Not every tooth will come out with a straightforward lift. Some are impacted, some have broken away beneath the gum, and others sit at an angle that calls for a more considered, surgical approach. At Netherton Dental Practice our experienced clinicians carry out these removals safely and comfortably.
We pair careful surgical technique with a calm, reassuring manner, so you feel looked after from start to finish.
A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth cannot be reached easily or taken out whole. Where a routine removal simply loosens and lifts the tooth, a surgical one may also involve:
It is all done under local anaesthetic so you feel no pain, and sedation is on hand for anyone who feels uneasy about the appointment.
We may advise a surgical extraction in a range of situations where an ordinary removal would not do the job:
Before recommending surgery we always take a careful look, X-rays included, and we will talk you through every option so the decision is yours, made with full understanding.
Planning — detailed X-rays let us map out the safest, most effective approach.
Numbing — the whole area is settled with local anaesthetic, and sedation is available if you would rather.
Access — a small, precise opening in the gum exposes the tooth and the bone around it.
Removal — the tooth is eased out, in pieces if needed, to keep disturbance to the surrounding tissue to a minimum.
Closing up — dissolvable stitches go in where required, and you leave with thorough aftercare guidance.
Recovery from a surgical extraction is usually smooth. Here is roughly what to expect over the following days:
You will go home with written aftercare instructions, and we are always reachable by phone should anything worry you while you heal.
Privately, a surgical extraction means quicker access, appointment times that fit around you, and sedation for those who feel nervous, ideal if you would like to be seen promptly or prefer a calmer, more relaxed visit.
We will always lay out your options plainly so you can decide on your care with confidence.
