A knocked out tooth, medically termed tooth avulsion, occurs when a tooth is completely displaced from its socket due to trauma or injury. This dental emergency happens most commonly during sports activities, accidents, or falls. The tooth becomes entirely separated from the jawbone and supporting tissues. Time is critical. You should seek immediate dental treatment within 30 minutes to one hour for the best chance of successful reimplantation.
When a tooth is knocked out, the delicate fibres that connect the tooth root to the jawbone are severed. These fibres, called the periodontal ligament, can die quickly when exposed to air. The sooner professional treatment begins, the better the likelihood of saving your natural tooth. If reimplantation isn't possible, the gap left behind can cause adjacent teeth to shift, affect your bite, and lead to bone loss in the jaw.
At London Dental Specialists, our Principal Dentist Dr. Ope Sodeinde brings specialist training in periodontics and advanced implant dentistry to treat knocked out teeth. His expertise in bone and gum regeneration techniques, combined with our team's multidisciplinary approach, ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment whether that involves reimplantation, immediate implant placement, or alternative tooth replacement solutions. Don't wait if you've experienced dental trauma. Contact London Dental Specialists immediately for emergency care that could save your smile.
When you experience a knocked out tooth, immediate expert intervention can mean the difference between saving and losing your natural tooth permanently. At London Dental Specialists, our emergency dental protocol combines rapid assessment with advanced avulsion treatment for knocked out teeth to maximise your chances of successful tooth preservation. Dr. Ope Sodeinde and our specialist team utilise 3D CBCT imaging technology to assess root damage and bone integrity within minutes of your arrival, enabling us to determine whether reimplantation is viable or if immediate implant placement offers the best long term solution.
Our treatment approach prioritises speed and precision. We employ advanced splinting techniques and regenerative protocols to encourage natural reattachment when your tooth can be saved. However, when reimplantation isn't possible, our same day implant capability means you can leave with a functional replacement tooth rather than facing months without proper dental function. Our computer guided surgery ensures precise placement, whilst our on site laboratory creates temporary crowns that match your natural teeth perfectly.
What sets our knocked out tooth treatment apart is our comprehensive aftercare programme and 10 year warranty on implant solutions. Dr. Sodeinde's specialist training in periodontics ensures optimal healing of both gum and bone tissues, whether we're stabilising your natural tooth or placing a single tooth implant. We understand dental emergencies create anxiety, so our team provides clear communication throughout your treatment journey, ensuring you feel confident about every decision affecting your smile's future.

Our team of dental specialists will take care of you, and consider every dental aspect with each of our specialist dental expererience to make sure that you get the help you need.
Time is critical. Pick up your tooth by the crown, not the root. If it's dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline solution. Never scrub it. Try to place it back in the socket if possible and bite down gently on a clean cloth. If you can't reinsert it, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Get to our practice immediately. The first 30 minutes are crucial for saving your tooth. We understand this is frightening, but quick action gives us the best chance of successful reimplantation.
Yes, absolutely. When you act quickly, we can often successfully reimplant your natural tooth. The key factors are time and proper handling. Teeth reimplanted within 30 minutes have the highest success rates, often over 90%. Even after an hour, we may still save your tooth, though success rates decrease. Our specialists use advanced techniques to clean the socket, treat the tooth, and secure it back in place. You'll need follow-up care to monitor healing, but many patients keep their reimplanted teeth for decades.
Don't worry. We have excellent alternatives. Dental implants are our preferred solution for replacing a single knocked out tooth. They look natural. They feel natural. They function just like your original tooth. The implant process involves placing a titanium post into your jawbone, which integrates over several months. Then we attach a custom crown that matches your other teeth perfectly. Alternatively, we might recommend a bridge or partial denture, depending on your specific situation and preferences.
We prioritise your comfort throughout treatment. For emergency reimplantation, we use local anaesthesia to numb the area completely. You shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Afterwards, you may experience some discomfort and swelling, which is normal. We provide detailed pain management instructions and recommend appropriate medications. For anxious patients, we offer sedation dentistry to help you relax. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and temporary. Our minimally invasive techniques also reduce post-treatment pain significantly.
Coverage varies depending on your specific policy and circumstances. Dental insurance often covers emergency treatment for traumatic injuries like knocked out teeth. If the injury resulted from an accident, your medical insurance might provide coverage too. We recommend contacting your insurance provider immediately to understand your benefits. Our team can help with documentation and proper coding to maximise your coverage. We also offer flexible payment plans and financing options to ensure you receive the care you need, regardless of insurance limitations.
This depends on your chosen treatment path. Emergency reimplantation happens immediately, but monitoring continues for months to ensure success. If we place a dental implant, the complete process typically takes 3 to 6 months. The implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone before we can attach the final crown. We'll provide a temporary solution during healing so you're never without a tooth. Bridge placement is faster, usually completed within 2 to 3 weeks. Throughout any treatment, we keep you informed about timelines and what to expect at each stage.
Success rates are very encouraging when treatment begins promptly. Reimplanted teeth have success rates of 85-95% when handled properly and treated within the first hour. Dental implants, our primary replacement option, boast over 95% long-term success rates. Most implants last 20-30 years or even a lifetime with proper care. The key is following our post-treatment instructions carefully. This includes maintaining excellent oral hygiene, attending regular check-ups, and avoiding habits that could damage your restoration. Our specialist team monitors your progress closely to ensure the best possible outcome.
