Tooth Extractions
...comfortable treatment when you need it.
Although our priority is always to save your natural teeth wherever possible, there are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest long-term option. Our experienced team provides gentle, comfortable tooth extractions with clear advice before, during and after your treatment.

When a tooth can't be saved, we'll remove it as comfortably and carefully as possible.
A tooth may need to be removed because of severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease, a fractured tooth or overcrowding. Before recommending an extraction, we'll always discuss every suitable option to save the tooth where appropriate. If removal is the best solution, we'll make the procedure as comfortable as possible using modern techniques and effective local anaesthetic. The vast majority of tooth extractions we carry out are straightforward extractions, accounting for approximately 95% of cases. Occasionally, if a tooth is badly broken down, fractured beneath the gum or difficult to remove safely, a surgical extraction may be required instead. If this is the case, we'll explain everything clearly before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
