You may be disappointed and even anxious to hear that you need to have a tooth removed.

Tooth extraction is truly a last-resort solution when a tooth is beyond saving with restorative dentistry. Dental implants are the closest you can come to having your real teeth again, but it is still preferable to keep your natural teeth as long as possible.

Here at WS9 Dream Dental in Walsall, Little Aston, we can provide a simple tooth extraction to complicated buried wisdom teeth, to help you get relief from dental pain and move you closer to your goal of having a healthy smile.

An extraction may sound a little scary, but we will keep you comfortable throughout the process. We also expect that you will feel relief after getting rid of a troublesome tooth.

Tooth extraction: what to expect

We will invite you to our practice so that one of our dentists can examine your teeth. If there is a practical way to restore your tooth and there is a high chance of treatment success, then we would prefer to save your tooth.

If you are not in a position to pursue dental treatment or if your tooth is too weak for a crown or root canal , then we will recommend extraction.

Your extraction appointment will not take long. Most likely, you will spend the most time waiting for the local anaesthetic to take effect. Once it does, you will not feel any discomfort as the dentist carefully removes your damaged tooth from the socket. The whole procedure will take less than an hour, but it may take longer if you are having multiple teeth extracted.

Tooth extractions

We will provide you with detailed instructions for a quick and comfortable recovery. Within a matter of weeks, your extraction site should be fully healed and we will talk with you about your tooth replacement options.

If you suffer from dental anxiety, we can provide you with some mild dental sedation. Many people are anxious about having teeth extracted, so discuss your concerns with us freely. It may also help you to remember that an extraction is for the best if it prevents bacteria from tooth decay or gum disease from spreading to your other teeth.
