Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged, infected, loose, broken, or painful to restore predictably.
Before removing a tooth, your dentist reviews whether other options may be possible, such as a filling, crown, root canal therapy, or another restorative treatment.
Emergency Extraction Assessment
Some patients need urgent assessment because of severe tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, or infection concerns.
An emergency visit helps identify whether extraction is needed or whether another treatment can address the problem.
Broken or Non-Restorable Tooth Assessment
A broken tooth does not always need removal. The dentist checks how much healthy tooth structure remains and whether the tooth can support repair.
If the tooth cannot be restored safely, extraction may be discussed.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is dental care involving surgical treatment of teeth, gums, or supporting oral structures.
For this category page, the main focus is tooth extraction and extraction-related assessment. Some oral surgery cases are simple, while others may be more complex and need referral to an oral surgeon.
At Grimsby Lake Dental, the first step is always assessment. The dentist checks the tooth, X-rays, symptoms, medical history, and whether saving the tooth is possible before recommending extraction.
Who May Need Oral Surgery?
You may need an oral surgery assessment if a tooth is painful, infected, broken, loose, or badly damaged.
Oral surgery assessment may be needed for:
- ✓Severe tooth pain
- ✓Broken tooth near the gumline
- ✓Tooth infection concerns
- ✓Loose tooth from gum disease
- ✓Tooth that cannot be restored
- ✓Failed or damaged dental work
- ✓Pain when biting
- ✓Swelling around a tooth
- ✓Emergency dental injury
- ✓A tooth with poor long-term prognosis
Not every painful tooth needs removal. A dental exam helps confirm the right next step.
What Happens During an Oral Surgery Assessment?

The dentist checks the problem tooth, surrounding gums, nearby teeth, and visible damage.
X-Rays When Needed
X-rays may be recommended to check the root, bone support, infection concerns, or tooth position.
Medical History Review
Your health history, medications, allergies, and previous dental experiences are reviewed before surgical care is planned.
Treatment Options
Your dentist explains whether the tooth may be saved or whether extraction is recommended.
Referral When Needed
If the case is complex, referral to an oral surgeon or specialist may be recommended.
Cost and CDCP Coverage
The cost of oral surgery depends on the tooth, X-rays, complexity, appointment type, and whether referral is needed.
