Sometimes extractions are unavoidable, and our Smïl team will take the time to guide you through this process thoroughly.
Our goal is to provide patients with a comfortable, non-stressful dental extraction procedure in a friendly, supportive setting.
What is tooth extraction?
The word extraction means removal. Many reasons can lead to extractions, and they are necessary from time to time. Every step of the process will be carefully explained to you by our friendly dental team, so you know what to expect.
Our commitment to your care means we will refer elsewhere for extraction if we feel it is appropriate and safer to do so. Your dentist will discuss any referrals at the time of your consultation.
Why do I need an extraction?
Extractions are necessary for many reasons. Perhaps you need to make room for orthodontics (braces), or you may have problems with emerging wisdom teeth. In most cases, tooth extraction is the last option for a tooth that has undergone multiple treatments in the past and has no other viable options.
What can I expect at my extraction appointment?
Our friendly team will welcome you and help you settle into our comfortable chairs. Once you are comfortable, we will explain the entire process to you, including any minor risks. After you consent to proceed, we will apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area to prevent discomfort. During extraction, it is normal for you to feel pressure or pushing sensations.
Your experienced dental team will check your comfort levels regularly. If there is any other sensation than pressure or pushing, we will stop – immediately. As soon as the tooth has been removed, you will be given a gauze pack to bite on to stem minor bleeding, and you will be given aftercare instructions.
Neil is a fantastic friendly dentist. I’ve been seeing him for over 25 years now and he’s always been really accommodating to my needs. My fitted veneers lasted years beyond what was expected and so I trusted Neil to do them again for me for my upcoming trip to the USA; to which he fitted me into his busy schedule on short notice. I even travelled half way across the country to have them fitted professionally because I know he will always do a great job. I also had some composite bonding work and whitening done to which has really improved my smile greatly. Smil is a very accommodating place and all the staff and dental assistants there are very kind and helpful. Overall I know I am in safe hands with Neil and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to him. Thanks Neil and the Smil team!
I recently joined Smil following a recommendation from a friend after struggling to register with a NHS dentist. I’m not one for the dentist and have always been super anxious when visiting but these guys have been amazing, after just a few visits I already feel more comfortable and confident about the whole thing. The building is super clean and the staff are fantastic, but I must give a special mention to Neil and Rosie, both visits Rosie has been great in reassuring me as I’ve been so nervous which in return has helped me stay calm, Neil has been fantastic and explains everything that will be happening and has provided me with great advice also, I have now signed up to the monthly plan which shows just how happy I am at this dentist! Would recommend to everyone ☺️
Such a beautiful, clean practice. Neil is a fantastic dentist who makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. The reception team are also just as lovely I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist! Thank you all so much for making my trip to the dentist nice and easy. :-)
This Practice is so impressive.From the decor and ambiance to the patient service and great dental care, its a great experience.The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the dentist is skilled and put my mind at ease immediately. I will only be using this practice from now on, for myself and my family and will be sharing my experience with everyone.There is great, safe parking too, being a bonus, unlike my previous dentist.Five out of Five for me :)
Just come back from a visit to Smil. I have to say this is the best dentist I have ever had. All the staff are friendly & helpful. The premises are clean & comfy. Neil, the dentist is great, friendly & efficient. Went out of his way to fit a crown for me. The hygienist , also great. Very thorough and gentle ( not always the way with hygienists.) Unfortunately I can only give 5 stars. Would give more if I could.
After months of following Smil's progress from the start through social media, today I finally got to visit them. Whilst the practice had looked great in photos, in real life it was breath taking! The spotless modern decor and relaxing ambiance were noticeable as I walked in. Charlotte at reception was very friendly and showed me around. I was impressed to see all the state-of-the-art technology, two intra oral scanners, the CBCT machine, and the newest toy of all.. the Blanc One whitening system. I have not even come across this before, very up to date and modern.
I went for composite bonding on my front teeth. Neil the surgeon was wonderful throughout the process, giving me the best advise and the best service throughout. Everybody kept in touch throughout the process and I felt very comfortable at all times. Great service would 100% recommend. I will be using Smil for all my check ups and cleans moving forward purely based on the service I received. Thank you all.
I’ve wanted to get my teeth sorted out for years but have always been nervous and apprehensive but Neil and all the girls were absolutely lovely and made me feel at ease straight away. I had veneers fitted and it really was completely pain free and the result was amazing. My teeth now look fantastic yet natural and I would not hesitate to recommend Smil to family, friends and anyone looking for a brilliant dentist.
Very modern and friendly dental practice. Dr Moonis and his team were very professional and caring. Such a lovely interior, calms you down. Well done and all the best.
