Tooth Extraction
Tooth Extraction in Edinburgh – Safe, Fast & Professional Care
At Frederick Street Dental Care, we understand that the thought of having a tooth removed can feel daunting. However, when necessary, tooth extraction is a safe and effective way to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and protect your long-term oral health. Our experienced dental team provides both routine and emergency tooth extractions in our calm, modern clinic located in the heart of Edinburgh. Whether you’re dealing with a broken tooth, infection, or wisdom tooth pain, we offer a gentle and reassuring approach every step of the way.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Our priority is always to save your natural teeth. But in some cases, removing a tooth is the best solution for your overall health. You may need an extraction if the tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or damaged beyond repair. Gum disease can also loosen teeth, making removal necessary. Other reasons include overcrowding before orthodontic treatment, problematic wisdom teeth, or a painful dental abscess that cannot be resolved with root canal therapy.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your visit begins with a full dental assessment, including a digital X-ray to examine the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone. Once we’ve confirmed that extraction is the right course of action, we’ll numb the area with local anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free procedure. The tooth is gently removed, and if needed, we’ll place stitches and provide clear aftercare instructions to support safe healing. We can also prescribe antibiotics or pain relief if required. Our focus is always on keeping you comfortable — especially if you’re nervous or visiting us for the first time.
Simple, Surgical & Emergency Extractions
We perform simple extractions when the tooth is fully erupted and easy to remove, often in just one appointment. For impacted or broken teeth, a surgical extraction may be needed, which involves a small incision and precise removal. If you’re experiencing intense pain, swelling, or infection, we can usually offer a same-day emergency extraction to relieve your discomfort immediately.
What is the tooth extraction procedure at Emergency Dentist Edinburgh?
When you visit our clinic for a tooth extraction, you can expect:
- The type of treatment needed to remove a tooth largely depends on where the tooth is located. During the consultation appointment, the dentist will evaluate X-rays and discuss the treatment options with you.
- Before the operation, the procedure will be explained to you, you will be given a local anaesthetic injection to numb the area around the tooth so that the treatment is carried out comfortably and to make the patient more relaxed and at ease. You’ll feel some pressure just before the tooth is removed, as your dentist or oral surgeon needs to widen the tooth socket by rocking the tooth back and forth.
- Careful removal of the affected tooth
- Post-extraction care instructions
Our team uses advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a speedy recovery.
