Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions
Let's take out your tooth and plan next steps
Sometimes a tooth can’t be saved and that’s okay. Whether it’s infected, cracked or simply getting in the way, extraction is often the first step toward comfort and a healthier mouth. We’ll talk you through the process, keep you comfortable and make sure there’s a plan for what happens after.
When are tooth extractions needed?
We only recommend removing a tooth when there’s no reliable way to save it. That could be due to deep decay, infection, fracture, or crowding. If an extraction is needed, we’ll talk you through why, how it works, and what options are available for replacing the tooth, if needed.

Why choose a tooth extraction?
Stops pain, prevents infection
If a tooth is infected, broken or beyond saving, removing it can relieve pain fast — and stop the problem from spreading or getting worse.
Done gently and safely
We take time to numb the area fully and check in with you throughout. If you’re anxious, we offer sedation options to keep things calm.
Avoids damage to nearby teeth
When a tooth is infected or crowded, it can impact the ones beside it. Removing it early protects the rest of your mouth.
Supports long-term oral health
An extraction can be the first step in a bigger plan, to replace teeth, correct a bite or make space for healthy alignment.
Clear recovery plan
We give you clear, step-by-step recovery advice and stay in touch if you need help. Healing isn’t rushed, we go at your pace.
Prevents major issues in future
An untreated tooth can lead to more damage, infection or bone loss. Taking it out now helps avoid more complex treatment later.
