In cases of advanced gum disease and tooth decay, teeth may need to be extracted.
Some patients may also develop impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause intense pain. Having them removed surgically alleviates this pain. One area in which dentists can specialise is oral surgery, an umbrella term for all dental procedures involving surgery, such as the extraction of teeth or wisdom teeth.
It is always important to get the advice of a dental professional if you are worried about any of your teeth. Never attempt to pull out your own tooth at home, as this could cause a more serious problem.
Tooth Extractions Typically Involve The Following:
Before the procedure, you may require an X-ray of your teeth.
Depending on your particular case and the severity of your problem, you may be given a local anaesthetic and offered sedation if you are anxious.
Dentists have the right equipment and sterile environment to extract teeth with the utmost care, and your recovery can be surprisingly quick.
In the case of wisdom tooth extractions, you may have some swelling after the procedure and discomfort that can be eased with over-the-counter painkillers. In cases of advanced gum disease or periodontitis, antibiotics will be prescribed to reduce the risk of further infection.
Life Benefits
Safe and sterile procedure.
Quick recovery and healing time with reduced infection risk.
I have always been impressed by the professionalism of the team at Nailsea Dental and their ability to explain in detail my dental issues.It's a friendly and caring practice and my teeth appreciate it!
I broke one of my teeth and managed to get an appointment within in two hours in spite of my regular dentist being on holiday. I think this was pretty amazing and demonstrates to me that the practice is well managed, resourced and keeps some spare capacity in the diary for emergency care.The whole reconstruction process took 7 weeks to complete initially a tempory crown was fitted and then there were two further visits. One for prep and a 3D mouth survey and one to fit the replacement tooth the manufacture of which is outsourced.Quite an interesting process and a lot of high tech equipment and adhesive materials. The dentist explained this all very well and kept me informed on what was happening. I experienced no pain during temporary crown fitting or preparation phase.Selfie of my new tooth attached.Thank you to the team at Nailsea Dental Practice.The whole problem originated from a filling I had 50 years ago that was quite large. So look after your teeth or thay will cost you plenty.
Excellent and friendly service. Appointments are easy to make and never cancelled. Email and telephone communication is clear and professional.There are minor delays before most appointments, but I have never been inconvenienced by this. The waiting room is pleasant and peaceful also.
Lovely practice - the team at reception helped keep our toddler entertained and the dental team were also great, especially with our little boy, making sure it wasn’t scary for him. Thank you!
I had a friendly warm welcome into the surgery on my first visit. I said I had fallen out of love with my once straight and white teeth. Maggie and her assistant created a plan for me and the results are terrific! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you
I recently completed my Invisalign treatment at Nailsea Dental Practice with Karine Haas, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Karine was incredibly professional, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. The practice itself is welcoming and efficient, making every visit a positive experience. My teeth look fantastic, and I have had lots of compliments. I highly recommend Nailsea Dental Practice and Karine Haas for anyone considering Invisalign treatment
I am petrified of attending the dentist, so much so I'd put off going for years which consequently led to me needing a bit of work... I was put at ease, no pain at all amd everything was at my pace. I feel so relieved that I can now regularly go to a dentist and feel safe. Highly recommend, especially if you're a nervous patient!
Since first going to Nailsea Dental Practise last year, have had nothing but excellent care. This is thanks to Maggie. I needed a significant amount of treatment and she was transparent from start to finish. Made me feel really at ease with the process we would go down and now after she has made my teeth a lot stronger and healthier.
Nailsea dental practice , I found to be very well looked after, staff all friendly maggie and Megan were lovely , and all other staff such a friendly team . Thankyou ,would recommend them to family and friends I ,suffer badly with anxiety going to the dentist , just to have someone make me feel at ease meant a lot .Many thanks Brenda Cobb
Wonderful dentists, brilliant with new and nervous patients (me!) - receptionist was super lovely as were my dentists and they put my nerves to rest, thank you so so much for your kindness and efficiency - if you're a nervous/anxious person when it comes to the dentists come to this one they will put you at ease! ❤️
Karin is an experienced dentist who is kind and listens well.She was empathetic when I decided to change my plan halfway through treatment. A perfectionist with her work.The reception staff were lovely too, telephone always answered. Appointments on time, car parking right outside the door, and prices competitive.Overall a very positive experience. I would be happy to recommend.
I don’t think that going to the dentist is high on anyone’s list of things they want to do. But it helps to find a dental practice where the people are so friendly, knowledgable, professional and competent. The practice is clean and light, as well as having up to date equipment and technology. The reception staff are pleasant and efficient. The hygienists have given me great advice and support about dental self care in a clear and non-patronising way. My dentist is the most sympathetic and professionally competent dentist I have had (over many years and different practices). Overall, the practice inspires trust in me that I will continue to receive a high quality service from people who know what they are doing and do it really well.
After breaking a tooth and being told I was no longer registered with my previous dentist I made contact with the Nailsea Dental Practice. Reception was very understanding and managed to get me booked in very quickly and efficiently. I needed a course of treatment with Maggie Nichols. All was carefully explained and a series of appointments to suit me were booked in and a schedule of costs provided, no unexpected cost shock here !Treatment proceeded as anticipated and pretty much on time.Perhaps most important was how at ease Maggie and her assistant made me feel and how relatively comfortable I felt during the treatment.I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone new to the area or looking to change.
For anyone looking for a dentist read on. Since childhood my experience with dentistry has been more Hammer House of Horror, rather than a necessary, moderatly inconvenient, time in the chair ensuring my love of all things sweet didn't, have an everlasting affect into adulthood.However, since my first consultation with Kareem and the team, all my faith in the dentistry profession has been restored. I no longer fear the chair. My experience with Nailsea Dental Practice has been overwhelmingly good. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere once you walk in the door is that of calm and professionalism. The care I have recieved has been second to non. The restoration of my smile has been nothing short of miraculous and for anyone considering dental work, complex or not, I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.I only wish I had come across them sooner.
I have been a patient at this practice for many years . All the Dentists and staff that support them are always excellent . I have had three different dentist Warren , Rachael and Maggie. You build up a real rapport with your Dentist and mine is now Maggie and their Dental nurse. They together support you and provide information so that nerves just disappear. I must also mention my hygienist who assists me keep my teeth in tip top condition I am a woman in her 70,s and have 31 teeth I lost one a few years back and have been with the practice since we came to Nailsea back in the mid 80’s . The plan we have means we see the same dentist and hygienist every 6 months ,have access to prompt emergency treatment and a reduction in treatment costs when we need further treatment . It gives us peace of mind. I thoroughly recommend them .
I have been coming to Nailsea Dental Practice with my family for a few years now. They are such a professional and friendly team and so amazing with the kids. My son required some additional dental treatment after a fall and the standard of care and follow up from Dr Karine Haas was exceptional. I would really recommend this practice to anyone moving to the area or looking to move dentists. You will feel really well looked after by Dr Haas and her team.
