GDC 293167.Meet Dr Riaz ›When a Tooth Can't Be Saved
Most teeth are rescued with a filling, a crown or root canal treatment. The exceptions are below.
Too Broken to Restore
The crack runs below the gum, or too little tooth remains for a crown to grip.
Infection That Won't Clear
An abscess that won't settle even with root canal treatment, or an old root filling that has failed.
Advanced Gum Disease
So much supporting bone has gone that the tooth is loose beyond saving.
Wisdom Teeth
Teeth that are impacted or only half through, keep getting infected, or decay because brushing can't reach them.
Making Room
Sometimes a tooth is removed so orthodontic treatment has the space it needs.
Baby Teeth
A stubborn baby tooth that is stopping the adult tooth behind it from coming through.
Routine or Surgical?
Most are routine. A few call for a little more.
How It Works
Assessment and X-Ray
We X-ray the tooth to see its roots and the structures around them. If a wisdom tooth lies near the nerve, our on-site CT scanner pinpoints its position.
Numbing
We use local anaesthetic: you'll notice pressure, but no pain. Sedation, if you've opted for it, comes first, and you'll recall little of the appointment.
The Extraction
Routine extractions take minutes. A surgical extraction takes longer and finishes with dissolving stitches.
Afterwards
After a few minutes biting on gauze, you leave with written aftercare and advice on painkillers. If anything needs reviewing, we'll check the socket is healing well.
Replacing the Tooth
A missing back tooth doesn't always cause trouble. Over time, though, neighbouring teeth can drift into the gap, the opposing tooth can over-erupt, and the socket bone shrinks during the first year. If you plan to replace the tooth, decide how before it's removed.
If the tooth shows when you smile, an immediate denture (£600), or a resin-retained bridge fitted straight away (£550 a unit), lets you walk out with no gap. Where the bone allows, a dental implant can go in at the time of extraction; otherwise it often goes in a few months later, once the socket has healed.
Dr Imran Riaz, our Eastman-trained oral surgeon, also places dental implants, which means the extraction and the replacement are planned as one.

Toothache, or Told You Need an Extraction?
For pain, there are same-day appointments. We can also give a second opinion on whether it's possible to keep the tooth, and sedation is available.
