General

Extraction

Overview

Extracting a tooth is a common dental procedure that is necessary when a tooth has been damaged beyond repair by decay, trauma, or disease. The process involves carefully removing the entire tooth, its root, and any surrounding tissue.

Before extracting a tooth, our dentist will take x-rays to assess the size and shape of the tooth and its root, the amount of surrounding bone, and the presence of any infection. This helps the dentist plan the best way to approach the extraction.

During the extraction, our dentist will use special instruments to loosen the tooth and carefully remove it from the socket. Once the tooth is removed, the dentist will clean the area to remove any debris and fragments. They may also pack the socket with a medicated dressing or stitch the area closed.

After the extraction, our dentist will provide instructions on how to care for the area and manage any discomfort.

F.A.Q

What is an extraction?

An extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from the mouth. Extractions are typically performed when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired or if it is impacted and unable to erupt properly.

What can I expect during my extraction appointment?

During your appointment, the dentist will begin by numbing the area around the tooth to be extracted. Next, they will use specialized instruments to loosen and remove the tooth. Finally, they may place stitches or packing material to protect the area and help it heal.

How long does it take to recover from an extraction?

Recovery time will vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. Generally, it will take several days for the area to heal completely. The dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions, including taking antibiotics, avoiding certain foods, and rinsing with a special mouthwash.

How can I avoid needing an extraction?

The best way to avoid needing an extraction is to practise good oral hygiene, visit the dentist regularly, and attend regular check-ups. If you maintain good oral hygiene, it is less likely that you will require an extraction.

Will I experience any pain after my extraction?

It is normal to experience some level of discomfort after an extraction. The dentist will provide pain medications to help manage pain or discomfort. They may also recommend using an ice pack to reduce swelling.

Are there any risks associated with extractions?

As with any dental procedure, there are risks associated with extractions. These risks include infection, nerve injury, and excessive bleeding.

What type of anaesthesia is used for extractions?

We use local anaesthesia, which numbs the area being treated.

What Should I Expect After The Procedure?

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling and tenderness in the area. Your dentist may provide you with a cold compress to reduce swelling and pain. You may also be prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection. It is important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

PRECIOUS MOMENTS

Have a look at some of the reviews our patients left, This can be you!

I have to praise the gentleman from Ukraine at the Chalton branch who worked on my root canal, what a wonderful job you done. tried to call the reception to pass on my feed back but have had no answer for a week just answer phone. they need a proper receptionist who can man the phones at all times.

A pleasure to work with as a supplier. A knowledgable, passionate group, dedicated to improving and growing their practices from a customer first perspective.

Brilliant service from St Albans staff Tahmina, Sarah, the lovely hygienist & her assistant_ A special thank you to Carla for her warm & caring attitude.

Very friendly staff, feel really like a family.

Very talented and extremely skillful dental surgeons and dental implant specialists. In a word, top-notch service with a very reasonable price. In terms of all the dental implant clinics, its really second to none!

Both the dental nurse and dentist were compassionate and caring. They made sure I was comfortable before carrying out any procedures, and spoke to me as I was a bit anxious about getting work done-
They were punctual, and managed to fit me in at the last minute. Easy to contact via WhatsApp, with quick response.

Been twice and both times the young dentist is extremely kind and reassuring. Had a tooth extraction today and was seamlessly done. My old dentist was quite rude and abrupt. I'm very glad to have found a dentist that takes pride in her work. Well done to all the team. Thank you so much.

Excellent Dentist, just had a emergency appointment for tooth ache and they managed to clean and put a fresh filling in rather than have the tooth extracted which was fantastic. the dentist and the assistant and the receptionist were all very professional and polite I cant praise them enough. A1 service and I thank you very much.

Absolutely fantastic service!! I have had teeth out (well roots) had a new denture the service has been second to none. I have a real fear/phobia of dentists I explained this they have been so understanding and supportive. Simon explained every step clearly so I knew what was happening and at what stage. I can't reccomend him enough.

The staff were very good professional and friendly. Very accomadating to work/school scheduals with appointments. Me and my children had a good experience in the surgery. Also with colouring facilities available it helped to keep the children occupied. The head nurse was amazing and went above and beyond to meet all our needs.

Very efficient dental surgery! Had a comprehensive check over followed by work on a broken crown! Professional staff from reception to dental staff with Eniko and her assistant (Christiana I think) making a fairly nervous patient feel at ease and cared for! My thanks.

Very caring and efficient receptionist. Thorough examination by dentist who is very understanding regarding your dental hygiene and which products are better for you.

So pleased to have a dentist that is thorough and explains all treatments available, and great advice on caring for teeth to avoid future problems

I've been using this dentist all my life so so good, never had any problem at all with treatment.

My first visit and was greeted by Receptionist with friendly smile. Very efficient in dealing with my future appointments. Very nice surroundings making me feel at ease. Would certainly recommend.
