Some people cope better with a procedure once they can see all of it laid out. If you live in St. Andrews and a tooth may have to go, this page follows the whole path, from your first call to our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg through to deciding about the space.
Let's find a time
Think of an extraction as a series of stages, not one event. A decision comes first, built on an examination and X-ray. Removal follows if that remains the sensible choice, then a stretch of healing, and finally a conversation about whether the space should be filled.
St. Andrews is outside the City of Winnipeg, so each stage may mean arranging your day around a trip in. Nobody can give an exact count until the tooth has been examined, but once you know the stages, you will know which questions to raise and when.
Explore tooth extractions
Findings from the exam and X-ray show whether keeping this tooth is a realistic plan.
Freezing comes first, and the method depends on how the tooth sits and how its roots are shaped.
Filling the gap is not always recommended, yet it deserves a conversation either way.
Could this tooth be kept with a predictable result? Answering that takes in cracks, infection, bite forces, remaining structure, gum and bone support, and what you want from treatment.
Your path may turn away from removal altogether, toward one of several ways of preserving the tooth.
A range of problems can end at this same point, and the reason matters when you look ahead to later stages.
Whichever way this goes, ask to have the reasoning explained in terms that make sense to you before you agree to anything.
Your tooth’s position, its root shape, the surrounding bone and how much of it can be seen will all influence the details of this stage.
Request your visitTogether, you and the team go over health history, medications, allergies and X-rays, and agree on exactly which tooth is planned.
After local anesthetic goes in, your comfort gets tested before anything further happens.
Expect pressure and movement as the tooth comes free. A small incision or dividing the tooth is sometimes required.
Cleaning comes next, along with bleeding control, then gauze or sutures where they suit the case.
You leave with written aftercare and a clear idea of which symptoms deserve a phone call.
It helps to think in stages when looking at your calendar. Some dates can only be filled in after the examination, and that is normal, so leave them flexible for now. Asking early still gives you a clearer sense of what to hold open.
Your answers may shift once your dentist has seen the tooth, so treat early estimates as a starting point.

Uncertainty often weighs more than the procedure does. Keeping track of which stage you have reached, and what comes after it, can make the whole thing feel more manageable.
At any moment in your appointment, it is fine to ask which step is coming up.
Sharp pain is not expected once you are frozen, so let your dentist know right away if you notice any.
A single folder for your written instructions and questions means less hunting around later.
Stage three begins at home
Gum tissue begins to heal over days to weeks, while the socket and bone go on changing for longer. Complexity, tooth location, general health and smoking all influence the pace, and your own written sheet outranks anything general.
Bite on gauze the way you were shown. Keep meals soft and no warmer than lukewarm, chewing on the other side.
Straws, smoking, vaping and hard spitting are off the list for as long as your dentist specified, since losing the clot can cause dry socket.
Things ought to be improving. Phone us if pain climbs after a few days, or about fever, drainage, a bad taste, growing swelling, unusual numbness or stubborn bleeding.
Trouble breathing or swallowing is a matter for emergency medical care, not a clinic appointment.

Helpful details about tooth extractions in St. Andrews.
Ask our teamThat varies from one tooth to the next. Your examination, the removal method and any replacement decision all shape the total, so raise it once your dentist has the findings in front of them.
The gum generally recovers over days to weeks, and deeper changes in the socket and bone carry on beyond that. How involved the removal was and your general health can alter this.
No fixed rule applies. A conversation can take place before or after removal, depending on your bite, the teeth you have left, appearance and your long-term plans.
It can. New findings may alter what is recommended, and the approach during removal sometimes needs adjusting, so keep a little give in your calendar.
Your own procedure, the kind of work you do and how you feel afterward all play a part. Set aside time to rest right after, and ask your dentist for guidance suited to your case.
Phone (204) 338-3003 or fill in the request form here, then wait for the clinic’s reply before settling your plans. Anything urgent should go by phone instead of the form.
Depending on your findings, one of these treatments could become part of your path, either in place of removal or after it.
