Tooth Extraction

Safe, Gentle Dental Extractions by Trusted Experts

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your oral health, relieve pain, or prepare for future treatments. At HealthHub Clinics in Dubai, our experienced dental professionals perform tooth extractions with precision and care—always putting your comfort first.

Whether it’s a severely decayed tooth, impacted wisdom tooth, or an extraction needed before orthodontics, we ensure the process is smooth, stress-free, and designed around your needs.

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is carefully removed from its socket in the jawbone. It may be required when a tooth is:

  • Severely decayed or damaged beyond repair

  • Causing overcrowding or preventing proper alignment

  • Infected and unresponsive to root canal therapy

  • Loosening due to advanced gum disease

  • Impacted (commonly in the case of wisdom teeth)

At HealthHub Clinics, we use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure minimal discomfort and a fast recovery.

Common Reasons for Dental Extractions

Severe Tooth Decay or Infection
When decay reaches deep into the tooth or causes an abscess, and root canal treatment isn’t an option, extraction prevents the infection from spreading.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth often get stuck beneath the gum line or grow at the wrong angle. Removing them can prevent pain, infections, and misalignment.

Orthodontic Treatment Preparation
Sometimes teeth need to be removed to make space before braces or aligner therapy, especially in overcrowded mouths.

Fractured or Broken Teeth
If a tooth breaks at the gum line or is fractured beyond repair, extraction may be necessary.

Advanced Periodontal Disease
Gum disease can cause the supporting bone to weaken, leading to loose teeth that may require removal.

What to Expect: The Extraction Process

Your comfort is our priority. Here’s what happens during a typical extraction appointment at HealthHub Clinics:

1. Consultation and X-rays

We evaluate your tooth and take X-rays to understand its position and the surrounding structures. We also discuss your medical history and any medications.

2. Local Anesthesia

To ensure a pain-free experience, we numb the area around the tooth with local anesthesia. You may also request sedation options if you’re anxious or having multiple teeth removed.

3. Tooth Removal

The dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth. For simple extractions, this is done using forceps. In surgical extractions (like impacted wisdom teeth), a small incision may be needed.

4. Post-Extraction Care

We’ll place gauze over the area to control bleeding and give you detailed aftercare instructions for healing. If stitches are required, they may dissolve on their own or be removed in a follow-up visit.

Total appointment time: 30 upto 60 minutes.

When Is Surgical Extraction Needed?

Some cases require a surgical extraction, particularly when:

  • The tooth is broken at the gum line

  • Wisdom teeth are impacted

  • The roots are curved or difficult to access
    Our dental surgeons are trained in minor oral surgery and perform these procedures safely and efficiently under local or conscious sedation.

Recovery and Aftercare

Healing usually takes a few days. Here’s how we help you recover smoothly:

  • Pain relief medication (prescribed if needed)

  • Ice packs to reduce swelling in the first 24 hours

  • Soft diet for the first few days

  • No smoking, straws, or vigorous rinsing (to prevent dry socket)

  • Follow-up appointments to check healing, if required

Your dentist will guide you step-by-step through aftercare and monitor your healing process to ensure no complications arise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is tooth extraction painful?

No. The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia. You may feel slight pressure, but no pain. We also offer sedation for anxious patients.

Most people recover in 3–5 days. Complete healing of the gums may take 1–2 weeks. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to speed up recovery and prevent complications.

Yes, but stick to soft foods for the first few days (soups, smoothies, yogurt, etc.). Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or hard foods until the area has healed.

In most cases, yes—especially if it’s not a wisdom tooth. Missing teeth can lead to shifting, bone loss, and bite problems. We’ll discuss tooth replacement options like implants, bridges, or dentures during your consultation.
