In most cases, this is because a tooth or teeth have become decayed or damaged beyond the point of repair, and to help preserve the health of the surrounding neighbouring teeth. Other situations in which tooth extraction might be recommended to you include overcrowding of the mouth, impacted or infected wisdom teeth, and a loose tooth that cannot be repaired.
If a tooth is broken or buried beneath the gum line – such as an impacted wisdom tooth – then a surgical extraction will be necessary. Simple extractions, where a local anaesthetic is applied and the tooth is gently removed using forceps, can usually be carried out in all other situations. We know tooth extraction can be daunting for some patients, but our team are compassionate and gentle as well as extremely skilled and will make sure you’re pain-free and comfortable throughout.
If necessary and provided the complexity of extraction is not too problematic, we are able to offer surgical extractions at 23 Dental.
