At 1Health, we understand that the prospect of a tooth extraction can cause significant anxiety. Whether you require a routine extraction to prevent structural overcrowding or need an emergency procedure due to severe decay or physical trauma, our experienced Christchurch clinical team prioritises your comfort and safety.

What This Video Covers
Take a few minutes to watch our video walkthrough before your appointment. Dr Jennifer explains the process, technology, and anatomical safety checks behind a standard tooth removal:
- Simple Versus Complex Extractions: Understanding why straightforward front teeth with single roots differ from back molars that feature multiple curved roots.
- Wisdom Teeth Operations: Clarifying why wisdom teeth are treated as a special case and why they can sometimes require a minor surgical operation.
- Anatomical Safety Checks: How nearby structures, such as the sinus cavities and facial nerves, are carefully mapped out using advanced clinical X-rays.
- Specialist Referral Pathways: Why our clinic conducts a thorough pre-extraction risk assessment to determine if your case is best managed in-house or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Our primary goal across Canterbury is to keep you entirely safe, comfortable, and fully informed at every single step of your dental care journey.
