Tooth extractions
Simple and surgical extractions carried out under local anaesthetic, with sedation available for anxious patients or complex cases.
Extractions at a glance
At This Is It Dental, extractions are recommended when a tooth cannot be saved — or when removal is the safest option for your overall health. We assess with X-rays and explain alternatives honestly.
Fees and sedation options are agreed before treatment day. Clear written aftercare helps healing, and we discuss bridges, dentures or implants if you want to replace the tooth long term.
Simple extractions and surgical removal of impacted teeth are planned with X-ray review before your appointment — you know what to expect before you sit in the chair.
Quick overview
When needed?
Severe decay, gum disease, infection, trauma or crowding — when root canal or other care cannot restore the tooth predictably.
The procedure
Local anaesthetic for all extractions; surgical removal when the tooth is impacted or roots are complex.
Aftercare
Written instructions, pain management advice, and review if healing needs checking — most sites settle within one to two weeks.

Your extraction journey
Most extractions are planned over two steps — assessment first, then treatment.
- 1 Before you commit
Assessment & x-ray
We examine the tooth, discuss alternatives, and explain fees and sedation options — you decide when to book treatment.
- 2 Treatment day
Anaesthetic & confirmation
Local anaesthetic is given; we wait until you're fully numb before proceeding — no extraction begins until numbness is confirmed.
- 3 During procedure
Extraction
The tooth is removed under local anaesthetic (and sedation if arranged). Most appointments take 30–45 minutes.
- 4 After treatment
Written aftercare & review
Follow aftercare instructions. We review if needed and discuss implants, bridges or dentures if you want to replace the tooth.

Frequently asked questions
Will extraction hurt?
The area is numb during treatment; soreness afterwards is managed with standard pain relief and our aftercare advice.
How long is recovery?
Most people return to normal activities within a few days; full socket healing takes longer.
Should I replace the tooth?
We discuss implants, bridges and dentures — the right choice depends on the gap, bone and your goals.
Can I drive after sedation?
No — you need an escort and must not drive for 24 hours after IV sedation.
