Private Tooth Extractions
When a tooth becomes damaged, decayed or infected beyond repair, the only solution may be an emergency tooth extraction. At Pennypot, we understand the importance of preserving natural teeth whenever possible, but when emergency extraction is necessary, we ensure the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Expert Care Every Step Of The Way
If you require a tooth extraction, our experienced dentists are to help. We also offer emergency tooth extractions for situations where urgent treatment is needed to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
For more complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth, we can refer you to one of our expert oral surgeons who will perform the extraction safely and efficiently. Additionally, we provide tooth removal under sedation for those who may feel anxious or require additional comfort during the procedure.
Tooth Extraction FAQs
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. It is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed or poses a risk to overall oral health.
Tooth extraction is needed when a tooth is beyond repair due to decay, infection, trauma or even overcrowding. It is also commonly performed for wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing discomfort.
Sedation is not always necessary but is available for those who feel anxious or require a more comfortable experience, especially for complex extractions.
