When is a tooth extraction recommended?

Extractions are only recommended when a tooth cannot be saved or is causing ongoing problems. This may include wisdom teeth that are impacted, infected, or difficult to clean, as well as severely damaged or decayed teeth.

Common reasons include:

  • Painful or impacted wisdom teeth
  • Infection or abscess
  • Severe decay or damage
  • Overcrowding
  • Gum disease affecting tooth stability

Wisdom teeth explained

Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to emerge, usually during the late teens or early adulthood. In some cases, there isn’t enough space for them to come through properly, which can lead to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to neighbouring teeth.

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed — we’ll assess your situation carefully and only recommend treatment when it’s clinically necessary.

Our approach to extractions

We understand that the idea of having a tooth removed can be daunting. Our focus is on making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

  • Thorough assessment and digital imaging if needed
  • Clear explanation of options and aftercare
  • Gentle techniques and appropriate pain control
  • Referrals to a specialist when required

Feeling anxious about treatment?

Many patients feel nervous about extractions — especially wisdom teeth removal. We take the time to listen, explain each step, and ensure you feel informed and supported throughout your visit.

You’re always in control, and we’ll never proceed without your consent.

FAQs

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some discomfort after treatment is normal, and we’ll provide clear aftercare guidance to support healing.

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

No. Wisdom teeth are only removed when they’re likely to cause problems or affect oral health.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies depending on the complexity of the extraction. We’ll explain what to expect and how to care for the area after treatment.

Will I need a referral?

Some extractions can be completed in the clinic, while others may require referral to a specialist. We’ll guide you through the best option.

How much does an extraction cost?

Costs depend on the tooth and complexity of treatment. We’ll discuss fees and options before proceeding.
