At Dental Galleria, we provide carefully planned dental extractions in Putney for patients from Ryde and nearby areas. When a tooth is badly damaged, infected, loose or cannot be restored, our dentists will assess the area and clearly explain the most suitable treatment option.
We understand that having a tooth removed can feel a little daunting. Our team takes a calm and gentle approach, helping you feel comfortable and supported from your first assessment through to recovery and aftercare.
A dental extraction is the careful removal of a tooth from its socket. At Dental Galleria, keeping your natural teeth healthy is always our priority, so an extraction is only considered when a tooth cannot be comfortably or predictably restored. This may be due to severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease, significant damage or overcrowding.
Before recommending tooth removal, our dentists will examine the area and may take an X-ray to understand the tooth and surrounding structures more clearly. We will explain why an extraction may be needed, what the procedure involves and what to expect afterwards. Our calm and supportive approach helps make the process feel less overwhelming, with your comfort and long-term oral health considered at every step.
If you have a painful, damaged or infected tooth, our Dental Galleria team is here to help. We will carefully assess the area, explain whether an extraction is needed and make sure you understand what to expect before moving forward.
At your appointment:
Our dentist will carefully examine the affected tooth, surrounding gums and any symptoms you have been experiencing. An X-ray may also be taken to check the tooth roots and nearby structures, giving us a clear picture before recommending treatment.
We will explain why a dental extraction may be needed and talk you through the most suitable approach. Where another treatment may help save the tooth, we will discuss this with you first. More complex cases may require extra planning or referral to an appropriate specialist.
Before the extraction begins, our dentist will carefully prepare the area and make sure you feel settled and comfortable. We will explain what is happening as we go, helping the appointment feel calm, clear and well supported.
The tooth will be carefully loosened and removed using an approach suited to its position and condition. Some extractions are relatively simple, while badly damaged or difficult-to-reach teeth may require a little more time. Our team will guide you through the procedure and check on your comfort throughout.
Once the tooth has been removed, we will check the area and give you clear aftercare instructions to follow at home. This includes advice on eating, cleaning your mouth and looking after the extraction site as it heals. Our Dental Galleria team will also let you know what to expect during recovery and when to contact us for further support.
