Extractions

What it is

An extraction is the removal of a tooth. It's sometimes needed because of severe decay, damage, infection or crowding — and it's carried out to protect your wider oral health.

What to expect

• The area is numbed so you stay comfortable
• The tooth is carefully removed
• You're given clear aftercare advice to support healing

Good to know

Where possible, we'll always discuss whether a tooth can be saved before recommending removal — and talk through options to replace it afterwards, such as a bridge or implant.
