General Dentistry · St Albans
Our dentist in St Albans always does everything possible to save your natural teeth — but when extraction is the right choice, we make it as gentle and comfortable as possible. We'll explain every step and discuss replacement options up front.
We may recommend extraction if:
We numb the tooth and surrounding gum thoroughly with local anaesthetic. You'll feel pressure but not pain. Most simple extractions take just a few minutes; more complex cases may take a little longer. We'll send you home with clear written aftercare advice and our phone number in case you have any questions.
After extraction we'll discuss the best way to replace the tooth — typically a dental bridge, dental implant or denture. Replacing missing teeth is important to maintain your bite, your facial appearance and the long-term health of the surrounding teeth.
