The basics

When a Tooth Cannot Be Saved

We try to keep teeth. A filling, a crown or root canal treatment saves most damaged teeth, and we will tell you honestly when one of those is realistic. Extraction is for the cases where it is not — a tooth split below the gumline, decay that has undermined the roots, severe gum disease that has already lost the bone support, or a tooth so badly broken there is nothing left to build on.
There are two kinds. A simple extraction removes a tooth that is fully visible and comes out in one piece. A surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is broken at the gumline or still partly under bone — it takes longer and involves a small incision, but under proper freezing you feel pressure rather than pain.

Your options

What the Appointment Covers

Four parts, and the last one matters as much as the extraction itself:

Assessment & x-ray

Mapping the roots first. An x-ray shows the root shape and its relationship to nerves and sinuses, so there are no surprises mid-procedure.

Simple extraction

For a tooth that is fully visible. Loosened and lifted out in one piece under local freezing. Typically $150–$350 per tooth.

Surgical extraction

For broken or buried teeth. A small incision and sometimes sectioning of the tooth. Commonly $300–$600. See also oral surgery.

Replacing the gap

Planned before you leave. A dental implant, bridge or partial denture, depending on the site and your budget.

What a Tooth Extraction Costs in Oakville

In Ontario, a simple extraction is typically quoted between about $150 and $350 per tooth, while surgical extractions commonly run $300 to $600 depending on the tooth’s condition and position. Sedation, if it is needed, is quoted separately, as is whatever replaces the tooth afterwards. Extractions are generally covered as a basic service on most insurance plans and are within scope of the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients — you get the figure in writing before we begin.

After the Extraction: Three Ways to Fill the Gap

Leaving a gap has a cost of its own — neighbouring teeth drift and the opposing tooth over-erupts. Decide early, even if you treat later.

The process

Your Extraction, Step by Step

STEP 01

Freeze and check

We numb the area thoroughly and confirm it has taken before starting. You should feel firm pressure, never sharpness — say so immediately if you do.

STEP 02

Remove the tooth

A simple extraction takes a few minutes. A surgical one takes longer and may need a stitch or two. We talk you through each stage as it happens.

STEP 03

Aftercare, in writing

You bite on gauze until the bleeding settles and leave with written instructions, plus what to do and who to call if anything changes.

Healing Well: Protect the Clot

Almost all extraction complications come down to one thing — the blood clot in the socket being dislodged, which leaves the bone exposed and is genuinely painful. The first 24 hours decide it:

Questions

Tooth Extraction Questions, Answered

A tooth extraction may be recommended for severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, overcrowding, or a tooth that has been severely damaged by trauma.

We offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the extraction.

Most simple tooth extractions can be completed within 20–40 minutes, while more complex procedures, such as impacted wisdom tooth extractions, may take longer.

Your dentist will examine your teeth, take any necessary X-rays, discuss treatment options, administer anesthesia, and carefully remove the tooth. Afterward, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions.

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, but full bone healing may take a few months.

For the first few days, stick to soft foods. Avoid hot or hard foods until the area heals.

Soft foods such as yogurt, applesauce, soup, mashed potatoes, and smoothies are recommended during the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or very hot foods.
