Tooth Extraction

At Surbiton Dental, we focus on prevention, and saving your natural teeth is always our priority. Sometimes a tooth may need to be removed (extracted).

When may a tooth need to be extracted?

• Crowded teeth
• Trauma
• Split or cracked teeth

Can my tooth be replaced following a dental extraction?

We understand that losing a tooth can be worrying.

Before any dental extraction, your dentist will discuss the options you have to permanently replace your missing tooth and how to prevent any further tooth loss.

It’s often possible to replace your tooth straight after it has been extracted, ensuring you are never left without a tooth. These options are known as an immediate denture or bridge.

What can I expect during the procedure?

Your dentist will take the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have. Care and skill will always be taken to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.

You will leave knowing exactly how to take care of your smile as it heals. We’ll also call you the next day to check how you are and answer any questions you may have.
