Tooth extractions

Here at the Hertfordshire Dental Group, we’ll always see you quickly to solve problems and relieve pain as soon as possible.

We’ll start by taking X-rays of your teeth to see how easily the tooth can be extracted. In simple cases, we’ll be able to quickly remove the tooth using local anaesthetic. If the tooth has a more complex root formation, or is in an awkward position, we may conduct a surgical procedure to remove the tooth.

Either way, our team will be here to take care of you, from explaining the process and discussing your options, to carrying out a careful, gentle procedure, and providing you with excellent aftercare.

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

When you have a tooth removed, we usually recommend that the gap is filled (except for cases such as wisdom teeth, where there wasn’t enough room for the tooth to grow properly). By filling the gap, you can avoid a range of problems such as nearby teeth moving or becoming loose, vulnerability to infection and decay, or the loss of jawbone.

There are several different options to help fill gaps in your teeth, including dental implants, bridges and dentures. We’ll take you through the options and help you find the right solution that meets your needs.
