Tooth Extractions

Sometimes the best way to protect your long-term oral health is to remove a tooth that’s beyond repair. At Owlsmoor Dental Practice, we understand that extractions can feel daunting, that’s why our experienced team focuses on making the process as comfortable, calm, and pain-free as possible.

When Might You Need an Extraction?

• Severe tooth decay or infection that can’t be saved with a filling or root canal
• Advanced gum disease causing tooth looseness
• A broken or fractured tooth beyond repair
• Wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing pain
• Overcrowding, as part of orthodontic treatment

What to Expect

We’ll always start with a thorough examination and, where needed, an X-ray to assess the tooth and surrounding bone. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and discuss sedation or anaesthetic options before we begin. Most simple extractions take just a few minutes, using local anaesthetic so you feel little to no discomfort.

Aftercare Support

We’ll give you clear, simple aftercare instructions to support healing, including guidance on managing any swelling, what to eat, and how to keep the extraction site clean. Our team is always on hand if you have questions during recovery.

Nervous About Extractions?

You’re not alone — many patients feel anxious about tooth removal. We take the time to talk through the procedure step by step, and offer a calm, judgement-free environment throughout your visit.
