Tooth extraction
Removal of a tooth only when it cannot be saved, with clear aftercare and replacement options.
We do not remove a tooth because it is the quickest option. We first check whether a root canal, crown or repair can save it. When extraction is the safer choice, the appointment is planned around your comfort, the tooth's position and what comes next. You leave knowing how to care for the site and whether a bridge, denture or gap is the right plan.
This may be for you if
- A tooth that is too broken or infected to repair
- A wisdom tooth causing pain, swelling or crowding
- A baby tooth that is not falling out on its own
- Severe pain when a root canal is not possible
What the appointment includes
- Examination and X-ray when needed
- Local anaesthesia and a comfort check before starting
- Simple or surgical extraction, planned for the tooth
- Bleeding control and written aftercare instructions
- A review of replacement options before you leave
How treatment is planned.
The steps are similar for most patients. The timeline and fee are confirmed in writing after examination.
- 01
Confirm the diagnosis
We check the tooth, the bone and the nearby structures, and explain why keeping it is not the safer option.
- 02
Plan the extraction
The approach depends on the tooth. We tell you what to expect and how long the appointment should take.
- 03
Remove gently
The area is numbed fully. We check comfort before starting and work in small, controlled steps.
- 04
Recover and replace
We control bleeding, explain eating and medication, and plan the next step if the gap needs replacing.
