Expert Tooth Removal in London
Sometimes a tooth must be removed when it has become loose, severely damaged, or cannot be restored due to decay or trauma. Removing a compromised tooth can significantly improve your oral health, allowing you to focus on maintaining the health of your remaining teeth and gums. Although we always prioritise preserving natural teeth, extraction is sometimes the only treatment that will ensure long-term dental stability.
At Fitzroy Dental Practice, we aim to make every tooth extraction quick, safe, and virtually pain free. Most extractions are carried out comfortably in the clinic under local anaesthetic, with clear aftercare advice to support a smooth recovery.
What Our Patients Say
Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Teeth may need to be removed for several reasons, including:
Severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling or crown
Major breakages caused by trauma or accidents
Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
Tooth failure following repeated root canal treatment
Periodontal disease that weakens the gums, bone, and tooth support
Teeth weakened by age
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
Each extraction is carefully planned. Patients who require multiple extractions, or who prefer treatment under general anaesthetic, can be referred to their nearest dental hospital.
Tooth Extraction Treatment Journey
Root canal treatment is typically completed over two or three visits and aims to clear infection while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.
1. Assessment and Consultation
Your dentist examines the affected tooth, reviews X-rays if needed, and discusses the reasons for extraction. A personalised treatment plan is prepared to ensure comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
2. Local Anaesthetic and Preparation
The area around the tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic. This ensures that the procedure is virtually pain-free, while your dentist carefully prepares the tooth and surrounding gums for extraction.
3. Tooth Extraction Procedure
The dentist removes the tooth using precise, gentle techniques. For complex cases, specialised tools or surgical methods may be used to ensure a smooth and safe extraction.
4. Aftercare and Recovery Guidance
Following the extraction, your dentist provides clear instructions for post-operative care, including managing swelling, preventing infection, and promoting healing for optimal recovery and comfort.
