When an Extraction Helps
We always look to preserve your natural teeth first. When a tooth is badly damaged or causing problems, a planned extraction can protect your comfort and the teeth around it.
Severe Decay
When decay is too advanced to repair with a filling or crown, removing the tooth can prevent further problems.
Infection or Pain
A persistently painful or infected tooth that cannot be saved may need to be removed to ease discomfort.
Crowding
Sometimes a tooth is removed as part of a wider plan to make room and support healthy alignment.
Trauma
A tooth that is broken or damaged beyond repair after an injury may need careful removal.
Comfort-Focused
We take a gentle approach and talk you through what to expect so you feel at ease.

Your assessmentHow it works
Saving Teeth Comes First
Before recommending an extraction, we carefully assess the tooth and explore whether it can be repaired with a filling, crown or root canal.
If removal is the best option, we explain why, talk through your choices, and plan it with your comfort in mind.
