While we always aim to save natural teeth, sometimes extraction is the best option for your overall oral health. Whether it's a severely damaged tooth, overcrowding, or preparation for orthodontics, we make the process as comfortable as possible.
This treatment is ideal if you
- ✓You have a tooth that cannot be saved
- ✓You need a wisdom tooth removed
- ✓You have overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- ✓You have severe gum disease affecting a tooth
When Is Extraction Necessary?
Reasons for extraction include severe decay or infection that can't be treated, advanced gum disease causing loose teeth, cracked or broken teeth beyond repair, overcrowding before orthodontic treatment, or problematic wisdom teeth.
The Extraction Process
We ensure you're completely numb before starting. Simple extractions are straightforward, with the tooth being gently loosened and removed. More complex cases may require surgical extraction. We'll explain exactly what to expect before we begin.
After Your Extraction
We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. Most discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers. We'll schedule a follow-up if needed and discuss tooth replacement options if appropriate.
Replacing Extracted Teeth
Unless it's a wisdom tooth or extraction for orthodontics, we'll discuss replacement options. Leaving gaps can cause remaining teeth to shift, affecting your bite and appearance. Options include implants, bridges, or dentures depending on your situation.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
