Tooth Extraction

We understand that the thought of tooth extraction can feel overwhelming. Rest assured, Dr Fine and our caring team are here to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Whether you need a simple extraction or a complex wisdom tooth removal, we're equipped to handle your needs with compassion.

Advanced Sedation Options

Dr Fine brings exceptional qualifications to every extraction procedure. He holds a graduate diploma in conscious sedation and pain control from the University of Sydney—an elite qualification held by only a handful of dentists across Western Australia.

With special dispensation from AHPRA to legally perform advanced anaesthetic procedures, Dr Fine can provide intravenous (IV) sedation for patients who need it, ensuring maximum comfort during even the most complex extractions.

This extensive training makes Dr Fine uniquely qualified to handle complex cases, including impacted wisdom teeth and extractions that require surgical intervention. Our practice is fully equipped with modern technology and sedation facilities to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

Don't Delay: Why Timely Extraction Matters

Postponing a recommended tooth extraction can lead to serious complications. Here's what you should know.

Infection Spread
Untreated dental infections can spread to surrounding tissues, the jawbone, and even into the bloodstream, potentially causing life-threatening complications.
Increased Pain
Delaying treatment typically results in worsening pain that becomes harder to manage and may require more intensive intervention.
Adjacent Teeth
Problematic teeth can affect neighbouring healthy teeth, potentially compromising their structure and requiring additional treatments.
Jawbone Deterioration
Severe infections can damage the jawbone, making future tooth replacement options more complex and expensive.
Cyst Formation
Impacted wisdom teeth or infected tooth roots can develop cysts, which may require more extensive surgical treatment.
Higher Costs
What starts as a straightforward extraction can become a complex procedure if left untreated, resulting in increased treatment time and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, not everyone needs their wisdom teeth extracted. Dr Fine evaluates each patient's individual situation to determine whether wisdom tooth removal is necessary. Many people can keep their wisdom teeth throughout their lives without experiencing any problems.

When Do We Recommend Extracting Wisdom Teeth?

The decision to extract wisdom teeth depends on several factors including the size of your jaw, the position of the teeth and whether they're causing or likely to cause problems. Dr Fine uses a comprehensive examination and x-rays to assess your wisdom teeth and make informed recommendations based on your specific circumstances.

Wisdom teeth extraction is typically recommended when:

  • Insufficient space — Your jaw doesn't have enough room for wisdom teeth to erupt properly, leading to crowding or impaction
  • Impacted teeth — Wisdom teeth that cannot fully emerge through the gums, potentially causing pain, infection or damage to adjacent teeth
  • Decay or gum disease — Wisdom teeth that are difficult to clean properly, leading to cavities or periodontal problems that cannot be effectively managed
  • Cysts or tumours — Rare complications that can develop around impacted wisdom teeth, requiring removal to prevent further damage
  • Orthodontic considerations — When wisdom teeth threaten to undo previous orthodontic treatment by causing crowding of front teeth

Arrange an Evaluation to Learn More

However, if your wisdom teeth have erupted properly, fit comfortably in your mouth and can be cleaned effectively, there's often no need for extraction. Dr Fine believes in conservative treatment and only recommends removal when it's truly beneficial for your oral health.

Regular monitoring through routine dental visits at our dental clinic in Bayswater enables Dr Fine to track the development of your wisdom teeth and intervene only when necessary to maintain your optimal oral health.
