When is tooth extraction necessary?
Our first priority is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible. However, extraction may be the best option if you have:
- Severe decay or infection that can’t be treated with a filling or root canal
- Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
- Impacted or overcrowded wisdom teeth
- Broken teeth that can’t be restored
- Orthodontic reasons requiring space for alignment
When extraction is needed, we use precise digital imaging and gentle techniques to minimise discomfort and protect surrounding bone and tissue.
For impacted wisdom teeth, visit our dedicated Wisdom Tooth Removal page.
The tooth extraction services we offer
- Routine tooth extractions
- Surgical extractions
- Socket preservation
- Sedation services
The extraction process: What to expect
- Comprehensive consultation, including X-rays and treatment planning.
- Anaesthesia or sedation, tailored to your comfort level.
- Precise tooth removal, using modern, minimally invasive methods.
- Aftercare and recovery guidance to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
We’ll also discuss replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore your smile once healing is complete.
Recovery and aftercare
Healing typically takes around 7–10 days. To support recovery:
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Eat soft foods such as yoghurt, soup, or mashed potatoes
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 48 hours
- Brush gently and rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours
- Contact us if you experience severe pain or prolonged bleeding
Our team will provide full written and verbal aftercare instructions before you leave.
Teeth extraction FAQs
Your dentist will first identify the need for an extraction during a check-up or another treatment. A dedicated consultation will then be arranged, including X-rays, to assess your tooth and surrounding bone. This helps us plan the safest, most comfortable approach for your extraction and discuss replacement options such as dental implants or bridges.
No. The area is completely numbed using modern local anaesthetic. You might feel slight pressure but not pain. For nervous patients or complex extractions, we also offer sedation options to make the procedure calm and stress-free. Most patients describe the experience as far easier than expected.
Recovery usually takes about 7–10 days. You may experience mild tenderness or swelling for the first few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote fast healing, including advice on pain relief, hygiene, and what to eat or avoid. Most people return to normal activities within a week.
You should stick to soft foods such as soup, mashed potatoes, or yoghurt for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods until the area has healed. It’s also best to avoid using a straw, as suction can dislodge the blood clot that helps your gum heal.
Leaving an infected or impacted tooth untreated can lead to pain, swelling, gum disease, and damage to nearby teeth. Infection can even spread to the jawbone or other parts of the body. Timely extraction prevents complications and helps maintain good oral and overall health.
If you lose a tooth, you don’t have to live with a gap. We offer natural-looking replacements such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures. These restore both function and appearance, helping you chew comfortably and maintain a confident smile. Your dentist will recommend the best solution for your needs.
Yes. If you’re in pain, we offer same-day emergency appointments for urgent extractions. Our Islington dental team is equipped to handle sudden infections, severe decay, or broken teeth quickly and safely. We’ll relieve your pain, treat the cause, and guide you on recovery and replacement options.
