Extraction of a front tooth — an incisor or a canine — is carried out when the tooth cannot be saved. These teeth have a single root, which usually makes the appointment shorter than an extraction at the back of the mouth.
Check back soon or browse all students.
The extraction is carried out with anaesthetic. Afterwards you are given aftercare instructions, which matter over the following days.
Front teeth show when you smile, so the conversation often covers what comes next. Replacing the tooth is a separate case and may be taken on by a different student.
An X-ray is usually needed to judge the position of the root. The supervising teacher approves the case and oversees the procedure.
If the examination shows the tooth can be saved, you may be offered a different treatment instead of extraction.
