Extraction
To take problem teeth away or make some space
We aim to offer the very best preventative care but sometimes it may be necessary to remove a tooth if it cannot be repaired or we need to create more space in your mouth for further dental treatment.
A tooth may be affected by gum disease, decay or injury, or it could be impacted and not able to fully emerge. You may require extra room in your mouth if you are having orthodontic treatment or dentures.
Extractions – the Sutton Aesthetic way
If you need an extraction we will ensure the procedure is as pain-free as possible and do everything we can to help you feel relaxed and comfortable. We will also give you post-extraction guidelines to encourage healing.
More facts about extractions
- Extractions can either be ‘simple’, for a tooth showing above the gum line, or ‘surgical’, for one that has broken off at the gum line or not fully emerged.
- Extractions can help to eliminate pain and prevent the spread of infection.
