Although we always aim to preserve natural teeth wherever possible, there are situations where tooth extraction may be the most appropriate option. This may be due to severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease or damage that cannot be repaired.
Before recommending an extraction, your dentist will explain why it may be needed and discuss any suitable alternative treatments. We believe it is important that you understand your options and feel comfortable with the recommended approach.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic to help keep you comfortable. Great care is taken to minimise trauma to the surrounding area and make the experience as calm and reassuring as possible.
Following the extraction, you will receive clear aftercare advice to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Where appropriate, we can also discuss replacement options to help restore function and appearance.
