Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved due to dental decay, severe gum disease, or traumatic injury.

Natural teeth are irreplaceable, which is why we make every effort to preserve and save them. Tooth extraction is only considered when the tooth is unsalvageable, based on factors such as the amount of tooth structure that can support a filling or crown and the level of bone and gum support to withstand infection.

We always discuss replacement options for missing teeth prior to extraction, ensuring that you are fully informed about the process. These options include doing nothing and monitoring the area, using dentures, bridges, or implants. To avoid leaving a gap, we may even create a temporary denture or bridge before extraction, which can be immediately placed following the procedure.

Dental extractions can be painless with the use of local anaesthetic, which will numb the area. We prioritise your comfort and will not proceed with the procedure if you are experiencing pain. Our goal is to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during the extraction process.

In some cases, teeth may be impacted or stuck behind other teeth, particularly wisdom teeth. This can complicate matters, but rest assured that we have the latest diagnostic tools, surgical equipment, and expertise to make the experience as positive as possible.

We understand that dental extractions can be daunting, particularly for those who are anxious or nervous. For these patients, we discuss alternative options for removing the infected tooth.

After the tooth extraction, we will provide you with post-operative instructions and advice on how to properly care for the area.

We provide tooth extraction treatments at our dental clinic from £180 per tooth. Our treatment plans are customised to suit your needs and budget, ensuring that you receive affordable private dental care.
