Tooth Extractions & Oral Surgery in Hurstville

Gentle, Skilled Care for Tooth Removal at Forest Road Dental

At Forest Road Dental, our priority is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when an extraction is necessary—or if it's the best solution for your situation—we ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Our dentists are highly experienced in providing both simple and surgical extractions, using advanced rotary instruments and techniques designed to minimise discomfort and reduce chair time.

We also welcome second opinions, especially for patients who have been told they need to see a specialist for an extraction. In many cases, our dentists can remove teeth safely and gently under local anesthesia, avoiding the need for more complex or costly procedures under general anesthesia.

Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be removed, including:

  • Severe decay or infection

  • Trauma or fractures

  • Advanced gum disease

  • Orthodontic reasons (e.g., overcrowding)

  • Problematic or impacted wisdom teeth

While our goal is always to save teeth through restorative options such as fillings, crowns, or root canals, tooth extractions are sometimes the most appropriate option—especially when more complex treatments aren’t feasible or desired.

We recommend regular dental check-ups to detect and address issues early—often avoiding the need for extractions altogether.

Comfortable, Modern Extractions

To maximise your comfort, we use numbing gel prior to administering local anaesthetic, so even the initial injection is more comfortable.

  • Greater precision

  • Faster procedure times

  • Less trauma to surrounding tissues

  • A smoother, more pleasant recovery

Our dentists perform both simple and complex extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, all in the comfort of our Hurstville clinic.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Hurstville

Wisdom teeth are the last to emerge and often lack space to erupt properly, which can lead to:

  • Pain and pressure

  • Infection or swelling

  • Difficulty cleaning

  • Tooth crowding

We can assess whether your wisdom teeth require removal and perform the procedure gently under local anesthesia. Impacted wisdom teeth that are partially or fully stuck in the gum or bone can also be treated safely in-house.

Emergency Tooth Extractions & Same-Day Appointments

Tooth pain, cracked teeth, or sudden swelling? We offer emergency and same-day extractions whenever possible. Prompt care reduces infection risk and helps you get back to feeling comfortable sooner.

Tooth Extraction Costs in Hurstville

Costs vary depending on the tooth’s position and the complexity of the extraction:

  • Simple extractions: $250 – $400

  • Surgical/wisdom tooth extractions: $450 – $900

  • Dental implants (if replacing the tooth): $3,000 – $5,000 including crown

We accept most health funds, offer on-the-spot claiming via HICAPS, and can help you access flexible payment options including Afterpay and Zip Pay.

Our team will walk you through the best long-term options based on your individual needs and budget.
