THE BASICS
When Is an Extraction Necessary?
Extraction is usually considered when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to restore, when advanced gum disease has caused significant looseness, when a wisdom tooth is impacted or causing repeated problems, or when a tooth needs to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatment.
We’ll always explain the reasoning behind a recommended extraction and discuss whether there’s a way to save the tooth first.
Local Anaesthetic Comfort
The area is fully numbed before any extraction begins.
Same-Day Assessment
X-rays and an honest evaluation of whether extraction is really the best option.
Replacement Options Discussed
We'll talk through implants, bridges, or dentures if you're missing a tooth afterwards.
YOUR OPTIONS
Types of Extraction
Simple Extraction
For a visible, accessible tooth, removed under local anaesthetic in a single appointment.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before the procedure, so you shouldn't feel pain during the extraction. Some soreness afterwards is normal and manageable with over-the-counter painkillers.
Initial healing usually takes one to two weeks, though the underlying bone and gum can take longer to fully settle.
Dry socket happens when the blood clot protecting the extraction site is dislodged too early. We'll give you clear aftercare instructions — including avoiding smoking, straws, and vigorous rinsing — to reduce this risk.
No — many wisdom teeth cause no problems at all and don't need removing. We only recommend extraction when a wisdom tooth is impacted, infected, or causing damage to neighbouring teeth.
Not always, but a gap can sometimes lead to shifting teeth or bite changes over time. We'll advise whether an implant, bridge, or denture is worth considering for your case.
Cost depends on whether it's a simple or surgical extraction — we'll confirm pricing after your assessment.
Soft, cool foods are best for the first day or so, avoiding the extraction site while it begins to heal — we'll give you full dietary guidance.
Please discuss any anxiety or sedation questions with us at consultation — we'll advise on the most appropriate options for your situation.
