Tooth Extractions.
If a tooth needs to be removed, we’ll explain why, discuss alternatives and help you feel prepared.
A tooth may need to be removed if it cannot be restored, for example because of severe decay, damage or advanced gum disease. Removal may also be discussed as part of orthodontic care. We’ll examine the tooth, consider whether it can be saved and explain the options and what to expect before making a plan together.
A good place to start
Know what to expect at each step
- 01
Assess your tooth
We check the tooth and surrounding area, ask about your health and talk through suitable options.

Explain and remove
If extraction is appropriate, we use local anaesthetic. You may feel pressure, but tell us if you feel pain or need a pause.

Support recovery
We’ll explain how to care for the area, including gauze or stitches if these are needed, and when to contact us.
