At Thorpe Lea Dental, we provide expert and compassionate tooth extraction services when a tooth cannot be saved. Whether due to severe decay, damage, or overcrowding, our team in Staines ensures your comfort and care every step of the way.
Tooth extraction is often a straightforward procedure designed to relieve pain, prevent further oral health issues, and pave the way for restorative treatments if needed.
Your dentist will assess your tooth and discuss all available options before recommending an extraction. If extraction is necessary, we’ll guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
We use modern techniques and local anaesthetics to ensure your procedure is as comfortable as possible. For more complex cases, such as wisdom tooth removal, we may recommend additional sedation for a stress-free experience.
Whether you’re comfortable visiting the dentist, you’re a nervous patient, or someone in between, we’ll make sure you feel reassured and cared for throughout the process.
Book an Appointment
Schedule a consultation to assess your tooth and determine if extraction is necessary.
Meet and Greet
During your visit, your dentist will explain the procedure in detail, including what to expect before, during, and after the extraction. We’ll also take digital scans or X-rays if required.
Tooth Extraction
Your dentist will administer local anaesthetic to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience. The tooth is then carefully removed using gentle techniques to minimise discomfort and preserve the surrounding gum and bone tissue.
Your Recovery
After the extraction, we’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Follow-up appointments may be recommended to ensure a smooth recovery and discuss restoration options if needed.
A tooth extraction may be recommended for severe decay, damage, overcrowding, or as part of orthodontic or wisdom tooth management. Your dentist will always explore all options before deciding on extraction.
No, the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure it is pain-free. For more complex extractions, additional sedation options may be available to enhance your comfort.
Recovery typically takes 7 to 10 days, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions, such as avoiding hard foods and maintaining good oral hygiene, can help speed up the healing process.
