The decision to remove a tooth is based on its condition and long-term prognosis rather than simply the presence of pain.
Ask about immediate tooth replacement
If you are considering replacing the missing tooth with a dental implant, it is useful to discuss this before the extraction wherever possible.
For suitable patients, we may be able to:
This can be particularly valuable when a front tooth needs to be removed. Immediate implant placement is not suitable for every patient or extraction site, so a clinical assessment is required.
Simple extraction: A tooth that is sufficiently visible and accessible may sometimes be removed using a straightforward extraction technique.
Surgical extraction: A surgical approach may be required when the tooth has broken below the gum, very little tooth structure remains, the tooth is impacted, the roots are complex, or access is limited.
Potentially, yes. Same-day extraction may be possible where clinically appropriate and appointment availability allows.
No. We first assess whether the tooth can reasonably be saved.
Yes. Badly broken teeth can be assessed for simple or surgical extraction where they cannot be predictably restored.
In suitable cases, yes. The implant may be placed during the same appointment as the extraction.
Potentially. Where immediate implant placement is suitable and sufficient implant stability can be achieved, a temporary tooth may also be possible.
