Tooth Extraction

Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best step towards protecting your overall oral health.

If you have persistent tooth pain, swelling, or damage beyond repair, book a consultation today on 01892 782 300 so we can help you find the right solution.

When is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

Tooth extraction may be recommended when:
• A tooth is too damaged to repair due to decay or trauma.
• There is overcrowding before orthodontic treatment.
• An infection has spread beyond the tooth.
• Impacted wisdom teeth are causing pain or risk of damage to neighbouring teeth.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, often erupt in the late teens or early twenties. In some cases, they come through without issues, but for many patients, they can grow at awkward angles, become trapped under the gum (impacted), or cause repeated infections. Our dentists can assess your wisdom teeth with X-rays and discuss whether removal would benefit your oral health.

Types of Tooth Extraction & Fees

We provide:

• Simple Tooth Extraction: For teeth that are fully visible and easier to remove.
• Complex Tooth Extraction: For teeth that may be broken, impacted, or require surgical access.

Your dentist will explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you may have, and provide guidance on aftercare to aid in your healing.

Aftercare and Recovery

Following an extraction, you may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days. We’ll give you clear instructions on caring for the area, such as avoiding strenuous activity, eating softer foods, and keeping the area clean to prevent infection. Most patients recover well within a week.
