For fast relief from a tooth that’s bothering you, book an appointment for a tooth extraction procedure at Toorak Dental Studio.

NEW TO TOORAK DENTAL STUDIO? DISCOVER OUR IDEOLOGY OF CARE
Sometimes tooth extraction or infected tooth removal is unavoidable, and we understand that many patients are concerned about the pain or discomfort that could be involved with the procedure.
It’s natural to feel pressure during the removal of a tooth, but the intensity depends on the type of extraction needed and your own pain threshold. We can minimise discomfort using local anaesthesia to numb the area, and sedation anaesthesia is available to help patients relax. Speak to your dentist if you’re feeling concerned or anxious.
There are three types of tooth extraction procedures: simple, sectional and surgical tooth extractions.
A surgical extraction is the most complicated of the three; it involves the removal of teeth that are not visible (i.e. below the gum line.) An extraction specialist or oral surgeon will need to make an incision in the gum, and use a tool to remove bone tissue to loosen and remove the tooth. This type of extraction may require a general anaesthetic, depending on its complexity.
Following a dentist tooth removal, it’s natural to experience bleeding and clotting within a few minutes. Some patients may experience post-extraction bleeding which can last 8-12 hours; call your dentist and arrange an emergency appointment if this happens.
Reduce any post-treatment stress by following our aftercare instructions. This might include taking pain killers at the recommended dose, using an ice pack for limited periods of time, and biting down on gauze for 1-2 hours after your appointment.
Not all adults require tooth removal before they can start the teeth straightening process, though this isn’t uncommon. Following an oral examination, we may advise on having one or more teeth removed before we measure you for braces. This could be because your mouth is overcrowded, a tooth is severely damaged or you have severe overbite.
Every patient is different and if we can find an alternative to tooth extraction, we will. We’ll create a tailored treatment plan to ensure your orthodontic treatment is a complete success.

Do you need to have a tooth extracted?
If your tooth is severely decayed or damaged, and the trauma cannot be addressed with fillings or sealants, your dentist may advise surgical extraction. Similarly, an infection or an overcrowded mouth can mean that removing one or multiple teeth is the best option. Just ignoring the problem can make it worse, so book a consultation with Toorak Dental Studio’s friendly staff to diagnose and treat any oral complaints.
Personal care for our anxious patients
It’s of paramount importance that our patients feel calm during their dentist visits, and we go above and beyond to deliver a friendly, warm and sympathetic service. If you feel particularly anxious about surgical tooth extraction, this is completely normal, and we can offer tailored solutions to ease your nerves and ensure your experience is as smooth and comfortable as it can be.

The staff are all so friendly and helpful and patient with all my questions. My day renewing my veneers was a pleasure, the staff were so considerate of my experience with a lovely private room, lunch and pampering that made my day so relaxing. Should have brought my Ugg boots.

Thankyou for the wonderful smile results, re-aligning my teeth and replacing my 20 year old bridges with new ceramic porcelain bridges. Throughout the process I was treated with care and kindness by the whole team. Dr Julie had great vision and has created a much improved smile with the technical brilliance of Julianna and assisted brilliantly by Jess, and with the helpful front desk and smiling faces of Bri and Elaine. On the 'whole day appointment' between sessions I was treated to lunch from a local cafe and a lovely massage and pedicure by Dana. Dana was outstanding. Emily also did a great job improving the colour, thankyou.
The studio is calming, clean and professional. Whilst the lower teeth continue the invisalign process, I'm thrilled with the outcome of the top and how the smile looks now.
I hope I haven't missed anyone, as the whole team were amazing to deal with and everyone I interacted with were kind, friendly, professional and supportive. Highly recommend.

Dr. Julie is not only highly skilled but also takes the time to explain everything in detail, which shows her genuine care for her patients.She doesn’t just rush through appointments; she listens, provides options, and works with you to create a plan that’s best for your needs. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and make every visit feel personal. Dr Julie is the most Professional Dentist I have seen and met.

I did my crown with another dentist which he did a very bad job, the dentist who did my crown did not bother to check after or at least be a listener! I went back twice about the pain.
He told me it could take sometime to settle, telling me to give it more time. A year later, I still feel the pain whenever I eat?? I gave up and went to another dentist.
Now, at Toorak Dental Studio, Dr Julie checked, X-ray, and she found the problem. My crown wasn't "placed" properly, that's a gap between my crown and tooth which is why I have the pain over the year.
Anyhow, she fixed my problem within a day. The crown had to be replaced, I don't have to wait for weeks (no temporary crown, the clinic can do a 3D crown within the day).
I stop going to my old dentist and I decided to give this new dental clinic a try, I did my 1st hygenic checked which I had a little gum issues, the hygenist was friendly and attend to my problems patiently.
I also had some tooths sealing and a tooth filling with Dr Julie recently. I'm like most people, dentist and pain is a nightmare to me, but she did a great job..

My treatment with Dr Julie Ghaly was undoubtedly the most professional, welcoming and painless experience I’ve ever had and her quality of dentistry is exceptional. As someone who’s typically nervous about dental work, I was amazed by how comfortable she made me feel, especially during the numbing process, which was completely painless. Her attention to detail, kindness and expertise truly stand out. I highly recommend Dr. Ghaly to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dentist!

I am starting my treatment next week. The TMJ issue only became real to me a few years ago. The headaches were accompanied by ear pain and a clicking sound in my jaw. Just one consultation with Dr Julie Ghaly was eye-opening. I am so excited!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Julie! She truly transformed my smile with the most beautiful dental veneers, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, Dr. Julie made me feel comfortable and confident in the process.
Her attention to detail and dedication to perfection are unmatched. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and gave me a smile that looks natural yet absolutely stunning. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also has such a warm and caring personality that made every visit a pleasure.
If you’re considering veneers or any dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Julie. She is an absolute artist and a true professional. Thank you, Dr. Julie, for giving me a smile I’m proud to show off!
