Tooth Extraction: What to Expect
Surgical Extractions with Our Visiting Oral Surgeon
Some teeth cannot be removed with a straightforward extraction and require a more advanced surgical approach. This may be recommended if the tooth is impacted, has curved or multiple roots, has broken at the gum line, or is partially erupted beneath the gum surface.
At Oakdale Dental, our visiting Oral Surgeon carries out surgical extractions on-site, meaning you receive specialist-level care without the need for a hospital referral. Patients who may need a surgical extraction include those with impacted teeth, retained root fragments, teeth in close proximity to nerves or sinuses, or teeth with unusually shaped roots.
Wisdom Tooth Removal in Leicester
Wisdom teeth — or third molars — typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. When there is insufficient 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 visiting Oral Surgeon, ensuring you receive expert specialist care in a familiar, comfortable setting. Patients from Leicester, Glenfield, and surrounding areas choose us for their wisdom tooth extraction thanks to our experienced team and welcoming approach. IV sedation is available for patients who feel anxious about the procedure.
