How much is a surgical extraction in London?

Surgical extraction at Sure Smile Clinic London starts from £280, depending on the tooth and its difficulty. You will always have a written quote before we begin.

Is a surgical extraction more painful than a normal one?

Not during the procedure — you are fully numb either way. Afterwards there is usually a little more swelling and stiffness for two to three days.

Will I need stitches?

Usually yes, and they are almost always dissolvable, disappearing over one to two weeks. Non-dissolvable stitches are removed at a short review visit.

Can I have an implant afterwards?

Yes. We often place graft material at the time of extraction to preserve the bone, and implants are typically placed three to four months later.

How long should I take off work?

Most people return the next day for desk-based work; allow two to three days if your job is physical.

Surgical Tooth Extraction at Sure Smile Clinic, London

When is surgery needed?

The crown has broken off at or below the gum
The tooth is root-filled and brittle
Roots are curved, divergent or fused to bone
The tooth is impacted or unerupted
A retained root fragment is causing infection

Protecting the site for the future

If you may want an implant later, we can place graft material into the socket at the same appointment — socket preservation. It maintains ridge width and height and makes future implant treatment simpler and more predictable.

Aftercare that speeds healing

Bite firmly on gauze for 30 minutes, use ice for the first day, then warm salt rinses. Stick to soft food, keep the rest of your mouth clean and avoid smoking. Discomfort peaks on day two and improves steadily from there.
