Why you might need a tooth extraction and what to expect

There are many situations where removing a tooth may be the best option for your long-term oral health. Severe decay, advanced infection, trauma or problematic wisdom teeth can all make extraction necessary. Wisdom teeth, in particular, can cause overcrowding, gum irritation and discomfort, often making removal the most practical solution.

Reasons you might need a tooth extraction

Your dentist will always explore ways to save a tooth wherever possible, but extraction may be recommended for reasons such as:

‍

Extensive decay that cannot be restored
Injury or trauma from accidents or sport
Baby teeth that have not fallen out naturally
Wisdom teeth causing pain, overcrowding or infection
Creating space for orthodontic treatment
Certain medical procedures that require teeth to be removed

Two types of tooth extraction

Your dentist will explain which type of extraction is appropriate for your situation.

‍

Simple extraction‍

A simple extraction is used when the tooth is visible above the gumline. The tooth can be gently removed using non-surgical instruments.

‍

Surgical extraction

If a tooth has broken at the gumline, become impacted or sits beneath the surface of the gums, a surgical extraction is required. This involves making a small incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth. Wisdom teeth are commonly removed this way if they are lodged beneath the gum or growing at an angle.

What will happen during a tooth extraction procedure?

Before any extraction, we carry out a full assessment and take X-rays to plan the safest, most effective approach. X-rays help us understand the position of the tooth, surrounding structures and any nearby nerves.

‍

If infection is present, antibiotics may be recommended. Simple extractions are carried out using local anaesthetic to fully numb the area, with optional sedation to help you relax. For surgical extractions, local anaesthetic is also used, and IV sedation may be offered depending on your needs. Some patients with complex medical or behavioural needs may require general anaesthetic.

Restorative treatment after your extraction

Depending on the reason for the extraction, you may be advised to consider restorative treatment. If the removal leaves a visible gap, we can discuss options such as dental implants, bridges or dentures to restore function and improve your bite. If the extraction is part of orthodontic planning, further tooth replacement will not be necessary.

How to care for your mouth after a tooth extraction

To support healing, avoid hot drinks and eating on the extraction side for the first few days. Drinking through a straw should also be avoided, as it can disturb the healing site.

‍

Any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients start to feel more comfortable within a few days as the area heals, preparing you for any further dental treatment you may need.

The only reason I have done this is because how comfortable I have been made ,also how compassionate the team has been.

OK so I have used Ace dental for tooth extractions twice. Truthful I suffer with extreme anxiety and have had to be sedated for teeth work. also being that the adrenaline in the injection heighten my Faint feeling. I decided to try and conquer my fears and I must say Dr Noor and her team have been so good helping me. I admit I have been rocky character with a few pass outs on first tooth extraction , the last tooth to be done I pretty much done it with just a mild episode. Its a massive self achievement for me to come this far, The only reason I have done this is because how comfortable I have been made , also how compassionate the team has been in understanding that I am scared 6foot 2 guy , 16 stone that struggles with dentist . Thanks so much Dr Noor and crew . ❤️

Had a wonderful experience here - came to straighten my front teeth.

Had a wonderful experience here - came to straighten my front teeth. I was recommended Clear Correct rather than Invisalign, which was a better price and appropriate for my treatment. Gian was really helpful when showing the advantages of different treatments and I was very pleased with the outcome. The customer service is excellent - really helpful staff on reception too Now using this as my normal dentist.

...taking time to make me as comfortable as possible

I went to ace dental today for a teeth clean with Dr Konnie. I was ridiculously nervous as I have never been to a hygienist before. Dr konnie was excellent. She was so calm, so sensitive and just made the whole experience a pleasure, taking time to make me as comfortable as possible. Her dental nurse was incredible and I held her hand very tightly. The receptionist was very kind too. Thank you all of you. I'll be back next year and will pass on my recommendations to friends!!

Frequently asked questions about tooth extraction.

What are the main reasons for a tooth extraction?

Severe decay, trauma, impacted wisdom teeth or making space for orthodontic treatment are common reasons. We always aim to preserve the tooth, but removal may be the healthiest option.

What are the two types of extraction?

Simple extractions remove teeth that are visible above the gumline. Surgical extractions involve lifting the gum to remove teeth that are broken, impacted or sitting beneath the surface.

Does having a tooth removed hurt?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic so the tooth and surrounding area are fully numbed. Nervous patients can choose IV sedation for additional reassurance.

How long does recovery take?

Most people feel significantly better within a few days. Avoid smoking, hot drinks and using straws, and follow our aftercare advice for smooth healing.

Will I need to replace a removed tooth?

If the extraction leaves a space, we can explore dental implants, bridges or dentures to restore function and appearance. This is especially important for front teeth or areas affecting your bite.

How much does a tooth extraction cost in Wanstead?

Costs vary depending on whether the removal is simple or surgical. We offer flexible payment plans, including 0% options, and will provide a personalised quote during your consultation.

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Yes. We frequently remove wisdom teeth that are impacted, infected or causing overcrowding. We will assess your situation and explain the safest approach to removal.

When is tooth extraction necessary and what should I expect?

Permanent teeth are designed to last a lifetime, but in severe cases of decay, infection or damage, extraction may be necessary. Your dentist will always discuss all available options and only recommend removal when restoration treatments are not possible. At Ace Dental, every effort is made to preserve natural teeth before suggesting extraction.

What are the different types of tooth extraction procedures?

There are two main types of tooth extraction: simple and surgical. The approach used depends on whether the tooth is visible above the gumline or hidden beneath it due to damage, decay or impaction.

What is a simple tooth extraction?

A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is visible above the gumline. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, allowing the dentist to remove the tooth quickly using non-surgical instruments. Mild bleeding is normal and usually short-lived, and antibiotics may be prescribed if infection is present.

What is a surgical tooth extraction?

A surgical extraction is required when the tooth is broken, severely decayed or trapped beneath the gumline. The dentist will gently cut into the gum to access and remove the tooth. This procedure may involve local anaesthetic, IV sedation or, in rare cases, general anaesthetic, depending on complexity.

How long does recovery from a tooth extraction take?

Most patients recover within a few days. Eating soft foods, avoiding very hot or cold items and resting with your head elevated can help speed up healing. Following aftercare instructions closely will support a smooth recovery.
