While we always aim to save a tooth, there are situations where extraction is the most appropriate treatment — particularly when a tooth is severely broken, infected beyond treatment, or causing acute pain. Emergency extractions are carried out under local anaesthetic and provide immediate relief.
When infection has destroyed too much bone, extraction may be the safest course of action.
A tooth broken below the gumline or with a root fracture often cannot be restored.
When decay has destroyed most of the tooth structure with insufficient remaining to restore.
Advanced periodontitis can cause teeth to become so loose that extraction is the only option.
Impacted, infected or painful wisdom teeth are frequently extracted as an emergency procedure.
Emergency extractions are performed under local anaesthetic — you will not feel pain during the procedure. You will receive aftercare instructions to manage the socket and prevent dry socket. Following extraction we can discuss tooth replacement options including dental implants at a follow-up appointment. From £195.
Prices confirmed at appointment. Written cost breakdown provided before any treatment begins.
