Is ToothExtractionRight for You?
An extraction may be recommended if you have:
- A severely decayed tooth that cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
- A broken or fractured tooth beyond repair
- An impacted wisdom tooth
- Recurrent infection or swelling
- Overcrowding requiring orthodontic treatment
Whenever possible, we always aim to preserve your natural teeth before recommending extraction.
What Is Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved due to extensive damage, infection, or other dental concerns.
Extractions may be:
- Simple Extractions – For teeth that are fully visible and can be removed without surgery.
- Surgical Extractions – For teeth that are impacted, broken below the gum line, or require a more advanced procedure, such as many wisdom teeth.
Did You Know?
Wisdom teeth often become impacted because there isn’t enough space for them to erupt properly. Early assessment can help prevent pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
- Pain or swelling
- Infection around the tooth
- Damage to neighbouring teeth
- Difficulty cleaning the area
- Recurrent gum problems
If required, we perform surgical wisdom tooth removal using modern techniques to maximise comfort and support a smooth recovery.

Tooth Extraction Process
Step 1 – Examination & Diagnosis
We assess the tooth and determine whether extraction is the most appropriate treatment.
Step 2 – Comfortable Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia is administered to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
Step 3 – Tooth Removal
The tooth is gently removed using either a simple or surgical technique, depending on its position and condition.
Step 4 – Site Care
The extraction site is cleaned, and additional measures such as stitches may be used when required.
Step 5 – Recovery & Follow-Up
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and minimise the risk of complications.

Common Questions About ToothExtractions
Is tooth extraction painful?
No. Local anaesthesia is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some mild discomfort after treatment is normal and can usually be managed with prescribed medication and home care.
When does a wisdom tooth need to be removed?
Removal may be recommended if the wisdom tooth is impacted, causing pain, recurrent infection, damaging neighbouring teeth, or affecting your oral health.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover well within a few days, although surgical wisdom tooth removal may take slightly longer to heal completely.
Will I need stitches?
Some surgical extractions require stitches, while many simple extractions do not. Your dentist will explain what is needed for your treatment.
What should I eat after an extraction?
Soft foods are generally recommended for the first few days. We will provide personalised aftercare instructions to support a comfortable recovery.
