Tooth Extractions
Gentle, careful treatment when removal is necessary
Comfortable Care, Focused on Your Well-being
Tooth extraction is sometimes the best option when a tooth cannot be repaired or is causing ongoing problems and infection.
At Pewsey Dental Practice, our priority is always to preserve your natural teeth wherever possible. However, when removal is necessary, we ensure the procedure is carried out with care, precision, and a gentle approach. Using modern techniques and clear communication throughout, we aim to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible, with treatment tailored to your individual needs.
When an Extraction May Be Needed
Extractions may be recommended in situations such as:
- Severely damaged or decayed teeth
- Advanced gum disease
- Infected or impacted teeth
- Overcrowding or preparation for orthodontic treatment
We will always discuss your options fully before proceeding.

Aftercare & Healing
Following an extraction, it is normal to experience mild discomfort as the area heals.
To support recovery:
- Avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day
- Follow post-operative instructions carefully
- Keep the area clean while avoiding disturbance
- Attend follow-up if advised
We will guide you through every step to ensure a smooth recovery.
Most patients recover comfortably within a few days, with healing continuing over the following week.
