What is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure that involves carefully removing a tooth that can no longer be saved or is causing problems for your oral health.
Our dentists always aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. However, if a tooth is severely damaged, infected, loose, or affecting neighbouring teeth, an extraction may be the most suitable solution.
Following your extraction, we’ll also discuss replacement options, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, to restore your smile if needed.
When might you need a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction may be recommended if you have:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired
- A cracked or broken tooth below the gum line
- Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
- A painful or infected tooth
- An impacted or problematic wisdom tooth
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- A failed root canal treatment
- A damaged tooth following trauma or injury
During your consultation, we’ll carry out a thorough examination and explain all available treatment options before recommending an extraction.
Relieves Pain
Extraction can eliminate ongoing pain caused by severe decay, infection, or trauma.
Prevents Infection from Spreading
Removing an infected tooth helps protect surrounding teeth and gums
Protects Your Oral Health
Extraction can prevent damage to neighboring teeth and reduce the risk of further complications.
Supports Future Treatment
Removing a damaged tooth can prepare your mouth for dental implants, bridges, dentures, or orthodontic treatment.
Improves Comfort
Once healing is complete, many patients experience significant relief from discomfort and improved oral function.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
Removing a problematic tooth can improve both your oral health and overall comfort.
Consultation and Assessment
Your dentist will examine your tooth, take any necessary X-rays, and discuss the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
Local Anaesthetic
The area around the tooth is carefully numbed using a local anesthetic to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Tooth Removal
Your dentist gently removes the tooth using specialised instruments while minimising discomfort and protecting the surrounding tissues.
Aftercare Advice
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help your mouth heal quicky and reduce the risk of complications.
The Tooth Extraction procedure
Answers to your most
common concerns
Is tooth extraction painful?
No. Your tooth will be fully numbed using local anaesthetic before treatment begins. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but you shouldn’t experience pain.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
Most routine extractions take between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the complexity of the tooth.
How long does it take to recover?
Most patients begin feeling much better within a few days. Complete healing of the extraction site usually takes several weeks.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods such as yoghurt, soup, mashed potatoes, pasta, and scrambled eggs for the first few days while your mouth heals.
Will I need to replace my extracted tooth?
In many cases, replacing a missing tooth is recommended to maintain your oral health and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting. Your dentist will discuss suitable replacement options with you.
Can wisdom teeth be removed at KAA Dentals?
Yes. Our dentists can assess problematic wisdom teeth and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs.

Most patients recover comfortably within a few days, although complete healing may take several weeks.
Replacing a missing tooth
If you’ve had a tooth removed, replacing it can help maintain your bite, prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting, and restore your smile.
