Tooth pain, swelling, infection or a broken tooth can get worse over time. An appointment helps confirm whether you need monitoring, medication, simple extraction or surgical tooth removal.

Complex cases treated
Surgical tooth removal is used when a tooth cannot be removed with a standard extraction. This may happen when a tooth is impacted, broken, infected or positioned beneath the gum line.
A proper assessment helps determine whether the tooth can stay, needs monitoring or should be removed surgically.
If you have ongoing tooth pain, swelling or a broken tooth near the gum line, the tooth may need surgical assessment.
Your tooth may need assessment if you notice:
Tooth pain, pressure or tenderness that does not settle or keeps returning.
Swelling, infection, bad taste or gum pain around a damaged or impacted tooth.
A broken, trapped or impacted tooth that cannot be removed with a simple extraction.
Every case starts with an assessment. Dr Willis will review your symptoms, examine the tooth and may recommend imaging to check the position of the tooth, roots and nearby structures.
If surgical tooth removal is recommended, you will be told what type of extraction is needed, what anaesthetic or sedation options may suit you and what recovery usually involves.
Surgical tooth removal is planned around your comfort. Depending on your case, this may involve local anaesthetic, sedation options or hospital-based general anaesthesia. Dr Willis will explain the most suitable option before treatment begins.
A small surgical approach may be needed to access and remove the tooth safely. In some cases, the tooth is divided into smaller sections to reduce pressure on the surrounding area.
After surgical tooth removal, you will be given clear after-care instructions to support healing. This includes guidance on bleeding, swelling, pain relief, soft foods and what to avoid.
