Dental Extractions
While our goal is always to preserve teeth where possible, sometimes an extraction is the best—and only—option to protect your health, relieve pain, or prepare for further treatment. At Riseley Street Dental, we approach extractions with care, precision, and your comfort as the top priority.
Gentle, skilled tooth removal when it’s truly needed
While our goal is always to preserve teeth where possible, sometimes an extraction is the best—and only—option to protect your health, relieve pain, or prepare for further treatment. At Riseley Street Dental, we approach extractions with care, precision, and your comfort as the top priority.
Whether it’s a broken tooth, stubborn baby tooth, or one that’s beyond repair, you’ll be in experienced hands. We perform almost all extractions right here in the clinic using a gentle, well-planned approach to minimise trauma and speed up healing.
When is tooth extraction needed?
We may recommend removing a tooth if it is:
- Severely decayed or infected
- Broken below the gum line
- Loosening due to advanced gum disease
- Causing pain or crowding
- A baby tooth that won’t fall out naturally
- Blocking the eruption of other teeth
- Non-functional or impacted (e.g. wisdom teeth)
We’ll always explain your options first and help you feel confident in your decision before proceeding.
Comfort-first approach to extractions
Tooth removal doesn’t need to be a traumatic experience. We take time to carefully assess and plan each case, and we use:
- Gentle local anaesthetic
- Careful, minimally traumatic techniques
- Oral or IV sedation if you’re anxious or having multiple teeth removed
- Post-op care and pain management guidance to support healing
Most extractions are quick and straightforward—but we never rush. You’ll be kept informed every step of the way.
FAQs: Dental extractions at Riseley Street Dental
Will the extraction hurt?
No—we use effective local anaesthetic to ensure the area is fully numb before we begin. You may feel some pressure, but not pain.
How long is recovery?
Initial healing takes 2–5 days, depending on the tooth and complexity. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions and let you know what to expect.
Can I be asleep for the procedure?
Yes. We offer IV sedation (sleep dentistry) for patients who are anxious or undergoing surgical or multiple extractions.
What are my options after the tooth is removed?
We’ll discuss your tooth replacement options (such as implants or bridges) during your consultation so you can plan ahead if needed.
Do baby teeth ever need to be extracted?
Yes—sometimes baby teeth don’t fall out on their own, block adult teeth, or become decayed beyond repair. We’ll always use the least invasive option and make the experience as easy as possible for children.
