Dental Extractions: When Are They Needed? 

At ICS Dental Studio, Dr Skaf carefully evaluates each patient to determine if dental extractions are necessary. This section will explain the circumstances in which extractions may be recommended, such as severe tooth decay, advanced periodontal disease, impacted wisdom teeth or teeth requiring removal for orthodontic treatment. We prioritise your oral health and will thoroughly explain the need for extractions and alternative treatment options when applicable. We welcome patients from Picnic Point, Panania, Voyager Point, East Hills, Pleasure Point, Hammondville, Wattle Grove, Sandy Point, Revesby, Revesby Heights, Alfords Point, Padstow, Padstow Heights, Lugarno, Peakhurst, Peakhurst Heights, Riverwood, Mortdale, Illawong, Menai and all surrounding areas to ICS Dental Studio.

The Dental Extraction Process at ICS Dental Studio

At ICS Dental Studio, Dr Skaf and our skilled team ensure a comfortable and efficient dental extraction process. Teeth often heavily broken down or infected are indicated for extraction or removal. We begin by thoroughly numbing the extraction area using local anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure. This is followed by techniques that help loosen the tooth before it is gently delivered and removed. You will be given gauze with or without sutures to ensure there is minimal bleeding thereafter. Some teeth, like wisdom teeth, may require surgery for full removal, which will be discussed prior to your treatment.  

Surgical Extractions of Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth can often pose unique challenges, requiring surgical extractions. Dr Skaf specialises in the removal of impacted wisdom teeth to prevent potential complications. Wisdom teeth may often cause a myriad of issues from infections, to initiating decay on adjacent teeth or even develop cysts and other pathologies. Dr Skaf will assess your wisdom teeth clinically and radiographically and recommend the ideal treatment for your unique situation. These can range from allowing wisdom teeth to develop and function as regular teeth to having them removed under IV sedation. The added choice of IV sedation allows you to be comfortably asleep whilst your teeth are being removed to ensure the smoothest experience for you. 

Socket Grafting: Preserving Bone After Extractionssocket grafting | dental extractions east hills, NSW

At ICS Dental Studio, we prioritise your long-term oral health and aesthetics. That’s why we offer socket grafting as an option to preserve bone after extractions. This subsection will explain how socket grafting involves placing bone graft material into the empty socket to facilitate proper healing and prevent bone loss. Dr Skaf will discuss the benefits of socket grafting, such as preserving the jawbone structure and providing a solid foundation for future dental implants or prosthetic replacements.
