A tooth extraction removes a tooth that’s too damaged, decayed or crowded to be saved by other treatment. It’s always a last resort, considered only once other options have been ruled out. Carried out under local anaesthetic, we’ll also talk through replacement options such as a bridge, denture or implant if you need one.
A tooth extraction removes a tooth that can’t be saved by a filling, crown or root canal, because of extensive decay, damage, infection or overcrowding. It’s considered only once other treatment options have been ruled out, and is carried out under local anaesthetic.
We confirm extraction is the right option, taking an X-ray to see the tooth’s roots and surrounding bone.
Under local anaesthetic, the tooth is carefully loosened and removed. More complex cases are booked as a planned surgical appointment.
Mild swelling or discomfort in the days after is common. We explain how to care for the socket while it heals, and talk through replacement options such as a bridge, denture or implant if you want one.

Yes. We only recommend extraction once other options, such as a filling, crown or root canal, have been ruled out or the tooth is too damaged to save.
Mild swelling or discomfort in the days after an extraction is common. We’ll explain how to care for the socket while it heals, and what to avoid in the first 24 hours.
Depending on your case, a missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, a bridge or a denture. We’ll talk through what suits you once the area has healed.

An impacted wisdom tooth has no room to come through fully. NICE and the NHS say one causing no problems is usually left and checked, but the Royal College of Surgeons says some may be better removed sooner.
A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection in a tooth or gum. The NHS says it will not go away on its own and needs urgent treatment by a dentist. It is often painful, but not always.
Restorative dentistry means repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones. It includes fillings, crowns, root canals, gum disease care, bridges, dentures and implants. Your dentist can explain which suit you.
Book a consultation so we can confirm extraction is really needed, and what your replacement options are afterwards.
