Dental Extractions Treatment Overview

Dental extractions are a common and effective procedure used to remove a tooth that is severely damaged, infected, or no longer restorable. While preserving your natural teeth is always the priority, there are situations where removing a tooth is the best way to protect your overall oral health and prevent further complications.

There are two main types of dental extractions:

Simple extractions, performed on visible teeth
Surgical extractions, required for broken, impacted, or difficult-to-access teeth

With the use of local anaesthesia and optional sedation, most extractions are completed quickly and comfortably, allowing you to return home the same day.

Who This Treatment Is For

Dental extractions may be recommended for patients experiencing a variety of dental issues. You may need this treatment if you:

Have a severely decayed or broken tooth that cannot be repaired
Are suffering from advanced gum disease (periodontal disease)
Have a tooth infection or abscess that cannot be treated with a root canal
Experience overcrowding and need space for orthodontic treatment
Have impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth
Have loose teeth due to trauma or bone loss

Our team always aims to preserve your natural teeth wherever possible. Where infection sits at the root tip after a root canal, an apicoectomy can often save the tooth rather than removing it. However, when a tooth cannot be saved, extraction becomes the safest and most effective solution to restore your oral health.

Procedure / Process Explained Simply

At The Ackerman Clinic, dental extractions in New Milton are carried out with precision and patient comfort in mind.

Step 1

Consultation & Examination

Your dentist will assess your oral health and take digital X-rays to determine the condition of the tooth and whether extraction is necessary.

Step 2

Personalised Treatment Plan

A customised treatment plan is created based on the complexity of your case. Sedation options are discussed if you feel anxious about the procedure.

Step 3

Anaesthesia & Comfort

Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area completely
Sedation is available for nervous patients
You remain comfortable throughout the procedure

Step 4

Tooth Removal

The tooth is gently loosened and removed in simple cases
For surgical extractions, a small incision may be made
The tooth may be divided into smaller sections for easier removal
The area is cleaned thoroughly to reduce the risk of infection

Step 5

Aftercare & Recovery Guidance

After the extraction, gauze is placed to control bleeding, and you’ll receive clear aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

Most procedures are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity.

Problems It Solves

Dental extractions help eliminate discomfort and prevent more serious dental problems. This treatment can effectively resolve:

Persistent toothache or severe dental pain
Spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums
Swelling, abscesses, and inflammation
Difficulty eating or chewing properly
Overcrowding that affects alignment and bite
Risk of further complications if damaged teeth are left untreated

By removing the affected tooth, you can protect your remaining teeth and create a healthier foundation for future treatments such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery after a dental extraction is typically quick and manageable when proper care is followed:

Mild swelling and discomfort are normal for the first few days
Pain can be managed with medication
Stick to a soft food diet initially (soups, yoghurt, mashed foods)
Avoid smoking, alcohol, and strenuous activity for at least 24–48 hours
Keep the area clean while avoiding direct brushing over the extraction site

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, while complete healing of the area usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the procedure.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a really positive experience with the clinic and its staff. I initially came to see Dr Ackerman for Smile White orthodontic treatment after another dentist dismissed my case due to the alignment of my teeth and wasn’t willing to explore treatment options. During the process, I needed a filling, and Dr Ackerman arranged for me to see a private dentist within the clinic. The repair was completed quickly and to a high standard, allowing my aligner treatment to continue without delay. Throughout my treatment, every visit was thorough and professional. Dr Ackerman was always friendly, approachable, and welcoming, both to me and to my daughter when I occasionally needed to bring her along. My teeth are now beautifully straight, and while my dental journey isn’t quite finished, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to the clinic for future treatments such as implants or veneers. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment or other dental work.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was advised to have the crown taken off an impacted wisdom tooth which was causing infection, and then a bone graft would be put on the jaw under the gum line. I am an extremely nervous patient but was made to feel at ease by the whole team who explained the procedure and the options for sedation.  I opted to have IV sedation and have no regrets about paying the extra money for this. I did not feel a thing and I don't remember anything about it. In fact, I was told that I was snoring for the last 20 mins of the procedure. The follow up care and advice was excellent with a review booked in 3 weeks after the extraction. Mr Puttur, the Dental Nurses, the reception team and the sedationist delivered exceptional care and understanding which was important to me as a patient, hence why I am giving a 5 star review.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent treatment. Everything was explained fully before treatment and I was very satisfied with how everything went and the post treatment plan given to me. I was very nervous beforehand as had bad experiences with Dentist in the past, but they helped me relax and helped me through the whole process.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been attending the Ackerman Clinic this past year for a bone graft and 2 implants. I had my final visit today when Dr Putter fitted two perfect implants. I’m thrilled with the result. Everyone at the clinic is very friendly and Dr Putter is a perfectionist. My new teeth are perfect. The bone graft was done in an hour and a half and the result was positive. It was not painful and I just needed painkillers when I was recovering at home afterwards.   The equipment they have at the clinic is first class. Thank you Dr Putter and all the staff.

They were there while I was doing my clear aligner treatment and gave a warm and welcoming atmosphere every time I had an appointment. Very inclusive, professional, informative and overall friendly. Would recommend them 10 out of 10 times.
