01 – When to Get Assessed
When does a tooth need to be assessed for extraction?
An assessment may be appropriate when:
A tooth is severely decayed or damaged and may not be restorable
A tooth has been recommended for removal as part of a treatment plan
A wisdom tooth causes pain, pressure, or repeated gum irritation
Food or infection keeps collecting around a hard-to-clean back tooth
A wisdom tooth is partially erupted or appears to be impacted
A tooth has become loose because of advanced gum problems
02 – Assessment Before Removal
Tooth extraction at 6ix Eglinton Dental
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be predictably restored, or that is causing problems for the teeth and gums around it. Removal is never the starting assumption: the dentist examines the tooth first, and imaging may be needed to see the roots and the surrounding bone.
The treatment plan depends on the tooth and the structures around it. Some teeth that seem beyond repair can still be treated with a filling, root canal treatment, or a crown, and the dentist will tell you when one of those options is realistic.
When removal is the right choice, the dentist determines whether the extraction can be completed at the clinic after examining the tooth and reviewing any needed imaging. 6ix Eglinton Dental provides simple, surgical, and impacted wisdom-tooth extractions. Complex cases may be referred to an oral surgeon, and the dentist will explain the reason and next steps.
03 – Types of Extraction
Family dental care with a clear, practical approach
Simple extraction
For a tooth that is visible above the gumline and can be loosened and removed without surgical access. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before the extraction begins.
Surgical extraction
For a tooth that is broken at the gumline, firmly anchored, or cannot be removed in one piece. A small amount of gum or bone may need to be managed to reach the tooth.
Impacted wisdom teeth
For a wisdom tooth that is blocked from erupting fully by gum, bone, or a neighbouring tooth. Imaging is used to plan the approach before treatment is scheduled.
Referral for complex cases
Some cases involve factors that are better managed by an oral surgeon. When that applies, the dentist explains why and arranges the referral.
What to expect with an extraction
Assessment
The dentist examines the tooth and the area around it. Imaging may be needed to see the roots and nearby structures.
A clear plan

The extraction
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic. The dentist explains what you will feel and checks in with you during the procedure.
Aftercare

Clear guidance before a tooth extraction

When a case is better managed by an oral surgeon, the dentist says so and arranges it.

Tooth extraction and wisdom teeth FAQ
Do you remove impacted wisdom teeth?
Yes. 6ix Eglinton Dental performs surgical and impacted wisdom-tooth extractions as well as simple extractions. Particularly complex cases may be referred to an oral surgeon after the assessment.
What is the difference between a simple and a surgical extraction?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that is visible above the gumline and can be loosened directly. A surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is broken, firmly anchored, or cannot be removed in one piece.
Could I be referred to an oral surgeon?
Yes. Complex cases may be referred to an oral surgeon after assessment. If a referral is appropriate, the dentist will explain why and discuss the next step.
What should I expect after an extraction?
You receive aftercare instructions covering bleeding control, eating, cleaning, and activity. Healing differs from person to person, so contact the clinic if pain or swelling worsens instead of settling.
Can a tooth sometimes be treated instead of removed?
Yes. Depending on the examination, a filling, root canal treatment, or a crown may be able to save the tooth, and the dentist will tell you when that is realistic.
When should extraction pain or swelling be treated as urgent?
Call the clinic promptly about severe pain, spreading swelling, or fever. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing requires urgent medical care, not a dental appointment.
