The Treatment Plan
There are many reasons a tooth may require extraction, including issues like baby teeth that have difficulty falling out, the need for extractions in orthodontic treatment, or removal due to pain or infection.
A dental extraction typically requires just one office visit and is performed by a dentist. Here’s what you can expect:
Looking for Solutions
While extraction may seem like the only option, there may be other ways to relieve your pain while saving the tooth. Our goal is to keep you healthy, relieve any discomfort, and preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. We will assess your situation and discuss your options before proceeding with any removal.
The Removal Process
Depending on your and the dentist’s preference, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the area. Sedation may also be offered if necessary. Our approach is minimally invasive to ensure that the extraction is as gentle and comfortable as possible, promoting a quick recovery.
Feeling Better
After the procedure, you will receive clear aftercare instructions on how to care for your mouth during healing, what to expect, and what to do in case of any complications. We’re happy to schedule a follow-up appointment to address any further concerns you may have.
Cost of a Dental Extraction in Winnipeg
The cost of dental extractions can vary based on several factors. With a typical insurance plan, the cost usually ranges from $100 to $200+ out of pocket. If you don’t have insurance, the cost can range from $200 to $600+ per tooth. We would be happy to provide you with an estimate to submit to your insurance provider so you can better understand your out-of-pocket costs.
Types of Dental Extractions and Their Costs:
Simple Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction is performed on teeth that are visible and accessible. This procedure is typically done by a general dentist using local anesthesia. Simple extractions without complications tend to cost less.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
A surgical extraction is more complex, required for teeth that are not easily seen or reached. This could be due to the tooth being impacted, not fully erupted, or broken off at the gum line. Surgical extractions require more expertise, careful consideration, and may incur higher costs.

Wisdom teeth do not need to be removed unless they become impacted, infected, or cause pain, discomfort, or alignment issues with other teeth. Removal is often considered when these problems arise.
We prioritize your comfort during the extraction process. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, discomfort is minimized. Sedation options are also available if needed. After the procedure, we’ll provide aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
You can eat about an hour after the procedure, once the gauze has been removed. Stick to soft foods for the first 24 hours, and avoid hot foods and drinking from straws to avoid complications.
We will give you tailored aftercare instructions, but here are some general guidelines:
- Avoid spitting, mouth rinsing, blowing your nose, using a straw, and smoking within the first 24 hours.
- Don’t touch the extraction site with your fingers or tongue.
- Avoid hot foods and drinks.
- Avoid aspirin as it may affect blood clotting.
