Gentle Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Basingstoke
Gentle, pain-free removal of problematic, severely broken, impacted, or crowded teeth with sedation options available.
About Your Treatment
While our primary goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, extraction is sometimes necessary due to extensive fracture, severe infection, or wisdom tooth impaction.
Our dentists use atraumatic extraction techniques, preserving the surrounding socket bone for future implants and ensuring you experience zero pain during the procedure.
What Does Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Include?
When advanced periodontal disease has weakened the supporting bone structure around the tooth.
To create necessary space for orthodontic alignment and fixed brace treatments.
When a tooth is cracked extensively below the gumline or damaged beyond restoration with a crown.
When third molars fail to erupt properly, causing recurrent pain, infection, or damage to adjacent molars.
Severe dental fractures where the root or pulp cannot be preserved safely.
Persistent apical infection where extraction and tooth replacement is the most predictable option.
What Is a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While this is typically a last resort, tooth extraction is necessary when the tooth is severely damaged or poses issues like overcrowding, advanced decay, or impacted wisdom teeth.
The procedure involves local anaesthesia to numb the area, followed by the careful removal of the tooth using specialised instruments. A surgical approach may be required for more complex cases, like impacted wisdom teeth. After the extraction, you'll receive clear post-operative care instructions to promote quick and healthy healing.

- •Severe gum disease
- •Overcrowding of teeth
