Tooth Extraction
At The Plaza Dental Centre in Toronto, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth whenever possible—but sometimes, a tooth extraction is the best step toward protecting your overall oral health. Whether you have a severely decayed, damaged, or impacted tooth, our experienced dental team provides safe, gentle tooth removal in a comfortable, stress-free environment.
If you’re experiencing dental pain or need a tooth evaluated, we’re here to help with compassionate, expert care.
Tooth extraction procedures are used to treat severe oral health issues. If your teeth are badly damaged due to decay, trauma, crowding or infection, it may be necessary to have a tooth extraction. Before an extraction, restorative options such as root canal therapy, dental crowns and tooth fillings are considered.
Modern advancements in dentistry make the tooth extraction process considerably less invasive and painful than in the past. As a team of skilled professionals, our goal is to help ease stress and provide comfort throughout the process.
Tips for before your procedure:
- Ask questions – being “in the know” typically helps our patients feel more comfortable with the procedure.
- Learn about our recommendations for aftercare.

What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be restored, is causing overcrowding, or poses a risk of infection.
At The Plaza Dental Centre, we use modern techniques and local anesthesia to make the procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
You may need a tooth extraction if you have:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- A broken or fractured tooth beyond repair
- Advanced gum disease (periodontitis)
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Overcrowded teeth before orthodontic treatment
- Preparation for dentures or dental implants
We always explore all restorative options first. Extractions are recommended only when necessary to protect your health and long-term function.
Types of Tooth Extractions We Offer
- Simple Extractions – Performed on visible, fully erupted teeth using specialized instruments
- Surgical Extractions – Required for impacted, broken, or difficult-to-remove teeth (e.g., wisdom teeth)
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – Common for impacted or misaligned third molars that cause pain or crowding
If needed, we can refer you to a trusted oral surgeon for complex extractions or sedation services.
After an Extraction: What’s Next?
After an extraction, it’s important to consider tooth replacement options to prevent shifting, bite issues, or bone loss. We offer:
- Dental implants
- Dental bridges
- Partial dentures
Our team will help you choose the best restorative solution to complete your smile and restore function.
Our Tooth Extraction Process
- Examination & X-rays
We assess the condition of the tooth using a digital X-ray and clinical evaluation.
- Local Anesthesia
The area is numbed thoroughly to ensure a pain-free procedure.
- Tooth Removal
Using gentle techniques, the tooth is loosened and carefully removed. Surgical extractions may require a small incision or sectioning of the tooth.
- Aftercare & Healing
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and promote fast healing.
