We will always do whatever we can to preserve your natural teeth as we believe that they ought to last for your lifetime.
The most common reason for extracting a tooth is that sometimes a tooth can become so damaged or decayed that it is irretrievable.

Why Do Some Teeth Need To Be Removed?
There are quite a few reasons why we would remove a tooth. Theses reasons include:
Why Do Some Teeth Need To Be Removed?
- A tooth is very badly damaged or infected and is irreparable.
- You have advanced gum (periodontal) disease.
- You have a severe abscess (a collection of pus) on your gums or around your tooth.
- Your teeth are overcrowded, and you do not have enough space on your jaw to accommodate all of your teeth.
- Your tooth is impacted and can not erupt, which is a particular problem with wisdom teeth.
How Is An Extraction Performed?
We will use an X-ray to determine whether you will need a simple extraction or a surgical extraction.
How Is An Extraction Performed?
Simple Extraction
Most extractions are simple and straightforward.
We will give you a local anaesthetic which will numb your tooth and the surrounding gum area. When the anaesthetic has taken effect, and the area is completely numb, we will remove the tooth. You will not feel any pain, although you may feel a little pressure. This procedure is usually fairly quick and does not usually require stitching.
Surgical Extraction
Sometimes it is necessary to remove a tooth surgically if, for example, the tooth is growing at an unfavourable angle, if it is buried within the bone or if it has broken down.
Kensington Court Clinic is an independent dental hospital. We can perform surgical tooth extraction with general anaesthetic in one of our theatre rooms.
Does A Dental Extraction Hurt?
We always try to ensure that you feel no pain throughout your dental extraction procedure.
Does An Dental Extraction Hurt?
The local anaesthetic and numbing agents we use mean that at most you may feel an unusual sensation as we remove the tooth from the socket.
Kensington Court Clinic is an independent dental hospital. We offer day surgery with sedation and general anaesthetic for private treatments. You can choose to receive your dental treatment with no pain in a totally relaxed state.
What Happens Immediately After The Extraction?
If you have had a simple extraction your gum may bleed briefly afterwards. We will give you some soft padding to bite on to help the bleeding to stop, and when it has stopped and you have passed a dental review, you can go home.
What Happens Immediately After The Extraction?
We will tell you what you need to do to take care of your teeth and gums and might recommend pain killers for you to take.
If you have had a general anaesthetic or sedation, you will need to allow the effects to wear off before you can leave.
You will not be able to drive afterwards so you will need to arrange transport to take you home.
What Happens In The Long Term After An Extraction?
A gap left after a tooth is extracted can cause the surrounding teeth to move or sit differently than they did before. Unless we removed the tooth to make more space in your mouth, you would probably prefer your remaining teeth not to move.
What Happens In The Long Term After An Extraction?
There are several ways we can fill this gap and prevent the remaining teeth from moving, such as dental implants, bridges and dentures. We will be happy to discuss your options with you.
