Dental Extractions in Brisbane | Zen Dental Studio Bridgeman Downs

Dental extractions are the last resort by a denist to save surrounding teeth and prevent further damage to your oral health. Is tooth removal painful? Generally, tooth removal is painless. Because the nerve fibers that transmit pain signals will be anesthetized by specialised techniques, you won’t experience pain. You will, however, experience the sensation of pressure. At times, you may even experience a lot of pressure. Although this feeling of pressure shouldn’t cause you to feel discomfort, we mention it here because the more you know exactly what you can expect, the easier it will be for you to feel relaxed during the procedure Would I need antibiotics? Antibiotics are not required after simple extractions in patients who are not medically comprised and who do not have large infections. Would I need time off work and how long would recovery take? Depending on your exact dental problem, you may need a simple extraction or a surgical extraction. Surgical extractions have a longer healing process and come with a higher cost than simple tooth extractions. If indicated, a leave and attendance certificate will be organised by our practice for you. How much would it cost? Tooth extractions cost anywhere from $140-$450 per tooth. This cost is higher for surgical extractions and also if a tooth is to be removed and replaced with a dental implant, specialised atraumatic techniques are used which may cost more. Our team will discuss costs with you in detail before any treatment is commenced. How much does my health insurance cover? We can check your expected out of pocket costs on the day of appointment with our HICAPS instant claims machine before commencing treatment, so that you have peace of mind.
