What are the alternatives to tooth extraction?
Before any tooth extraction, our experienced dentists conduct a thorough assessment of your oral health to determine the best course of action. We will always endeavour to save a tooth but in some circumstances, tooth extraction may be the only solution.
We take into consideration your oral health, medical history and specific needs to create a customised treatment plan. Usually, tooth extraction is the last resort for a tooth that is irreparably damaged, has suffered a failed root canal treatment, is severely infected, cracked or fractured, or is impacted by nearby wisdom teeth.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
The time it takes to have a tooth removed depends on the complexity of your situation. However, it’s usually a straightforward procedure that can be completed within 30 – 60 minutes.
We prioritise your comfort throughout the entire tooth removal process. Our dentists adopt a gentle approach while using effective pain management techniques to keep you relaxed and pain-free during the procedure.
Are there any side effects to having a tooth removed?
You may feel a little bit sore for around a week after having a tooth extraction. With straightforward tooth removal procedures, our patients in Gerrards Cross can usually carry on with their daily routines as usual after treatment. For more complex cases, a few days of recovery time may be needed.
Our dentists are highly trained to remove teeth in the least invasive ways possible and take care not to damage any surrounding bone, which could impede your ability to have a dental implant in future.
Sedation for Nervous Patients
Conscious sedation is available for patients who feel very nervous about removing teeth. You will remain fully awake during the procedure but will feel calm and relaxed and should not feel discomfort.
How much does tooth removal cost?
You can view the price list for our dental practice , which details the costs of a simple tooth extraction and a surgical tooth extraction procedure. We also offer socket preservation treatment.

Will there be a gap after my tooth has been taken out?
Prior to extracting a tooth, we will discuss the various replacement options available to you. Together, we can create a personalised plan that may involve dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
To maintain the height and width of your jawbone for a potential future implant, we can perform socket preservation by placing bone graft material after your teeth are extracted. This procedure aims to preserve the integrity of your jawbone structure for optimal dental health.
What should I do after my tooth is removed?
After your tooth extraction, our team will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your oral health during the healing process. We are always available to address any concerns or questions you may have post-treatment, or any other treatment you may like such as orthodontic treatment or cosmetic dentistry.
