It might sound like it will be a painful procedure to remove a tooth. Prior to the extraction, your dentist will ensure that the tooth and surrounding gum tissue are completely numb. Patients should feel little more than pressure during tooth extractions.
During the procedure, the dentist will grip the tooth firmly using specialised tools. The tooth will be rocked back and forth with the specialised tools. This will result in the socket widening slightly and the roots loosening. After a short amount of time, the tooth should be pulled free from your mouth.
There are some more complicated extractions where the tooth could prove to be somewhat stubbornly set. In these situations, the dentist may need to break up the tooth and remove it in pieces. While this may sound like something that’ll be painful and cause more discomfort, it’s quite common. When teeth are anchored well, have curved roots or are impacted, it becomes necessary to take additional steps during the extraction.
During the entire procedure you should feel only the slight pressure of the tooth being manipulated.
After surgical tooth extraction patients may be wondering what type of healing they can expect. The good news is that tooth extraction healing is often swift and uncomplicated. Following after-care instructions will ensure that patients avoid a painful condition known as dry socket. 
While every effort should be made to preserve the natural tooth, it can prove to be more beneficial to remove it completely. This can help to prevent problematic and repeated infections, and of course help to eliminate pain that patients may have been feeling from that damaged or decayed tooth.
Another advantage is that removing damaged teeth can help to avoid the spread of decay and infection. Infection from the tooth could spread and enter into the blood stream. It can lead to the potential for sepsis, and also irreversible heart damage.
Once a tooth has been extracted, unless it has been extracted to make additional room in the mouth, it will need to be replaced. Gaps between teeth can lead to shifting of the other teeth and can also lead to bone loss in the jaw. Working with your dentist, you can work towards a solution to replace the extracted teeth so that it need not prove to be a disadvantage to remove damaged teeth. -
I was very lucky to come across Crown Dental 8 years ago. While other dentists were offering extremely complicated and unaffordable treatments, Erika came up with a much simpler and affordable solution to my issues. I have been going to Crown Dental all these years and have got all my dental work done there: crowns, extractions, cleanings and check-ups... I would definitely recommend Erika and her team in Crown Dental to anyone looking for a top quality, reliable and friendly dentist.

August 24, 2020I went for a check up at Crown Dental two weeks ago, after looking at my teeth for approximately 30 seconds the dentist told me I had been grinding my teeth therefore needing a mouthguard/splint and had three cavities. I was shocked as I had no prior issues with my teeth and was not experiencing any sensitivity. I was very distressed that my teeth had deteriorated so rapidly I wanted to get a second opinion. I went to a different dentist in Dublin and I was told my teeth were 100% fine. Therefore I would NOT recommend visiting this dentist.

Crown dental 1st of all fixed my teeth few fillings had to redo a root canal and even a chipped tooth and then some crown's!! and after all that offered me a valplast?? (Not sure if I have the right name)denture no metal! My teeth are now in brilliant condition and after years of no smiles I have mine back two years and love it.

November 1, 2022Myself and my family has seen Dr. Erika Barta regularly. Crown Dental helped our family in many ways, we always attend for regular check-ups and cleanings. And also got implants and bridges done by Crown Dental. The staff is very helpful and professional. The environment is very relaxed, you don't feel going to the dentist 🙂 . I always recommend the clinic to my friends.

I've been a patient at Crown Dental for over 6 years. When I was younger I played professional Rugby and lost a good number of my front teeth due to a freak-accident (knee in the face). For years I had a denture, which was a hassle to eat with. It also made me self conscious in social interactions, until I could bare it no longer. Crown Dental was recommended to me and it literally changed my life in so many ways! Over this period I had 4 implants, 5 crowns, 1 bridge and several root canals done, along with a couple of fillings and cleanings. I now have an amazing smile that all my friends and family are complimenting me about, it restored my confidence and gave me a brighter outlook on life. Thank you Dr. Erika for changing my life.

June 8, 2019Great dentists and friendly staff! I had bone augmentation, 2 implants and 3 crowns done. The whole process took about a year due to the complexity but it certainly was worth it. I am delighted with the results and will happily recommend the clinic to my friends and family.

Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

Your First Visit: Step by Step Guide
Here we take you through your first visit to the dentist, step by step. We will aim to make your visits as enjoyable as possible
Options for Missing Teeth
If you are missing one or more teeth, the sooner you act the better. This will avoid bone regression as well as the other teeth moving. The treatment options are dental implants, dental bridges and dentures.
Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatment is necessary to reduce pain and preserve the natural tooth. When the pulp inside of your tooth has become infected, which can happen through damage sustained directly to the tooth, or through tooth decay a root canal is needed.
Dental Bridges
The loss of teeth can happen for any number of reasons. Whether the result of serious decay or an injury, the tooth that was lost left a gap between teeth that needs to be addressed. While the loss of some teeth may not have an immediate impact on your smile they can have an impact on your bite.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns have become the standard for the protection of repaired teeth. They are durable, offer a wholly natural look, and will help to keep you smiling for many good years to come.
Inlays & Onlays
There are occasions where the decay or damage to a tooth may be too extensive to be treated with a simple filling, but not quite extensive enough to need the full-coverage of a crown. In these types of situations, the best option for tooth restoration may be to consider dental inlays or onlays.
