Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extraction
in Northeast Brampton
When a tooth cannot be saved, prompt and gentle extraction relieves pain and prevents complications — with tooth replacement options available to restore your smile afterward.
Overview
What Is Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Northeast Brampton?
Tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth is too severely damaged or decayed for restoration, when severe gum disease has compromised its bone support, or when removal is needed to resolve overcrowding as part of an orthodontic plan. At Gardenbrooke Dental, extractions are performed as gently as possible under local anaesthesia, with the goal of making the experience as comfortable as the situation allows.
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the most commonly extracted teeth. They typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25, and many people lack the jaw space for them to fully erupt properly. Impacted wisdom teeth — those blocked from erupting by adjacent teeth or the jawline — can cause pain, push neighbouring teeth out of alignment, develop cysts, or become partially exposed and prone to infection (pericoronitis). Early removal, before the roots are fully developed, typically results in an easier recovery.
Following extraction, your dentist will discuss options to replace the missing tooth — dental implants, a fixed bridge, or a partial denture — to prevent the consequences of leaving a gap, including bone loss and tooth shifting.
Process
What to Expect
- 1Examination and X-rays: the tooth position, root anatomy, and surrounding bone are assessed.
- 2Local anaesthesia: the extraction site is thoroughly numbed; you will feel pressure and movement but not pain.
- 3Extraction: the tooth is loosened using specialized instruments and gently removed; impacted wisdom teeth may require a small incision.
- 4Post-extraction care: a gauze pad is placed and you receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent dry socket.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extraction at Gardenbrooke Dental in Brampton
Will a tooth or wisdom tooth extraction at Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton hurt?
The extraction is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain — only pressure. Some soreness in the days following is normal and managed with over-the-counter pain medication and ice. Most patients are comfortable within 2–3 days.
What is dry socket and how does Gardenbrooke Dental recommend preventing it after extraction?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot in the extraction socket is dislodged before healing is complete, exposing the bone. It is painful but treatable. To prevent it: avoid smoking, drinking through straws, and vigorous rinsing for at least 24–48 hours after extraction. Follow your post-operative instructions carefully.
Does Dr. Tanya Khattra recommend replacing an extracted tooth at Gardenbrooke Dental?
Yes, in most cases. Gaps left by missing teeth allow neighbouring teeth to shift and lead to bone loss over time. Your dentist will discuss the best replacement option — implant, bridge, or partial denture — based on your specific situation.
