Considering a dental extraction but have some hesitation? You’re certainly not alone. Many patients find this treatment to be the best step forward—whether it’s due to infection, overcrowding or damage. Still, it’s completely natural to have questions about the tooth removal process, the cost or how long it’ll take to feel normal again.
The caring team at 7 Pearls Dental are here to support you through every step of your care—so you can feel calm, comfortable and confident.
Why an Extraction Might Be the Right Choice
While it’s always ideal, of course, to retain all of your teeth, a dental extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected or contributing to crowding. Though the idea can feel overwhelming, the long-term benefits often include pain relief, better oral health and a more balanced smile.
Sedation to Ease Dental Anxiety
It’s understandable that many people feel uneasy about dental treatments. Whether it’s a past experience or fear of discomfort, rest assured, your comfort is always paramount at the practice.
To help you feel at ease, we offer a variety of sedation and analgesia options, including:
- Gentle topical numbing gel
- Inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide) for full-body relaxation
- Oral sedatives for patients needing deeper calm
- IV sedation
We listen to your concerns and tailor everything to your comfort,” says Dr Anish Malesu (Dental Surgeon). “It’s about making sure you feel safe, respected and completely supported—especially during extractions.”
What Recovery Looks Like
After your extraction, we’ll provide simple instructions to help your mouth heal. The first 24 hours are about protecting the blood clot—so you’ll need to avoid rinsing, smoking, spitting, or using straws. Stick to soft foods, rest and take any prescribed medication as directed.
After the first day, gentle saltwater rinses and a soft diet will help things along. We’re always here if you have questions or if anything feels off during recovery.
Flexible Payment Options to Suit You
Concerned about costs? You don’t have to be, as we’ve got you covered. 7 Pearls Dental offers a range of interest-free payment plans through providers like Afterpay, Zip Money, Humm and TLC—giving you the freedom to receive care now and manage payments in a way that fits your budget.
We’re also pleased to accept all health funds and have an on-site HICAPS machine for same-day rebates.
