Simple tooth extractions in London

Identifying the need for tooth removal

A tooth that causes persistent pain or crowding often requires removal to protect your oral health. You may feel unsure if a tooth can be saved or if extraction is the only way to stop the discomfort. We use diagnostic imaging to identify the exact cause of the problem, and only remove teeth when it is clinically necessary. If you need a broader range of oral surgery in London, we provide various options including surgical extractions and wisdom teeth removal.

We follow strict infection prevention protocols to keep you safe during every procedure. Dr Sodeinde and our team assess each case individually to determine the most appropriate treatment. A consultation allows us to confirm the diagnosis and explain the next steps for your specific situation.

Specialist planning for tooth removal

Choosing the wrong approach to an extraction can lead to unnecessary complications. We provide specialist-led planning so the correct procedure is selected for your specific anatomy. This diagnosis-first approach reduces the risk of choosing an unsuitable treatment. If the tooth is too damaged or the bone is insufficient, we can discuss bone grafting to prepare the site for future restoration.

Cost is a primary concern for most patients. We itemise every fee so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins. You can view our oral surgery costs in London to see how we structure our fees. The specialist periodontist oversees the clinical standards of every case.

Who can benefit from this procedure

Many people feel a sense of discomfort or anxiety when they need a tooth removed. Whether you are dealing with a severely decayed tooth or a specific clinical requirement, we assess your candidacy during a consultation. This visit lets us identify the cause of the issue and rule out risks such as nerve damage or other serious diagnoses. For more complex jaw joint problems, we assess and refer for TMJ surgery. Once the tooth is removed, you get an oral surgery aftercare guide to support your recovery.

Your tooth extraction process

Clinical extraction assessment for simple tooth extractions

We begin with a consultation to examine the tooth and surrounding bone. This visit determines if a simple extraction is possible or if you require wisdom teeth removal. We use this time to discuss the timeline and any potential complications.

Numbing the area

We use local anaesthetic to numb the area before the procedure. It is a standard step for every extraction we perform at our Primrose Hill practice.

Removing the tooth

The clinician gently loosens the tooth from its socket before removing it. This process is typically quick. In some cases, we also perform the extraction of decayed roots to clear the area.

How we manage the socket

Once the tooth is out, we check the socket for stability. We provide clear instructions on how to manage the site to avoid complications and support healing.

Post-extraction review

We monitor your recovery to check the gum tissue closes. If you have complex structural needs, we assess and refer for orthognathic (jaw) surgery. Your final recovery time is assessed during this follow-up.

Clinical precision in oral surgery

We use 3D imaging technology to plan surgeries and check optimal placement. These standards are upheld by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who oversees wisdom teeth removal, surgical extractions, simple tooth extractions and multiple teeth extraction alike.

Common concerns about tooth removal

How much do they cost?

Fees are determined during your initial consultation. We assess the tooth position and root structure to provide an accurate price for the extraction.

How long does it take?

The time required depends on the individual tooth. We determine the exact timeframe for your specific case during a consultation.

Which methods do you use?

We use techniques suited for teeth that can be removed without dividing the tooth or removing bone. If a tooth is more complex, we may refer you for surgical extractions.

What's the difference between simple and surgical extraction?

Simple extractions are for teeth visible above the gum line. We assess your eligibility for this approach during your visit, checking for risks such as nerve damage.
