Types of Extractions at Red Rose Dentistry
| Type | What It Is | Typical Time | Booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple extraction | Visible tooth loosened and removed with forceps. Tooth is fully erupted with accessible root structure. | 10–20 minutes per tooth | Same-day if needed |
| Surgical extraction | Tooth requires incision (impacted, broken below gum line, curved roots) | 30–60 minutes | 1–2 week booking for planned; same-day for emergency |
| Wisdom tooth extraction | May be simple (fully erupted) or surgical (partially/fully impacted) | 20–90 minutes depending on impaction | 1–2 week booking after assessment |
What to Expect at a Tooth Extraction Appointment
- Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic is given before any extraction. You will feel pressure and movement — not pain. If you feel pain at any point, we stop and administer more anaesthetic.
- The extraction: For a simple extraction, the tooth is rocked gently with forceps to loosen it from the periodontal ligament. For surgical extractions, a small incision is made and the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal.
- Socket care: Gauze pressure, and where appropriate, a dissolvable suture. If you are at risk for bone loss (large extraction site, preparing for an implant), we discuss socket preservation graft at this point.
- After-care instructions: No rinsing or spitting for 24 hours, soft diet, no straws (suction breaks the clot — dry socket risk), avoid smoking.
Dry Socket — What It Is and How to Avoid It
Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) occurs when the blood clot in the extraction socket is dislodged before healing is complete — usually within 3–5 days of extraction. It causes an intensely painful exposed bone socket. Highest risk: lower molar extractions, smokers, women on oral contraceptives (hormones affect clot stability), patients who use straws. Prevention: follow after-care instructions strictly. Treatment: a medicated dressing placed in the socket (immediate pain relief).
Tooth Extraction Cost in Hamilton — CDCP and Insurance
- Simple extraction: $150–$280
- Surgical extraction: $250–$450
- Wisdom tooth (impacted surgical): $400–$700
- CDCP: covers simple and surgical extractions for eligible patients — we bill Sun Life directly
- Sedation available for anxious patients: nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation
Replacing the Extracted Tooth — Your Options
If you are having a tooth removed that you will want replaced (wisdom teeth are not replaced — they are not needed): discuss timing at your extraction appointment. For implants, immediate placement is sometimes possible the same day as extraction. For a bridge, healing is needed first (2–3 months). For a denture, a temporary immediate denture can be placed same-day.
