Explore care for Simcoe patientsUnderstand the decision before treatment
When keeping a tooth is no longer the best option.
A tooth may need removal because of damage, infection, loss of support or another clinical reason. Before an extraction, it helps to understand whether the tooth can be retained and what leaving or replacing the space could mean.
Simcoe patients can arrange an assessment at our Port Dover office to discuss the procedure and recovery. Complex extractions or medical circumstances may require a specialist referral.
Your care, step by step
Planning a tooth extraction
01
Review the options
Your dentist examines the tooth, reviews appropriate images and explains the reasons for removal and any realistic alternatives.
02
Prepare for treatment
We review medications, consent and anaesthesia arrangements, with instructions specific to the planned procedure.
03
Support healing
You receive aftercare guidance and information about symptoms that should prompt a call or urgent review.
A detail worth discussing
Do not change medicines on your own.
Tell us about blood thinners and other prescriptions. Any changes need appropriate professional guidance; stopping a medicine without advice can create a different health risk.
Bring the medicine names and doses, including supplements and non-prescription products, so the team can review accurate information. If instructions involve another clinician, clarify who will contact them and when you should expect confirmation. You should also know which instructions apply before the extraction and which apply during recovery. Call if anything is unclear rather than borrowing preparation advice from someone whose procedure or medical history may have been different.
Planning your visit from Simcoe
Arrange your journey home in advance.
If travelling from Simcoe, ask about transport requirements and time away from work. Sedation, if planned, can change the instructions for eating, accompaniment and driving.
Appointments take place at our Port Dover office. When requesting a time, let us know you are coming from Simcoe and ask about the expected visit length.

Before a tooth is removed
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can I discuss replacement first?
Yes. Where relevant, talk through bridges, dentures or implants before removal so the sequence and healing requirements are understood.
Will every extraction be done here?
Not necessarily. Tooth position, procedure complexity and medical needs may make referral the appropriate option.
What if pain gets worse during recovery?
Contact the treating office for assessment, particularly with increasing swelling, fever or persistent bleeding. Follow the specific instructions provided after your procedure.
