Extractions

Here at Precision Dental Clinic our treating dentists are both qualified oral surgeons so you are in safe hands if you need a tooth extracted.

​

A tooth extraction is required if there are no other realistic options to prolong the life of a tooth.
 

Why do we need teeth extracted?

​

• Broken teeth beyond repair

• Decayed teeth that are unrestorable

• Mobile teeth due to gum disease

• Trauma

• Infection

• Impacted wisdom teeth

​

Tooth extractions can be a daunting thought however they are a relatively straightforward procedure. A tooth is extracted when it is beyond repair or has an infection causing pain.

​

On some occasions teeth require surgical removal if the tooth is broken below gum level or a wisdom tooth is extracted. Dental phobia can pose a serious problem for nervous patients needing dental treatment therefore we can offer conscious sedation to relax you during the treatment procedure.

​

During any extraction you will feel no pain just pressure being applied to the tooth can be manoeuvred out of position.

​

Once the tooth is extracted we will prevent any bleeding with small swabs and provide you with post-operative information verbally and in writing. Following an extraction th area needs to be kept clean of bacteria as a ‘dry’socket’ can form.

​

Unfortunately, once a tooth is extracted it can affect the function and appearance of your mouth and smile, if you would like to explore options for a tooth replacement you may consider a denture, bridge or dental implant
