Safe and gentle tooth removal from a highly skilled team.

 Reading Dental Spa

As ethical and caring dentists, a key part of our job is to preserve teeth where possible. However, there are occasions where tooth removal is necessary. We want patients to know that when we perform teeth extractions in Reading, it’s normally as a last resort or to solve an underlying problem like an overcrowded mouth or a problematic wisdom tooth.

Needless to say, when we have to remove a tooth or teeth, we ensure that your care, comfort and safety are our top priority. Our highly skilled dentists have nearly 50 years of combined experience, so we can truly say that you’re in safe and capable hands.

What can you expect?

In most cases, the actual process of a tooth extraction here in Reading is far less scary than the thought of it. Here’s the process in essence…

  • First, we’ll administer an anaesthetic to ensure you’re relaxed and comfortable.
  • Using specialised dental instruments, our dentist loosens the tooth and carefully lifts it from the socket.
  • Once the tooth is removed, the socket is disinfected and cleaned.
  • You’ll be asked to bite down on some gauze until a blood clot is formed.
  • That’s it!

Patients typically don’t feel anything other than slight pressure when the tooth is lifted from the socket, and most are surprised at how quick the procedure is, in some cases lasting less than 30 minutes.

Why choose us for your tooth extraction needs?

There are many reasons to choose our Reading dentist. Here are just a handful of them:

  • A relaxing spa-like setting.
  • Our two dentists have a combined 49 years of experience.
  • Noise-cancelling headphones and ceiling-mounted TV screens for your comfort.
  • A caring, patient-centred team that puts you first.

Don’t let the thought of tooth extraction in Reading prevent you from getting the oral care you need! Put your trust in the team at Reading Dental Spa, and let us show you what we can do.

FAQs

What are the advantages of removing a problem tooth?

Believe it or not, tooth extraction offers several benefits; most importantly, the removal of a badly infected tooth reduces the possibility of bacterial damage to the gums and other adjacent teeth. Additionally, in the case of problems with wisdom teeth, dental pain is alleviated almost immediately.

What do I need to know after a tooth extraction?

Depending upon the type of extraction, you’ll be given a list of post-surgical instructions. These include:

  • Keeping the extraction site clean.
  • Taking any medications as directed.
  • Where applicable, avoid any strenuous activity for 2-3 days.

What can I eat after a tooth extraction in Reading?

Try to avoid hard or crunchy foods for the first few days after extraction, or indeed, overly spicy food that may irritate the site. Most importantly, avoid drinking through a straw as this can dislodge the blood clot and cause painful dry sockets.

How will I know if there’s a problem after a tooth extraction?

In 99 cases out of 100, everything should go according to plan, and the site should be back to normal within a few days. However, if you experience prolonged discomfort for longer than a few days or continual bleeding, it could be that you have a problem. If you experience any of these symptoms, give us a call straight away, and we will take a closer look.
