Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions can sound daunting, but at Abington Dental, we make the experience as gentle and stress-free as possible.

Tooth extraction simplified

• Removes a severely decayed, damaged, or infected tooth that can’t be restored.
• Performed under local anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience.
• Gentle and precise techniques protect the surrounding teeth and gums.
• Sedation is available for nervous patients.
• The area is cleaned and prepared for natural healing or future restoration (e.g., an implant or a denture).

Benefits of a tooth extraction

While saving a tooth is always our priority, sometimes removal is the healthiest option for your long-term oral wellbeing. Benefits include:

• Pain relief: Eliminates persistent infection and discomfort.
• Prevention: Stops infection from spreading to other teeth or gums.
• Protection: Safeguards your bite and overall oral health.
• Preparation: Creates a stable foundation for implants or dentures.

You may need an extraction if you experience:

• Severe tooth pain that doesn’t respond to treatment.
• Recurrent abscesses or infection.
• Advanced decay or gum disease.
• A broken tooth beyond repair.

Your treatment journey

• Step 1: Consultation – We examine your mouth using digital X-rays to assess the tooth’s position and root structure.
• Step 2: Preparation – Local anaesthetic ensures complete comfort. Sedation can be arranged if you’re anxious.
• Step 3: Extraction – Our dentists use gentle, precise techniques to minimise trauma and protect surrounding tissues.
• Step 4: Aftercare – The site is cleaned and dressed for healing. You’ll receive clear guidance for post-treatment care.
