How long does it take to heal?

The soft tissue typically heals within one to two weeks, while the bone underneath continues to remodel over a few months. Most people return to normal activities the next day.

What can I eat after an extraction?

Stick to soft, cool foods for the first day or two and chew on the opposite side. Avoid very hot food, smoking, and drinking through a straw, as these can dislodge the healing clot.

Should I replace the extracted tooth?

Replacing a missing tooth helps maintain your bite and stops neighbouring teeth from drifting. We will discuss implant, bridge, or denture options where appropriate.

What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. We always try to save a natural tooth first, but extraction is sometimes the best option when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to repair.

When is extraction needed?

Common reasons include severe decay or infection that cannot be restored, advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth, a tooth broken below the gumline, or making room as part of orthodontic treatment. We only recommend extraction when it is genuinely the best choice for your health.

Simple vs surgical extraction

A simple extraction removes a visible tooth and is usually quick and straightforward. A surgical extraction may be needed for teeth that are broken at the gumline or not fully erupted. We will explain which applies to you before we begin.

Healing and aftercare

A blood clot forms in the socket and the area heals over the following days and weeks. We give you simple aftercare instructions — gentle rinsing, soft foods, and avoiding smoking or straws — to protect the clot and prevent a painful dry socket.

Replacing the tooth

Where appropriate, we discuss replacing the extracted tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture to maintain your bite, appearance, and the alignment of neighbouring teeth.
