Gentle Tooth Removal from a Trusted, Caring Dentist

At York House, while we strive to save every tooth, there are instances when extraction is necessary for your health and safety. Our approach to tooth removal in Chesham is gentle, ensuring comfort throughout the procedure.

Understanding the Tooth Extraction Process

Tooth extractions are recommended when a tooth is beyond repair—whether due to severe decay, gum disease, or trauma. Common reasons include:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth that are painful or stuck in the gums.
  • Teeth that are too damaged or decayed for restoration.

Our experienced Chesham dentists use the latest gentle techniques to ensure a smooth procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Preparation: The area around the tooth is numbed with a local anaesthetic to ensure you feel no pain, only slight pressure during the extraction.
  • Extraction: Once the area is numb, the dentist will carefully extract the tooth. The process is quick, typically taking less than an hour, even if multiple teeth are being removed.
  • Post-Procedure Care: Immediately after the extraction, you may be asked to bite down on gauze to aid in clot formation and prevent bleeding.

Aftercare for Tooth Extraction

Post-extraction care is crucial for healing:

  • Avoid brushing or flossing the extraction site for a few days.
  • Eat soft foods and avoid crunchy or hard items.
  • Follow prescribed pain relief to manage any discomfort.
  • Avoid smoking to promote better healing.

Tooth Extraction FAQS

What other oral surgeries do you perform?

Besides extractions, Oliver Tabbenor, who specializes in oral surgery, offers services including impacted tooth removal, bone grafting, gum surgery, and more every Saturday.

How long does healing take after an extraction?

Comfort returns within 24 hours, but complete healing takes up to 2 months, after which further restorative treatments like implants or bridges can be planned.

What are the risks associated with tooth extraction?

While any surgery has risks, complications are rare when performed by experienced professionals and proper aftercare is followed.

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not necessarily. Only if they cause discomfort or are impacted do they need to be extracted.

Will I need sedation for the procedure?

Most extractions only require local anaesthesia, but for more complex cases or nervous patients, sedation options are available to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
