We will usually be able to see your patient and extract their tooth within a few days at the most. Where possible, we would like to see a radiograph of the tooth so that we can make a pre-operative assessment.
Please also let us know of any medical complications. The patient must be able to tolerate the procedure under local anaesthetic.
If a tooth breaks during extraction, or just refuses to move, many dentists, understandably, refer their patients to local hospital services. The problem is that there is often a lengthy wait before the patient can be seen and they may be in continued pain as a result.
We may be able to help with these patients, whilst difficult, impacted third molars should still be referred to a specialist, we can help with retained roots or difficult extractions because of thick bone, long, curved roots and so on.
Our fees for surgical extractions include suture removal and aftercare. We will usually be able to see your patient and extract their tooth within a few days at the most. Please see our current fee guide below.
TREATMENT FEE GUIDE
Most appointments for surgical extractions will be for 45 minutes including local anaesthesia, surgery, haemostasis, post operative instructions etc. We will then see your patient for suture removal and review about a week later.
Please reassure your patient that we will use local anaesthesia as appropriate and that they should feel no more than minimal discomfort during the procedure.
We have produced a patient information leaflet which may be downloaded and printed out.
