Tooth removal (or tooth extraction) involves having one or more teeth completely removed from your mouth. NW1 Dental Care offers pain-free tooth removal treatment in London by our experienced dentists in a comfortable and stress-free environment.
Before extracting the tooth, an x-ray is taken of the area to decide what appropriate technique shall be used to extract the tooth. A local anaesthetic is then administered to numb the tooth and its surrounding area. You will be closely monitored throughout the procedure in order to minimize discomfort.
Simple Extraction: These are the commonly performed extractions for most of the cases. After numbing the tooth, the dentist will loosen and then grasp the tooth with special dental instruments and take it out. Usually takes approximately 30-45 mins from start to finish.
Surgical Extractions: Theses generally are more complicated. A small incision (cut) into your gum is made. The gum and/or bone tissue may cover or surround a tooth in a way that makes it difficult for the dentist to access therefore, sometimes it’s necessary to remove part of the bone around the tooth or to cut the tooth in half in order to extract it. Your dentist may need to place stitches around the gum once the extraction has been completed.
Post-operative instructions are given at the end of your treatment which you must closely follow to ensure a swift and healthy recovery. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection and avoid anything that might prevent healing. In order for the healing process to work the area must be cleaned regularly. You must also
Expect some bleeding after extraction which is normal. When this happens you must sit in a right up position, with your head and shoulder raised. Gently bite onto the bite packs (gauze) given to you at the surgery for about 10-20 mins. If your experience soreness or discomfort, take whatever pain relief you would usually take for headaches but avoid aspirin which only encourages the bleeding. For any swelling apply ice packs and call the dentist right away.
Remember, when having a tooth removal, today’s modern technique and follow up care ( as recommended by your NW1 Dental Care dentist) are there for your benefit and comfort.
Wisdom teeth are the last four of the large grinding teeth (molars) at the back of your mouth to come through.
Wisdom teeth surface usually by the time people reach their late teens or even at a later stage after the rest of milk teeth have been replaced by adult permanent teeth. Due to their late arrival, they can sometimes be problematic as they press against the existing teeth and compete for space. Some get stuck while erupting, leaving a flap of gum over the erupting tooth. Others are known to over-erupt or grow too long.
While many people have no troubles with a wisdom tooth and some might even never have them, unfortunately, some people suffer pain, swelling, and even infection. NW1 Dental Care can help such patients alleviated their problems by usually prescribing over-the-counter antibiotics and mouthwashes to cure problems. However, depending on your case or if medication fails to resolve the issue, we emove your wisdom teeth to provide a permanent solution to your discomfort and pain.
Wisdom teeth removal means having one or more of the third molars (your wisdom teeth) at the back of your mouth taken out. Wisdom teeth removal is amongst the most common of our NW1 Dental Care oral surgery procedures. Our dentist will examine your case and then make a decision about the necessity for wisdom teeth removal. The procedure takes place under a local anaesthetic.
After your wisdom tooth extraction or impacted wisdom tooth removal, as with any surgery, it is natural to experience some swelling or bleeding. You may also experience some pain for which over the counter painkillers can be used. The dentist will advise you on what to expect and on measures you can take to counter the effects of any pain or bleeding.
The cost of tooth removal at any major oral health practice in North London including our NW1 Dental Care Practice varies from case to case. It depends on the type of surgical procedure required depending on your individual case.
At NW1 Dental Care, we offer affordable, competitive prices compared to our competitors and charge a nominal fee for this treatment. Please refer to our fee guide for tooth removal treatment cost but the dentist will be able to provide you detailed breakdown after assessing your case.
Testimonials
I’ve been a client since 2018 and my experience has been AMAZING. From reception to end of procedure all the staff involved are always extremely friendly and professional. So far I have had Invisalign and whitening with Anima as well as many small treatments and I’ve always been impressed with the quality of service the whole team provides.
Daniel Danailov, London
Lovely environment and staff! There were some issues with communication that I expressed previously with things taking longer than expected, however, the team went above and beyond to make sure that everything was going on the right track! I’m thankful for their time and effort and excited to see my results for my zoom whitening!
Abigail Xo, London
So impressed with the staff and dentists at NW1. They are welcoming, always professional and have done a fantastic job on any treatment I’ve had done. Lidiya is super friendly and accommodating.
I most recently had zoom whitening course and composite bonding treatment, I’m so thrilled with the results I’m going back for more :). I’ve recommended to my friend who will be coming in soon for similar treatment.

Peter James, London
After having 3 consultations for Invisalign in London, i decided to go with NW1 Dental Care. Not only do they have fantastic price compared to other clinics but their service right is amazing. The way they listened to my concerns and explained me everything in consult showed how they are different to other practices. On top of that, service all throughout the Invisalign treatment was great ! Finished my treatment and really happy with the results ! Thank you NW1 Dental Care team.
Andrew Smith, London
I came over to NW1 Dental Care in July 2020 from Finest Dental after they went bust. I’ve been continuing on my Invisalign treatment with them ever since (as well as had a few fillings plus a root canal) and although the Finest Dental fiasco (!!) was stressful at the time, it was a blessing in disguise, I cannot fault NW1 Dental Care at all. From the receptionists (love Lydia!!) to the actual dentists, it’s always a pleasure visiting them. They always listen to me and make sure I’m comfortable, are prompt in booking appointments and generally just great people to be around. I’ll be quite sad when my treatment comes to an end, but rest assured they have a loyal patient in me now and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for treatment I may need in the future.

Best dentist experience!
I am usually very anxious when going to the dentist but doctor Ioana made me feel at ease and comfortable at all times. She takes time explaining every procedure and makes sure it is all painless. All staff are kind and professional! I highly recommend this practice.
Mihaela Croitor, London
At first I came here for laser zoom whitening and the results were great. I contacted the team at NW1 Dental Care for further whitening as my teeth were slowly going back to normal and they suggested I do a 12 day home treatment and the results have been amazing! My teeth look whiter than ever and I prefer this over other treatments such as veneers. The team are kind, caring, and will genuinely go out of their way to help you and make sure you’re satisfied. I can’t recommend them enough. Huge thanks to the receptionist and dentist who helped me! Hope to come again soon when I need some more gels!
Mr. Rest, London
Professional and polite. Answered phone immediately for appointment, and even called me back to book earlier when they got an opening. Cleaning done by Dentist (though I’m fine with a trained Assistant), and she was super nice, informative, and great “bedside manner”. Has occasional promotions for things (whitening, hygiene) and now even has monthly plan starting at £15! Quick walk from the metro in a nice area.
