Tooth Extraction at Treeline Dental Care
Gentle removal when a tooth can’t be saved
Sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do for your mouth is to let a problem tooth go. Tooth extraction is a common and straightforward procedure, used when a tooth is too damaged, infected, or impacted to treat.
At Treeline Dental, we always look at ways to save a tooth first but when extraction is the best option, we carry it out gently, with clear guidance, and full support before, during, and after your appointment.
Why Do People Need a Tooth Removed?
- The tooth is too decayed or broken to be restored
- There’s a severe infection or abscess that hasn’t responded to treatment
- A baby tooth hasn’t fallen out and is blocking an adult tooth
- A tooth is loose due to gum disease
- Teeth are overcrowded and need space before orthodontic treatment
- A wisdom tooth is impacted or causing repeated infections
We’ll explain everything clearly and help you feel prepared especially if it’s your first extraction.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
- Relieves pain and discomfort caused by damaged or infected teeth
- Prevents the spread of infection to other teeth or tissues
- Can improve alignment when paired with orthodontic treatment
- Makes space for healthy teeth to grow in or be restored
- Often a quick procedure with minimal downtime
How Much Does It Cost?
Tooth extraction may be available on the NHS if clinically required. Private options are also available, with shorter wait times and added flexibility.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
We’ll begin by checking the tooth with an X-ray and walking you through your options. If an extraction is needed, we’ll numb the area with local anaesthetic and gently remove the tooth using modern, minimally invasive techniques.
Most extractions are complete in under 30 minutes. Afterwards, we’ll give you full aftercare advice, let you know what to expect as you heal, and discuss any long-term replacement options (like implants or bridges) if needed.
