Careful removal, when it's needed.
Gentle, expert extractions for teeth affected by decay, gum disease, trauma or overcrowding. When a tooth can't be saved, we remove it as comfortably as possible, with clear aftercare.
What are they?
An extraction removes a tooth that is damaged, infected, impacted or no longer viable, including teeth affected by severe decay, gum disease, trauma or crowding.
It's recommended when a tooth is damaged beyond repair, causing pain, or affecting the teeth around it. Common reasons include extensive decay, infection, impacted wisdom teeth and overcrowding.
The benefits
- Relieves pain from problematic teeth
- Stops infection from spreading
- Protects your overall oral health
- Opens the way for implants or dentures later
Your extraction, step by step.
Examination & X-rays
We examine the tooth and take X-rays where needed to plan the safest, gentlest removal.

Local anaesthetic keeps you comfortable throughout. Stitches may be placed in some cases.
Aftercare & healing
You'll leave with clear aftercare guidance. Most people heal quickly with minimal discomfort.
Common questions.
Does having a tooth removed hurt?
You shouldn't feel pain during the procedure thanks to local anaesthetic. Some tenderness afterwards is normal and manageable.
What is recovery like?
Recovery typically involves rest and soft foods for a few days. Most people heal quickly, and we'll book a follow-up if needed to check progress.
Do I need to replace the tooth afterwards?
Not always, but a gap can affect your bite over time. We'll talk you through implants, bridges and dentures so you can make an informed choice.
