Tooth Extraction – Beautiful Smiles Dental and Facial Transformation Centre

Tooth Extraction

Wherever possible, we will endeavour to protect your natural teeth from requiring extraction.

However, in some cases this is the most effective way to ensure the long-term health of your mouth.

Reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary

A tooth can’t come through because it is impacted (this is very common with wisdom teeth).

A tooth is severely damaged, loose as a result of gum disease or infected, and root canal treatment is no longer a viable course of action.

You may need crowded teeth extracted prior to starting orthodontic treatment.

FAQs

1. How will it feel to have a tooth extracted?

Modern developments in the field of dentistry have paved the way for discomfort-free extractions. You should be comfortable throughout as we use a local anaesthetic before gently removing the tooth from its socket.

If you feel some discomfort after treatment, this should only be very minor and easily controlled with over-the-counter painkillers.

2. Can I go back to my normal routine afterwards? 

We recommend setting some time aside to rest after your tooth has been extracted. Any discomfort usually resolves within a few hours.

3. Do I need to replace my extracted tooth? 

If you are having your wisdom teeth removed, these don’t need to be replaced. However, if you have lost a tooth due to gum disease, a dental infection or as a result of facial trauma, it’s in the interest of your oral health to replace them. We recommend having a dental implant placed, which will ensure your jawbone remains strong and healthy. Implants are the restoration that have the most likeness to real teeth, as they replace the root of your lost tooth.

We recommend a bone graft once a tooth has been replaced, as this will prevent your jawbone from receding. We can also perform bone grafting to prepare a patient with low jaw bone density for dental implants.

I’ve always been conscious about my teeth and have wanted some treatment & advice asto how to look after them better & improve their appearance.Dr Nora was absolutely amazing. She put me at ease & explained the different treatment options that were available to me.She was very patient and very gentle with her dental examination & took the time to actually walk & talk me through each stage of the assessment & treatment plan.We now have a plan of action to start my treatment & I cannot wait for the results.I also took the opportunity to speak to Dr Nora & Robyn about my skin concerns - after having a facial scan we have a plan of action to help me deal with my uneven skin tones and my hyper pigmentation issues.I cannot wait for my results & am grateful to Dr Nora & her team.I would definitely recommend this practice to others.

Dr Nora is so passionate about what she does and you can tell! She’s very skilled and was so patient with me. The clinic is gorgeous! I honestly cannot believe the transformation of my smile I’m so happy. I gave her a relatively tight time frame to sort out my teeth, after 7months of braces, whitening and composite bonding the result is better than I ever thought! The zoom whitening is brilliant and will definitely consider it again.Brilliant dentist, lovely clinic!

I really dislike going to the dentists and was super nervous when I first met Dr Nora for a consultation. From the initial consultation to now finally having a beautiful smile, I can truly say it has been an amazing experience and one of the best life decisions I have ever made. Yes you may have to spend 2-3 hours in the "chair" but both Dr Nora and Farah made the time go by so quickly. It was painless, relaxing and I would do it again. From Dr Nora, to the practice staff/manager, each individual is an amazing human and have made this experience an unforgettable one. You will always feel welcomed at Beautiful Smiles!

I have never been one to like going to the dentist, I’ve just never had good experiences with them. But Dr Nora and her staff absolutely changed my attitude about going to the dentist as a whole. She was very informative and helped me understand everything that was going on with my teeth and exactly how it should be dealt with.For the first time in a long time I’ve actually smiled and showed off my teeth, I love smiling now.Her new practice in Victoria Park is state of the art.So, if you have teeth you need to go see Dr Nora!

I’m currently in the middle of my treatment with Beautiful Smiles and the staff are brilliant, very friendly and easy to talk too. My gum contouring treatment with Hind went really well, She explained everything in detail before which made me feel a lot more confident, and now it has healed I am very happy with the results! Would recommend.

**Best Composit Bonding In Leicester**I saw Dr Nora for a consultation for my teeth, I was not happy with some as my teeth as they were back and not straight. I had composite bonding done at the practice. I was very happy with my results and cannot stop smiling. The staff are so welcoming and professional and the practice smelt amazing.

I have always received wonderful care from Dr Nora. She is warm and very simple to deal with. My 12 year old son also finds her kind and understanding. She is absolutely at the top of her game. A well-deserved five stars.
