Teeth

At Dr Raymond Platon & Associates, your trusted dentist in Wetherill Park, we perform surgical extractions when teeth cannot be removed with a simple procedure. A surgical extraction may be required for impacted wisdom teeth, fractured teeth, or cases where the tooth is trapped under the gum or bone. With modern equipment and a gentle approach, our team ensures safe, precise, and comfortable treatment.

Patients from St Johns Park, Bonnyrigg Heights, and Abbotsbury regularly visit our dental clinic in Wetherill Park for surgical extractions, knowing their long-term oral health is our highest priority.

When Is Surgical Extraction Needed?

Surgical extractions are only recommended when a tooth cannot be removed with a simple procedure. Common situations include:

  • Impacted teeth beneath the gum or bone – usually wisdom teeth that do not erupt properly.
  • Fractured teeth below the gum line – making normal extraction difficult.
  • Wisdom teeth growing at the wrong angle – which may push against neighbouring teeth or cause infection.
  • Severe decay – where too much of the tooth has broken down.
  • Curved or fused roots – making removal more complex.

Whenever possible, we first explore treatments such as Root Canal Therapy or a Dental Crowns before recommending surgical removal.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Our process is designed for safety and comfort at every stage:

  • Examination & X-rays – we assess the exact tooth position and plan your treatment carefully.
  • Anaesthetic – we administer local anaesthetic so you remain comfortable and pain-free.
  • Accessing the tooth – if necessary, we make a small incision to reach the tooth beneath gum or bone.
  • Tooth Removal – in some cases, we divide the tooth into sections for easier extraction.
  • Stitches & Aftercare – we place dissolvable stitches and provide detailed recovery instructions.

Our team explains each step in advance so you know what to expect. This clear communication helps reduce anxiety and ensures you feel supported throughout the procedure. Moreover, we maintain constant communication during the procedure to make sure you remain calm and comfortable.

    Recovery and Healing After Surgery

      With the right aftercare, recovery is usually straightforward. Our team provides clear guidance to support your healing:

      • Rest and avoid strenuous activity for at least 48 hours
      • Use prescribed medication and apply cold packs to reduce swelling
      • Eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the treated side
      • Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or use straws while healing
      • Return for follow-up visits so we can monitor your recovery

      By following these steps, you heal faster and reduce the risk of complications.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Surgical Extractions in Wetherill Park

      Is a surgical extraction painful?

      No. We use local anaesthetic so you feel no pain during the procedure. Afterward, some swelling or mild discomfort is normal and manageable with care. Moreover, our team monitors your comfort closely throughout treatment to ensure a calm and reassuring experience.

      How long does recovery take?

      Recovery usually takes 7–14 days. However, healing time depends on the tooth removed and your overall health. In addition, our team provides personalised aftercare instructions to help you heal faster and minimise discomfort.

      What makes surgical extraction different from a simple extraction?

      A simple extraction removes a tooth visible above the gum line. In contrast, surgical extraction is required when a tooth is beneath gum or bone. Additionally, our dentist carefully assesses each case to determine the safest and most effective approach for your situation.

      Can I return to work after my procedure?

      Most patients rest for one or two days before returning to work, although this may vary depending on your comfort and treatment. Furthermore, our team offers tailored recovery advice to help you resume normal activities safely and confidently.

      How much does surgical extraction cost?

      Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case. We always provide a clear estimate at your consultation. Moreover, our team explains all available options in detail so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

      Suitability, risks, recovery needs, and alternatives will always be explained by your dentist before treatment. Outcomes vary for each individual patient.
