At London Dental Specialists, we understand that tooth extraction can seem daunting. Whether you're facing removal of wisdom teeth, damaged teeth, or extractions for orthodontic purposes, our specialists prioritise your comfort throughout the procedure. Many patients worry about pain, recovery time, and potential side effects. Rest assured, modern extraction techniques minimise discomfort, with local anaesthesia ensuring you feel only pressure, not pain. Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, during which some bleeding, swelling and tenderness are normal. While extraction might seem concerning, removing problematic teeth often prevents further complications and protects your overall oral health. Our team is here to address your concerns and guide you through every step of this common dental procedure.
Recovery from a tooth extraction typically takes 1-2 weeks for the socket to heal properly. During this time, you may experience mild discomfort and should stick to softer foods, particularly if you've had a surgical extraction. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend limiting strenuous physical activity during this recovery period as it can lead to additional bleeding. Most patients find that discomfort subsides significantly after the first 48-72 hours, though complete healing of the socket takes the full 1-2 weeks.
After a tooth extraction at London Dental Specialists, you may experience several normal side effects, including:
Our dental team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimise these side effects and ensure proper healing.
At London Dental Specialists, we ensure tooth extractions are performed with appropriate anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. You may experience some pressure or pulling sensations as the tooth is being removed, but this shouldn't be painful. We offer local anaesthesia for all extractions, and sedation options are available for anxious patients or complex cases. After the procedure, mild to moderate discomfort can be expected as the anaesthesia wears off, but this is typically manageable with prescribed pain relief.
