Expert Tooth Extraction at Greenwoods Dental

Tooth extraction is one of the most common dental procedures – and at Greenwoods Dental & Surgical Centres, it’s one we perform with exceptional care every day. Whether you’re coming in for a planned extraction or need emergency relief, our team will walk you through every step and make sure you feel confident and comfortable.

 

We offer routine extractions, surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and same-day emergency extractions across our five Winnipeg locations – open evenings and weekends for your convenience.

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Not every damaged tooth needs to be extracted — but when it does, acting quickly protects your overall oral health. Here are the most common situations where extraction is the right choice:

Severe decay icon

Severe Decay or Infection

When decay or infection has progressed too far for a filling or root canal to save the tooth, extraction helps prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and bone.

Tooth crowding icon

Tooth Crowding

Before orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign, strategic extractions may create space so remaining teeth can align properly and treatment is more effective.

Impacted wisdom tooth icon

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth that emerge at an angle or remain trapped beneath the gumline can cause pain, crowding, and infection — making extraction the safest solution.

Broken tooth icon

Trauma or Broken Tooth

Accidents and sports injuries can fracture a tooth below the gumline or damage its root. When repair isn't possible, extraction may be recommended.

Advanced gum disease icon

Advanced Gum Disease

Severe periodontal disease can loosen teeth by destroying supporting bone and tissue. Extraction of affected teeth may be needed to protect your remaining healthy teeth.

Preparation for dentures icon

Preparation for Dentures

Patients transitioning to full or partial dentures may need remaining teeth extracted. We offer efficient treatment planning for smooth, convenient results.

Every Type of Extraction, Under One Roof

From straightforward extractions to complex treatments, our multi-disciplinary team handles it all – with sedation options to make treatments comfortable.

What To Expect

Your Extraction, Step by Step

We believe informed patients are comfortable patients. Here’s exactly what happens from the moment you arrive to when you leave.

1

Exam & X-Rays

We assess the tooth and surrounding bone with digital X-rays and create your personalized treatment plan.

2

Anesthesia & Sedation

Local anesthesia numbs the site completely. Sedation options are discussed and provided based on your needs and comfort.

3

Extraction

We gently loosen and remove the tooth. For impacted teeth, a small incision may be required. You’ll feel pressure — never pain.

4

Aftercare & Recovery

The area is cleaned and sutured if needed. We provide written aftercare instructions and are available for follow-up questions.

Your Extraction Questions, Answered

How long does a tooth extraction take?

A simple extraction typically takes 20–40 minutes including preparation and post-care instructions. Surgical extractions — such as impacted wisdom teeth — may take 45–90 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.

Is tooth extraction painful?

With local anesthesia, you will not feel pain — only pressure and movement. For anxious patients, sedation options from laughing gas to IV sedation help keep you calm and comfortable throughout treatment. Post-procedure discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How soon can I eat after a tooth extraction?

Start with cool soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, and smoothies for the first 24 hours. You can gradually return to your normal diet as the area heals — usually within 3–7 days. Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or extremely hot foods during recovery.

Does Greenwoods Dental offer emergency tooth extractions?

Yes. We provide same-day emergency tooth extraction across our Winnipeg locations whenever possible. If you're experiencing severe pain, swelling, or trauma, call us at 204-774-7774 and our team will do our best to help quickly.

Can I get dentures the same day as my extraction?

In many cases, yes. Immediate denture placement following extraction may allow you to leave the clinic with a complete smile the same day. Ask our team if same-day dentures are right for you.

What is dry socket, and how do I avoid it?

Dry socket happens when the protective blood clot becomes dislodged before healing is complete, exposing the bone underneath. To reduce the risk, avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing for at least 72 hours, and follow all aftercare instructions carefully.

How much does a tooth extraction cost in Winnipeg?

Costs vary depending on whether the extraction is simple or surgical and whether sedation is required. Many insurance plans cover part of the treatment. Contact our team for a personalized estimate based on your needs.

What should I do to prepare for a tooth extraction?

If sedation is planned, you may need to avoid food and drink beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing, arrange a ride home if needed, and bring a list of current medications. We’ll provide specific instructions before your appointment.
