Overview
When a tooth may need to be removed
A tooth extraction removes a tooth that cannot be kept or that is causing problems. Removing a tooth is not automatically the first choice: the dentist first checks whether the tooth can be saved with other care, such as a filling, a crown or root canal treatment.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, usually between the ages of 15 and 25. When there is not enough space in the jaw, they can become impacted, and the direction they grow in also matters. Whether a wisdom tooth should be removed is decided after an examination and imaging.
Sunset Dental Centre is located at 6045 Bank Street, Unit 203 in Greely, Ottawa. The clinic bills insurance directly for extractions and accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
If a tooth is removed, your dentist can discuss whether and how to replace it, for example with a dental implant or a denture.

How treatment is planned
How tooth extraction is planned
The number of visits depends on the tooth and your plan. Your dentist will explain the expected timing.
The dentist examines the tooth and the area around it and discusses your symptoms.
Imaging helps the dentist see the roots and nearby structures. The dentist explains whether removal is recommended and what the procedure involves.
The tooth is removed according to the agreed plan, and the dentist explains each step before it begins.
The dentist explains how to care for the area while it heals. If the tooth will be replaced, the next steps are planned once the site has healed.
Do you remove wisdom teeth?
Yes. Sunset Dental Centre removes wisdom teeth at the clinic. Whether a wisdom tooth should come out, and how, is decided after an examination and imaging.
Does every wisdom tooth need to be removed?
Not always. The decision depends on factors such as whether the teeth are already causing trouble. Your dentist explains what is recommended after an examination and imaging.
What does a tooth extraction cost?
Extraction fees are not listed online. The cost is confirmed after the dentist has examined the tooth. The clinic bills insurance directly for extractions and accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
Can a removed tooth be replaced?
