When is tooth extraction recommended?

Extraction may be recommended for overcrowding to support braces, non-restorable teeth with severe decay or deep cracks, repeated failed treatments such as root canals, problematic wisdom teeth, or as part of prosthetic planning for dentures, bridges or implants.

Who carries out tooth extractions at the practice?

Extractions are carried out by Dr Ahmer Ali or Dr Giedre Valantine, both of whom have a specialist interest and experience in complex extractions and surgical procedures.

Are tooth extractions pain-free?

Yes. Tooth extractions are performed under local anaesthetic to ensure the procedure itself is pain-free, with advice provided afterwards to support recovery.

How much does a tooth extraction cost?

Costs start from £99 for simple extractions, range from £200–£250 for complex cases, and £475 for surgical extractions such as wisdom tooth removal.

What is included in the tooth extraction appointment?

Appointments include diagnosis, the extraction procedure itself, and pain relief and aftercare advice following treatment.

What if I am unsure whether my tooth needs removing?

You can book an extended dental check-up for £72, which includes two X-rays. If the tooth can be saved, all alternative options will be explained before any decision is made.

What options are available after a tooth extraction?

If a tooth is removed, options to replace it can include dentures, bridges or dental implants. These options are discussed as part of long-term planning, and interest-free finance is available for replacement treatments.

When extraction is the right choice (not just for pain)

Tooth extraction near me
Patients can opt for tooth extraction for several different reasons. Booking one of our extended check-up examinations allows our dentists to assess your goals and recommend the simplest route.

Overcrowding for braces: Carefully planned removals with our dentists, as advised by an orthodontist, who has undergone advanced training to help our patients create more space in their mouths to align their teeth more successfully.
Non-restorable teeth: Sometimes, even our experienced dentists might not be able to save your tooth. In situations of severe decay or deep cracks where a filling or crown would not be successful, removal is often the best course of action to prevent repeated infections.
Repeated unsuccessful outcomes: If a root canal has failed, or re-treatment is not recommended, our dentists might recommend extraction for teeth that have a poor long-term outlook after undergoing multiple restorative treatments.
Problem wisdom teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth, pressure pain, lack of space or repeated infections might require tooth extraction.
Prosthetic planning: In some instances, our prosthetic dentists might recommend removing a failing tooth to improve the fit, function or timing of a denture, bridge or dental implant.

Unsure if it needs removing? Book a check-up £58 (includes two X-rays). If we can save the tooth, we will. Call 01829 741284.

Tooth extraction costs

What’s included: Diagnosis, the procedure, and pain-relief advice afterwards. 12-month interest-free dental finance (or interest-bearing terms up to 60 months) is available for patients who wish to spread the cost of tooth-replacement procedures, such as dental implants.

Save it or remove it?

If the crack or decay is manageable and the tooth is strong enough to survive once crowned, you can opt for a root canal and crown to save the tooth.
It’s typically best to opt for an extraction if dental advice concludes that the tooth is not fixable, i.e., it keeps flaring up, causing you issues and pain, crowds your smile, or is part of your overall plan for braces, dentures, or implants.

If you do decide on tooth removal, you don’t have to worry about a gap being left visible in your smile.

While some patients may prefer to ignore a back-tooth gap, those who are uncomfortable with the appearance of tooth loss or wish to restore bite balance can consider options such as dentures, bridges, or dental implants.

The process

What happens on the day

Tooth extraction procedures can sound frightening - especially if you’re a nervous patient. But on the day, you’ll be completely numbed, where you’ll only feel pressure, not pain.

In simple extractions, the teeth tend to come out easily without issue. In cases of complex roots, extractions can take a little longer and may require a small stitch to close afterwards. But you’ll leave our clinic with simple aftercare notes and a direct number to call if anything worries you.

Recovery following extraction

Most patients will return to normal within 24-48 hours, experiencing only slight discomfort after the procedure, which can be easily alleviated with over-the-counter medications.

After one week, the gums will completely settle and you’ll be used to the new gap in the mouth - but during recovery, it’s important not to run your tongue over the spot to not dislodge the clot.

Aftercare instructions

Day 0 (today): No hot drinks, alcohol, smoking/vaping or strenuous exercise. Don’t rinse today.
Day 1-2: Rinse gently after meals with warm salty water. Eat soft foods; chew on the other side. Brush as usual, but avoid the socket.
