Have you had a root canal or crown and still suffer tooth pain? Sometimes, teeth can become so severely damaged that they cannot be helped or restored.

Here at Mint Dental, we do everything we can to ensure tooth extraction is a last resort for permanent teeth, but in some cases, it might just be unavoidable.

But don’t worry—if you have to lose a tooth in the visible portion of your smile, we have dental implant specialists who can replace any teeth we have to pull, so you won’t have to worry about gaps ever being a problem.

Why a tooth extraction might be necessary

At Mint, our primary aim is to preserve your teeth. However, in certain situations, our general dentists, periodontists, or oral surgeons may need to perform tooth extractions to maintain the overall integrity and stability of your oral health.

Before pulling a tooth, we will perform all the necessary assessments to check your teeth, gums, and mouth and develop a treatment plan to preserve them best. However, when tooth extractions cannot be avoided, we go the extra mile to ensure the procedure is as painless as possible.

Here at Mint, our skilled and experienced specialist dentists are on hand to perform tooth extractions for several reasons, which include:

Irreparable tooth damage or decay

When tooth decay reaches the tooth’s centre (pulp), bacteria are produced, causing an infection. Root canals are usually used to help treat this infection. However, depending on the severity of the infection, a dental surgeon might recommend extraction to prevent its spread.

At Mint Dental, our expert dentists will examine the affected area and tooth and can prescribe the best dental solution moving forward. Whether it’s a root canal or an extraction, with Mint, you can trust that we will deliver the safest, most comfortable, pain-free procedure that best preserves your oral condition.

Severe periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums, bone, ligaments and other structures surrounding the teeth. In its early days, periodontal disease takes the form of gingivitis, solely an infection of the gums. However, the longer this goes untreated and ignored, the more severe your periodontal disease will develop and spread.

Mint Dental provides periodontal treatments delivered by gum experts. These treatments can restore the health of your teeth and gums and support tooth structure. We also offer advanced periodontal therapy, which can help prevent further dental issues and alleviate the symptoms of gum disease.

In its most aggressive form, periodontal disease can cause teeth to loosen, in which case tooth extraction might be necessary.

That said, tooth extraction will not cure gum disease. However, we can begin to treat the condition more precisely and work on replacing the teeth with dental implants to ensure the vital bone structure is not lost.

I chose Mint Dental Clinic after searching for various dental clinics offering sedation and I had an incredible experience thanks to the entire team!! I am terrified of the dentist with a phobia of needles, and I avoid going for check-ups to the point where I developed a huge amount of cavities. After my teeth were analysed by Dr Patel's team, they identified that some of them needed urgent fillings. As sedation is expensive, the team was helpful and patient in helping me figure out the right financial plan to tackle everything before my teeth worsened, including adding extra teeth cleaning for free! I had IV sedation twice for two rounds of fillings across a month, and each time I was put at ease despite coming in the clinic with intense anxiety. I cried as I sat in the chair with the IV in my arm due to my fear of needles. They were kind and patient, and the nurses / sedationists helped calm down my breathing despite the panic. I was terrified of being 'awake' but not being able to communicate or breathe. The team was very reassuring in those fears and I had a lovely experience where I remained conscious but with amnesia, so I had 0 trauma afterwards since you have no memory of anything! The team made me feel heard and supported without being judged. They made sure my chaperone knew everything before bringing me home, and all of my teeth are healthy without any complications post-appointment. I am now ready for routine work without the intense fear of dentistry and feel much more ready to start any dental work WITHOUT sedation in the very near future!

The whole team at Mint, starting from the moment you walk through the door (or call up) are focused on providing excellent care.  Great reception team and Orman especially, always goes that extra mile. My dentists (Dr Mehdi and Dr Alves) are very personable, thorough and ensured everything was explained clearly, and only proceeded once I'd understood and was content. Whilst in the chair, both dentists were checking in making sure I was doing ok throughout it all. Then at the end, checked I was happy and offered an open-door to return, for some tweaks if necessary. I am very happy with the results. I always feel completely at ease for my visits, so much so that I look forward to them. Highly recommend! >

I’ve had an outstanding experience at this clinic. Dr. Raj Patel delivers exceptional quality work and somehow makes every treatment feel completely painless. It’s amazing having all types of dental care under one roof, and the whole team really focuses on prevention rather than quick fixes. After completing my treatment, I now have a healthy, confident smile that still looks natural. The hygienists are fantastic, and every member of the team is warm, professional, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing. If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t the place for you—but if you want thorough, honest, high-quality dentistry, I can’t recommend this clinic enough.

I’ve had an excellent experience at this dental practice. My hygienist Peter is absolutely brilliant, thorough and incredibly skilled at what he does. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes each visit comfortable. A big shout-out as well to Arman at reception. He’s always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the whole process from booking to check-in smooth and stress-free. Overall, a fantastic team and a dentist I truly trust. Highly recommend!

I inquired about Invisalign's earlier this year at this clinic, as I was quite self conscious of my teeth. I had a very insightful conversation with Arman who gave me a thorough explanation regarding the process, treatment, what to expect results wise, and the cost. This then led me to begin my Invisalign journey, and from start to finish it has truly been seamless, immensely effective, and so beneficial. Dr Sharma did an exceptional job throughout, and helped in understanding the developments to expect, how it occurs, and overall making my experience extremely easy and efficient. The service was immaculate from the receptionists, Dr Sharma and his assistant dentist. Also as of recent, I’ve been getting hygiene checkups by Danica and I must say she has been amazing. She explained the anatomy of my teeth and gums in detail, and made me understand much more about dental hygiene and its cruciality. Overall I have no complaints whatsoever, and will 100% refer this clinic to friends and family, as they produce and prioritise high-quality work and service. Extra shout out to Arman as he’s been extremely helpful, and looked after me very well.

I highly recommend this dentist. Dr Patel is an exceptional professional, and my family and I have been attending for many years. Since we moved to the Clinic, even my son, who never liked going to the dentist, now looks forward to his visits. The dental hygienist is also excellent. The reception team provide consistently high service, always polite, welcoming and professional.
  
 
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 

Helping impacted teeth

When a tooth is impacted, it is blocked from coming out, which is often the case with wisdom teeth.

In such cases, our inredible dentist, Dr Francesca Pantanali, might recommend removing the impacted tooth to prevent it from damaging existing teeth. By pulling a tooth this way, we also help minimise the risk of infection or overcrowding.

However, before making this recommendation, we will thoroughly examine the affected area because we are committed to delivering exceptional treatments and patient care.

Eliminate overcrowding

Tooth extraction for one or several teeth is often necessary in overcrowding, class II malocclusion cases.

Often, when patients wish to undergo orthodontic treatment but there is not enough room for the teeth to shift and realign correctly, it might be necessary to remove teeth to make room.

Our dentist will examine how crowded your teeth are and accurately predict the amount of room required to give your set of teeth better alignment.

Dental trauma or accidents

When sporting accidents or traumas like car collisions occur, we prioritise preserving the teeth, whether with bonding, crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants. However, tooth extraction might be required, and other restorative methods might be prescribed in cases where the dental issue is beyond hope.

At Mint Dental, we offer crowns to prevent tooth loss, and our implant specialists also place dental implants that replicate natural teeth.

We can perform two types of tooth extractions

1. Simple extractions: These are usually performed on teeth in the visible portion of the smile under local anaesthetic.
2. Surgical extractions: Often performed when teeth cannot be easily accessed or have not fully erupted or broken under the gumline. Surgical extractions typically are performed under general anaesthetic.

Tooth extraction is the last possible consideration as a dental solution – consult with our specialists to understand why you might need one, or perhaps if there’s anything we can do to save your smile.
