Tooth Extractions in Perth
Dealing with a badly damaged tooth, an impacted wisdom tooth, or ongoing pain that won’t settle? Dental O So Gentle provides tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal across our two Perth clinics in the Perth CBD on St Georges Terrace and in Beldon, in Perth’s northern suburbs. Whichever clinic is closer to you, our aim is the same: to relieve dental pain and help restore your oral health as comfortably as possible. When a tooth genuinely can’t be saved, a well-managed extraction is often a straightforward path back to comfort.
With more than 100 years of combined clinical experience across our team, our focus is on gentle, patient-comfortable dentistry something that matters most when you’re facing a procedure you’d rather not need.
What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be saved, or that is causing wider problems in the mouth. It sits within oral surgery the area of dentistry that covers procedures which can’t be resolved through general dental care alone, such as removing badly decayed teeth and impacted wisdom teeth. These procedures aim to relieve pain, help prevent complications, and support your longer-term oral health where other treatments aren’t suitable.
Extraction is generally considered only once other options have been ruled out or aren’t appropriate for the situation for example, when a tooth is too damaged by decay, gum disease or infection to restore. Your dentist will always talk through the reasoning behind any recommendation, so you understand why an extraction is being suggested in your particular case. That conversation is an important part of helping you feel confident in the decision before anything goes ahead.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction and Oral Surgery
- Pain relief — removing a severely damaged or infected tooth can help relieve pain and restore day-to-day comfort.
- Preventing complications — addressing a problematic tooth can help stop further infection or wider oral health issues developing.
- Wisdom teeth care — careful removal of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can help reduce pain, infection and crowding.
- Comfort-focused care — gentle techniques and clear, unhurried explanations help anxious patients feel more at ease throughout the process.
Together, these reflect an approach focused on resolving the immediate problem while helping protect your broader oral health going forward. Removing a problematic tooth is often what allows the rest of the mouth to settle and function properly again, particularly where persistent infection or pain has been affecting everyday comfort.
Our Tooth Extraction Process
Step One
Consultation:
We begin with a thorough assessment of your dental health, a review of your medical history, and a discussion of your symptoms and what you’d like to achieve from treatment.
Step Two
Preparation and Procedure:
We take imaging such as X-rays, provide clear pre-operative instructions, then carry out the extraction under local anaesthetic, using techniques suited to your situation. More complex surgical cases may be referred to a specialist where clinically appropriate.
Step Three
Post-Operative Care:
You’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions including how to care for any sutures and how to protect the area as it heals along with follow-up monitoring to support a smooth recovery.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and your individual healing, and your dentist will give you a clearer sense of what to expect for your specific procedure. Following aftercare instructions closely plays an important role in protecting the blood clot and the underlying bone, keeping recovery as straightforward as possible and helping reduce the risk of complications while you heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a tooth extraction painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the extraction itself. Some discomfort during recovery is normal and manageable, and your dentist will explain how to care for the area afterwards including how to help protect the site and reduce the risk of issues such as dry socket.
Are tooth extractions available at both the Perth CBD and Beldon clinics?
Yes. Tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal are offered at both our Perth CBD clinic on St Georges Terrace and our Beldon clinic on Eddystone Avenue. At the Perth CBD clinic, Dr Rohan Jagota includes oral surgery among his areas of practice, and more complex surgical cases can be referred to a specialist where clinically appropriate. If you’re not sure which clinic suits you, just call either location and our team can help.
How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?
This varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and your individual healing, but many patients notice a meaningful improvement within a few days. Your dentist can give you a clearer timeframe based on your specific procedure, including when you can move from soft foods back to your usual diet.
Will I need to replace the extracted tooth?
That depends on the position of the tooth and your individual circumstances. If a replacement is appropriate, your dentist can discuss options such as dental implants, bridges or dentures with you.
