Tooth extraction is required when there is decay or damage to the tooth. Once removed, we will discuss replacement options.

If your tooth cannot be saved through a cavity filling or root canal therapy, extraction may be required to prevent further damage or infection to the surrounding teeth or soft tissues. Extraction will also provide relief from dental pain.

When is a tooth extraction required?

If you have a persistent toothache or swelling, this could be a sign of a dental abscess. The first option would be a root canal, but if this is unlikely to be successful, extraction and restoration of the space might be a better option. Extraction may also be recommended if the tooth is damaged by trauma.

Does tooth extraction hurt?

The area is numbed using a local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during the extraction. You might feel pressure as the tooth is rocked back and forth to loosen it from the bone. Your dentist will check that you are comfortable and pain-free at every stage. If your tooth is infected, extraction will bring your relief from the toothache.

What are the options for replacing a missing tooth?

A missing tooth should be replaced to help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment. We will discuss the options for replacing a missing tooth, including bridges, dentures, and dental implants.

As a very nervous patient of the dentist I was SO lucky to have found Dr Farhana Ali and Amelia, her Dental Nurse. I can’t begin to express how caring and professional they both are. I highly recommend them and thank them both for their kindness and understanding on each of my visits to Silk Dental. Also thanks to the friendly and helpful receptionists.

Really good practice, friendly and understanding staff. Really good with nervous patients like myself. The most lovely dentist who offered the sedation I needed when refused by so many others. Thank you. I’m glad I finally found you.

I’ve recently joined Silk Dental and wanted to say a massive thank you to the team for looking after me and getting my teeth sorted. From my initial checkup up with Dr Farhana and later appointment to get a filling sorted my teeth are now looking and feeling so much better. Special thanks to Dental Therapist Liliya and nurses Sophie and Beckie also, it’s so comforting to have found a professional and welcoming dental practice, I’d recommend Silk Dental to anyone, they are the best dentist I have been to.

Excellent practice. Was seen to by Dr. Farhana and Amelia. Dr Farhana was easy to speak with about my concerns and provided wonderful advice. I was kept informed through the procedure. Highly rate Silk Dental.

Just wanted to feedback about the level of service and care I received today at Silk dental. It was absolutely exceptional, the dentist and technician both made me feel at ease, not judged listened to my concerns and offered a treatment plan that would hopefully seek to return my teeth to a point of health. The other thing I’d like to point out is the investment in the practice itself - it’s a beautiful space, and so inviting, rather than obviously clinical. All the staff were friendly and patient, and the communication throughout from the initial conversation about re-joining to the helpful reminders left in voicemails, to everything being in an App- just such a pleasurable experience- especially considering the anxiety I had built about going to the dentist. So a massive thank-you to all
