Tooth Extraction in Dubai
Preserving Your Oral Health at Legacy Dental
We understand that losing a tooth can be a concerning experience. However, when necessary, our experienced dentists perform safe and gentle tooth extractions to promote your oral health and prevent future complications.
Understanding Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. There are two main types of tooth extractions:
- Simple Extraction: This procedure removes a visible tooth that is not deeply rooted or impacted.
- Surgical Extraction: This more complex procedure involves removing a tooth that is broken below the gum line, impacted, or deeply rooted.
Symptoms You Might Need Tooth Extraction
There are several reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary, including:
- Severe tooth decay or damage beyond repair: If a cavity is too large or a tooth is severely cracked or fractured, extraction may be the best course of action.
- Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth that are trapped or growing in the wrong direction can cause pain, infection, and crowding. Extraction is often recommended to prevent future problems.
- Advanced gum disease: In severe cases of gum disease, where the bone supporting the teeth is significantly damaged, extraction may be necessary.
- Overcrowding or misalignment issues: In some cases, tooth extraction may be required to create space for orthodontic treatment to properly align teeth.
- Preparation for dentures or implants (in some cases): Extractions may be needed to prepare the jawbone for dentures or dental implants.
Considering Tooth Extraction
We understand that tooth extraction is not an ideal solution. During your consultation, our dentists will thoroughly examine your situation and explore all potential options before recommending extraction. This might include treatments such as fillings, root canals, or periodontal therapy to save the tooth whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
We understand the concern about pain during root canal treatment. However, at Legacy Dental, we prioritize your comfort. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and employ advanced techniques to minimize discomfort. You may experience some mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
The duration of a root canal treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the case. A typical root canal can take around one to two hours, while more complex cases may require additional time. Our team will provide an estimated timeframe during your consultation.
What happens after a root canal?
Following the procedure, you may experience some temporary discomfort or sensitivity. Our team will provide specific post-treatment instructions, including pain management tips and dietary recommendations. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to monitor your healing and ensure the root canal is successful.
How long does a root canal last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a root canal can last for many years, even a lifetime in some cases. Maintaining good oral health practices helps prevent future decay and reinfection.
What are the alternatives to root canal treatment?
In some cases, depending on the severity of the infection, extraction may be the only option. However, whenever possible, root canal treatment is preferred to preserve your natural tooth structure. Our dentists will discuss all treatment options with you during your consultation.
Can I prevent the need for a root canal?
Practicing good oral hygiene is essential for preventing the need for root canals. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental checkups and cleanings. Early detection and treatment of cavities can prevent them from progressing to the point where a root canal becomes necessary
