Tooth Extraction: What to Expect
Surgical Extractions with Our Oral Surgeon
Some teeth simply cannot be removed with a routine extraction and require a more advanced surgical approach.
This is typically recommended when a tooth is impacted, has curved or multiple roots, has broken at the gum line, or is only partially erupted beneath the gum surface.
A surgical extraction may also be needed for retained root fragments, teeth situated close to nerves or sinuses, or roots that are unusually curved or complex in shape.
At Oakdale Dental, surgical extractions are carried out on-site by our Oral Surgeon, meaning you receive specialist-level care in a familiar, comfortable environment — with no hospital referral required.
Wisdom Tooth Removal in Leicester
Wisdom teeth — or third molars — typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. When there isn't enough space for them to come through correctly, they can become impacted, leading to pain, swelling, recurring infections, and damage to neighbouring teeth.
At Oakdale Dental, wisdom tooth removal is performed by our Oral Surgeon, ensuring you receive expert specialist care in a familiar, comfortable setting. For patients who feel nervous about the procedure, sedation is available to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout.
Patients from Leicester, Glenfield, Enderby, and the surrounding areas choose Oakdale for their wisdom tooth removal thanks to our experienced team, gentle approach, and the reassurance of having specialist care available right here at the practice.
