Your Local NHS & Private Dentists for Tooth Extractions

We provide NHS and private tooth extractions, including simple tooth extractions from £250, surgical tooth extractions from £375 and wisdom tooth extractions from £425. Our experienced dentists carry out every procedure with a focus on your comfort, safety and long-term oral health.

Our priority is always to preserve your natural teeth wherever possible. However, when an extraction is the most appropriate treatment, we’ll explain your options, ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible and provide clear aftercare advice to support a smooth recovery. We also offer additional support for nervous patients, including IV sedation where suitable.

Simple vs surgical tooth extraction

The type of extraction required depends on the position of the tooth, its condition, and findings from your clinical assessment.

A simple extraction is usually suitable when the tooth is fully visible and can be removed using standard dental techniques. A surgical extraction may be recommended where the tooth is less accessible, broken at the gum line, partially erupted or impacted.

When is a tooth extraction necessary?

A tooth extraction may be required when a tooth cannot be restored or is affecting surrounding teeth and gums.

Common reasons include:

Severe tooth decay or infection
Broken or irreparable teeth
Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease)
Overcrowding or orthodontic requirements
Persistent dental pain or abscess

Following a clinical assessment, and where required dental X-rays, your dentist will explain the findings and discuss appropriate treatment options, including whether extraction is necessary.

An urgent dental appointment may be recommended if you have tooth pain, swelling, infection, or trauma affecting a tooth.

When is wisdom tooth removal needed?

Wisdom teeth may be assessed if you experience dental pain, swelling, gum inflammation, or difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, or where concerns are identified during a routine examination.

Based on your assessment, and where required dental X-rays, your dentist will evaluate the position of the tooth and advise whether monitoring or wisdom tooth removal is appropriate for your oral health.

Regulated & Accredited Care

Flexible Payment Options

Tooth Extraction & Wisdom Tooth Removal

We provide a range of extraction treatments depending on the condition and position of the affected tooth. Following your examination, we’ll recommend the most appropriate treatment to relieve pain and protect your oral health.

Simple Tooth Extractions

Suitable for teeth that can be removed safely using local anaesthetic and standard extraction techniques.

Surgical Tooth Extractions

Required where a tooth is broken below the gum line, difficult to access or requires a more complex surgical approach.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

We assess impacted, partially erupted and problematic wisdom teeth that are causing pain, infection, swelling or damage to neighbouring teeth, recommending removal where clinically appropriate.

Our Tooth Extraction Process

Consultation & Assessment

We carry out a clinical examination and may take dental X-rays if required to assess your tooth and confirm the most appropriate treatment.

Treatment Planning

We explain whether monitoring or extraction is recommended, along with your treatment options and costs.

Extraction & Aftercare

If treatment proceeds, we use local anaesthetic to numb the area before removing the tooth. You will be given clear aftercare advice to support healing.

Recovery Following Tooth Extraction

Most patients recover well following tooth extraction or wisdom tooth removal. Some tenderness, swelling or mild discomfort is normal during the first few days and usually improves as the area heals.

We’ll provide personalised aftercare advice, including how to control bleeding, maintain good oral hygiene, choose suitable foods and recognise when you should contact the practice. Once healing is complete, we’ll also discuss tooth replacement options, including dental implants, bridges or dentures where appropriate.
