Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that is too damaged, decayed or problematic to save, carried out by the clinic's oral-surgery team under local anaesthetic. Straightforward extractions are at the lower end of the price range, while surgical removal of impacted or wisdom teeth is more involved and priced accordingly. The clinic can discuss replacing the removed tooth, including immediate implant placement in suitable cases.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or is causing problems — for example, one that is severely broken down by decay, fractured below the gum, badly affected by gum disease, or an impacted wisdom tooth that is crowding or repeatedly becoming infected. At OrtoImplant Clinic extractions are handled by clinicians with surgical training, which is particularly relevant for more difficult cases. Simple extractions of fully erupted teeth are carried out under local anaesthetic by loosening and lifting the tooth from its socket, and sit at the lower end of the clinic's price range. Surgical extractions — most commonly impacted wisdom teeth, but also teeth that are broken at the gum line or have curved roots — may require a small incision and sectioning of the tooth, and are priced higher to reflect the additional work. The clinic uses its in-house imaging to assess root shape and the position of nearby nerves and the sinus before surgery. Afterwards you are given clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications such as a dry socket. Because removing a tooth leaves a gap that can allow neighbouring teeth to drift and the bone to shrink over time, the clinic can discuss replacement options at the same visit, including placing an implant immediately into the socket where conditions are suitable. The dentist always weighs extraction against treatments that might preserve the tooth and explains the reasoning and alternatives before proceeding.
