Gentle tooth extractions in Feltham
Carefully planned treatment when removing a tooth is the healthiest option
This paragraph gives us additional space to discuss the treatment if we require it. It's a pretty concise space to get a direct message across.
Thoughtful, precise care from experienced dentists
At Apex Dental & Implant Centre, preserving your natural teeth is always our priority. Tooth removal is only advised when it is the most appropriate solution for protecting your oral health. Our dentists take time to explain your options clearly and carry out treatment with a calm, considered approach.
Understanding when extraction may be necessary
In some situations, removing a tooth is the best way to relieve discomfort or prevent further damage to nearby teeth and gums. Your dentist will always assess all possible alternatives before recommending extraction.
Your long-term dental health is always considered before any decision is made.
Two safe approaches tailored to your situation
At Apex Dental & Implant Centre, the method used depends on the position and condition of the tooth.
Surgical extraction
This may be required when a tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or has complex roots. A small incision allows the tooth to be removed carefully and is often used for certain wisdom teeth.
Non-surgical extraction
When a tooth is visible above the gum, a simple extraction can usually be carried out. The tooth is gently loosened and removed under local anaesthetic, often with a shorter recovery time.
We’ll explain the recommended approach clearly and ensure you feel comfortable at every stage.
Clear and transparent pricing
We believe you should always understand costs before treatment begins.
Common questions about tooth extractions
Will I feel discomfort during a tooth extraction?
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. Many patients find the procedure more manageable than they expect.
How long does recovery usually take?
Most people recover within a few days. Some swelling or tenderness can occur but usually settles quickly with proper aftercare.
Can a tooth be replaced after removal?
Yes. Options such as dental implants and dental bridges can restore appearance and function after extraction.
What should I avoid after my extraction?
Avoid smoking, hot drinks, and vigorous rinsing for 24 hours. Soft foods are recommended initially, and your dentist will provide detailed guidance.
Are surgical extractions more involved?
They are more complex than simple extractions but are routine procedures for our experienced dental team.
When might a tooth need to be extracted?
In cases of advanced gum disease or tooth decay, teeth may need to be extracted. Some patients also develop impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause significant pain and discomfort. This is often relieved by having the tooth removed surgically. Tooth extractions fall under oral surgery, an umbrella term for dental procedures that involve surgery, including the removal of teeth and wisdom teeth. It is always important to seek advice from a dental professional if you are concerned about any of your teeth. Never attempt to remove a tooth yourself, as this can lead to more serious complications.
What happens during a tooth extraction?
Before the procedure, you may require an X-ray so the dentist can assess the tooth and surrounding area properly. Depending on your individual case and the severity of the problem, the tooth is removed using local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Dentists have the appropriate equipment and sterile environment to carry out extractions with care and precision, and recovery can often be quicker than patients expect.In the case of wisdom tooth extractions, some swelling and discomfort afterwards is normal and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Where advanced gum disease or periodontitis is present, antibiotics may be prescribed to help reduce the risk of further infection.
Supportive, professional care when you need it
If a tooth needs to be removed, the team at Apex Dental & Implant Centre will guide you through the process with care and reassurance. From assessment to aftercare, your comfort and wellbeing remain our priority.
I had a really positive experience at Apex Dental Surgery. Dr Shervin and hygienist Rosie were extremely kind, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel very comfortable. The receptionists are also lovely - always welcoming, calm, and helpful from the moment I arrived, which set the tone for the whole visit. The practice is clean, professional, and very well run. I felt genuinely looked after and specifically asked if I could continue my treatment with this team because of how at ease they made me feel. Highly recommend.
Ali has been my dentist for three years now and has been by far the best I’ve ever had! He has a great bedside manner, good sense of humor and talks you through everything he is doing . He is so thorough, I have every confidence in him. Totally puts my mind at ease and makes going to the dentist a somewhat nice experience .Thank you Ali
Dr Ali Almosoy is the best! Was dreading having a root canal and he was so careful and reassuring, I did not feel anything during or after! The surgery are all so kind, caring and supportive. Would definitely recommend.
Great surgery. Amazing staff that can understand you and help with anything related to dental health issues. I had several appointments with Ms. Sonali Pursnani - professional, open and kind person. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!
