Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved through decay, fracture, advanced gum disease or to make room for other treatment. The dentist carries out the extraction under local anaesthetic and provides clear aftercare advice to support healing. Cost depends on how straightforward the tooth is to remove, and options for replacing the missing tooth can be discussed at the same visit.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is too damaged or diseased to be restored — for example through extensive decay, a deep fracture, advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth, or as part of preparing the mouth for dentures or orthodontic treatment. While the clinic's general approach is to save natural teeth where possible, extraction is sometimes the most sensible option for comfort and long-term oral health. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, which is included at no additional cost, so the area is fully numbed during treatment. A straightforward (simple) extraction of a visible, accessible tooth sits at the lower end of the price range, while teeth that are more firmly rooted, broken at the gum line or otherwise awkward to remove take longer and are priced toward the upper end. After the tooth is removed the dentist gives detailed aftercare instructions to help the socket heal and to reduce the risk of complications such as a dry socket. Replacing a missing tooth — with an implant, a bridge or a denture — can be planned during the same consultation so you understand the full pathway. On-site 3D imaging is available where the tooth position or roots need closer assessment before removal, and the clinic's standard warranty applies to its work.
