Some teeth can’t be removed with a simple extraction — they may be impacted, broken below the gumline, or positioned in a way that requires a more careful surgical approach. At Spixworth Dental Practice, our experienced clinicians perform surgical extractions safely and comfortably.
We combine advanced techniques with a gentle, reassuring approach to ensure you feel supported throughout the entire process.
A surgical extraction is a procedure used when a tooth cannot be easily accessed or removed in one piece. Unlike a simple extraction — where the tooth is loosened and lifted out — a surgical extraction may involve:
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure you feel no pain. Sedation is also available for patients who feel anxious or nervous about the treatment.
Your dentist may recommend a surgical extraction in a number of situations where a standard extraction would not be sufficient:
We’ll always carry out a thorough assessment — including X-rays — before recommending surgical extraction, and we’ll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
Assessment and imaging — detailed X-rays are taken to plan the safest, most effective approach.
Anaesthesia — the area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic, with sedation available if preferred.
Incision — a small, precise cut is made in the gum to access the tooth and surrounding bone.
Removal — the tooth is carefully removed, sometimes in sections, to minimise disruption to surrounding tissue.
Closure — dissolvable stitches are placed if needed, and full aftercare advice is given before you leave.
Most patients recover well after a surgical extraction. Here’s what to expect in the days following your procedure:
We’ll provide you with detailed written aftercare instructions and are always available by phone if you have any concerns during your recovery.
Surgical extractions are available on the NHS when clinically necessary — for example, impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Treatment is provided at standard NHS Band 2 charges.
Private surgical extractions offer faster access, more flexible appointment times, and sedation options for anxious patients. Ideal if you want to be seen quickly or prefer a more relaxed treatment experience.
We’ll always explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Our specialist team at Spixworth Dental Practice is here to help — safely and comfortably.
