Extractions

Spondon Dental

Extractions

There may occasionally be a complex case with difficult roots, we might then refer you to a specialist. The bone heals and remodels over a few months post-extraction and your mouth may feel strange for a while. 

We know losing a tooth is never great and so we have lots of workable solutions for you!

Gap filling options include

If you prefer to keep the tooth, you can always discuss any root treatment options by booking a consultation with us.

FAQ's

Tooth extraction is usually a last resort, and we will try to avoid it where possible. For us to know for sure whether a tooth needs to be extracted or not we will need to have a look so you should see us straight away.

You may feel slight pain and discomfort as the numbness wears off. This will not last and will fade within a few days. While the odd feeling of having a gap may last a little longer.

We advise that you avoid food until the numbness has completely worn off to avoid any accidental biting of the tongue and cheeks. After it wears off you may want to eat soft foods for a few days as the area heals and the discomfort subsides.

If your jaw tissue and gum tissues are healthy enough you may be able to get an immediate dental implant placement. Most dentist agree that waiting a few months is ideal as it allows time for the area to heal sufficiently and if bone grafting is required that can also be done in this time.
If a denture or bridge is needed we advise that it is best to wait a few months while your bone and gum heal and in the meantime a temporary solution may be available for you simply contact us to find out your options.
