Tooth Removal
Newton Abbot

Our clinicians have undergone extensive post-graduate training and are comfortable removing challenging teeth that perhaps your own dentist may not be able to.

Why would I need a tooth removed?

Tooth extraction may be necessary due to decay, damage, or orthodontic treatment. Whether you're experiencing toothache, gum disease, or planning a dental makeover, Newton Abbot Dental can offer pain-free tooth removal services.
Severe Decay or Damage
When a tooth is extensively decayed or damaged beyond repair, extraction may be necessary to prevent infection and alleviate pain.
Crowding
Sometimes teeth need to be removed to alleviate crowding in the mouth, often as part of orthodontic treatment to create space for properly aligned teeth.
Infection
If a tooth infection (abscess) cannot be treated effectively with root canal therapy or antibiotics, removing the tooth may be necessary to prevent the infection from spreading.
Impacted Teeth
Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth that do not have enough space to emerge or develop normally, may need to be extracted to prevent pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Tooth extractions are generally not painful due to the use of local anesthesia, which numbs the area around the tooth. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but you should not feel pain. Post-extraction discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and following your dentist’s aftercare instructions.

Treatments are tailored to suit your individual needs and the cost of Tooth Removal will vary depending on a number of factors, such as number of teeth and other treatments which may be needed. View the full dental price guide here to see the cost of dental treatments.

Recovery time can vary, but most patients feel back to normal within a few days to a week. It’s important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions, which may include rest, avoiding strenuous activities, and sticking to soft foods for a few days to promote healing.

While tooth extraction is generally safe, potential risks include infection, prolonged bleeding, dry socket (when the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges), and damage to adjacent teeth or nerves. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions can help minimise these risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
