Frequently
Asked
Questions

View All

To help you feel confident and well-informed, we’ve answered some frequently asked questions about tooth extractions – including what to expect and how to prepare.

Will the tooth extraction be painful?

You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area and minimise discomfort. We’ll also provide clear aftercare instructions to help manage any soreness afterwards.

When is a tooth extraction needed?

Tooth extraction is usually recommended for severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding. Wisdom teeth may also need to be removed if they’re causing pain or could lead to complications.

How long does it take to recover after a tooth extraction?

Initial healing typically takes a few days, with full recovery expected within 1–2 weeks. We’ll give you detailed aftercare advice to support healing and help prevent complications.

What happens if I don’t remove a damaged tooth?

Leaving a severely damaged or infected tooth untreated can lead to ongoing pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth and bone.

Can I return to work the same day as the extraction?

This depends on the complexity of the procedure and how you feel afterwards. Some people return to work the next day, while others may need a bit more time to rest and recover.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before your tooth extraction, we’ll carry out a thorough clinical assessment and explain the procedure in full. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and receive clear preparation instructions.

Treatment

The tooth extraction is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort. It may be a straightforward removal or a surgical procedure, such as for impacted wisdom teeth. We work gently and efficiently to reduce discomfort.

Post-Treatment

After the extraction, we’ll provide tailored aftercare advice to help manage any discomfort and support healing. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled if needed to check your recovery.

Side Effects & Risks

Common side effects can include mild swelling, bruising, or temporary soreness. There is a small risk of infection, dry socket, or delayed healing. We take every precaution to minimise these risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
