As a team of trusted dentists, we don’t recommend extracting teeth unless necessary, but occasionally, it’s in the Patient’s best interests.

Thankfully, if you need a tooth extraction, either a troublesome wisdom tooth or a normal tooth that is beyond repair, you’re in safe and experienced hands. Your comfort, safety and well-being are always our top concern.

Gentle Tooth Removal – What To Expect

As already stated, our main aim is to save a tooth, but sometimes this just isn’t possible if it’s got to the stage where removal is necessary. Here’s an idea of what you can expect…

• The administration of a local anaesthetic to make you feel comfortable. For nervous or anxious patients, we can also administer light sedation to help them feel relaxed.
• The use of specialised instruments designed to remove the tooth quickly and comfortably.
• The disinfecting of the empty tooth socket cleanses the area and keeps it free from bacteria.
• Biting down on a piece of gauze until that all-important blood clot has formed. Clots form a protective barrier and prevent painful conditions like dry sockets.

Essentially, patients shouldn’t feel anything other than some slight pressure as the tooth is gently rocked backwards and forwards to release it from the socket. In most cases, simple tooth extractions at our Earls Court practice are completed within a few minutes.
