When a tooth cannot be saved, our team performs extractions gently and efficiently. We prioritise your comfort throughout—from local anaesthesia to clear aftercare instructions that support fast healing.
Simple and surgical extractions
Most extractions are straightforward and completed in a single visit. For impacted or broken teeth—especially wisdom teeth—we use surgical techniques and, where needed, 3D CBCT imaging to plan the safest approach.
Wisdom tooth removal
Not all wisdom teeth need removing, but when they cause pain, infection, crowding, or decay, extraction may be recommended. We assess position, root anatomy, and proximity to nerves before advising on treatment.
Socket preservation
If you plan to replace an extracted tooth with a dental implant, socket preservation can maintain bone volume at the extraction site—making future implant placement more predictable.
Aftercare
- Bite on gauze as instructed to control bleeding
- Avoid rinsing, spitting, and drinking through straws for 24 hours
- Soft foods and gentle cleaning around the site
- Contact us if pain, swelling, or bleeding increases after the first day
IV sedation is available for anxious patients or complex surgical cases—ask at booking if you would like a sedation consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is extraction painful?
The area is fully numbed before treatment. IV sedation is available for anxious patients.
How long does recovery take?
Most simple extractions heal within one to two weeks. Surgical sites may take slightly longer—we provide tailored aftercare advice.
When can I have an implant after extraction?
Timing depends on bone quality and healing. Sometimes an implant can be placed at the same visit; otherwise we wait three to six months.
