Tooth extraction

When a tooth must go, it goes gently.

Plan and price first

Nothing begins until you agree to it.

Unhurried visits

Time to ask everything you want to ask.

HMO accepted

Nine partner health plans, billed for you.

Gentle by default

Say you're nervous and we pace it to you.

Extraction is always our last resort, but when a tooth is beyond saving, removing it well protects everything around it. We take the tooth gently under proper anaesthetic, manage the healing carefully, and plan what replaces it from day one, so a gap never becomes your long-term outcome.

This is for you if

  • A tooth is too damaged or decayed to restore
  • A wisdom tooth is causing pain or crowding
  • An infection keeps returning despite treatment

Step by step

How it works

  1. 1

    Honest assessment

    First we confirm the tooth truly can't be saved, and show you why. If it can be saved, we'll tell you.

  2. 2

    Gentle removal

    Under full local anaesthetic, the tooth is removed with modern, minimal-trauma techniques. You feel pressure, not pain.

  3. 3

    Healing, watched closely

    You leave with clear aftercare and our number. We check on you, so any discomfort gets dealt with quickly rather than endured.

  4. 4

    Replacing what's gone

    Then we plan what comes next: an implant, or nothing at all if that is genuinely the right answer for your mouth.

Honest answers

Is extraction painful?

The area is fully numbed before we begin. Afterwards, most people describe a dull ache for a day or two, managed with ordinary pain relief.

Do I have to replace an extracted tooth?

Not always, but back-tooth gaps let the neighbours drift and change your bite over time. We give you a straight answer for your specific case.

How long is the recovery?

Most people are back to normal within two to three days. The socket itself closes over in a couple of weeks, and we tell you exactly what to expect on each of them.

What can I eat afterwards?

Soft, cool food for the first day: pap, yoghurt, smooth soups, moi moi. Avoid hot drinks, straws and smoking for 24 hours, as all three disturb the clot that is healing the socket.

Can you remove wisdom teeth here?

Yes, straightforward wisdom teeth are removed in the clinic. If yours is deeply impacted and needs specialist surgical care, we will tell you plainly and refer you rather than attempt it.

What is dry socket, and should I worry?

It is when the healing clot is lost early, leaving the bone exposed and sore a few days later. It is uncommon, it is treatable in one short visit, and following the aftercare we give you makes it unlikely.
