Teeth Extractions

in Solihull

We Will Only Extract
Teeth as a Last Resort

An extraction is the dental term used to describe the removal of a tooth from a patients mouth.

I have been using Ascent Dental for the 3 years, during that time I have had a range of treatments including fillings, an extraction under sedation, Damon braces, teeth whitening and contouring. I was a very nervous patient, but the team have been supportive and understanding and for the first time in my life I don’t dread visiting the dentist! I finally have the smile I always wanted, and I am sooo pleased with the results!! I would recommend them to everyone.

Why Would I Need to
Have an Extraction?

The most common reason why you may need to have an extraction is because the tooth has been irreversibly damaged or decayed to the point that it will be healthier for the mouth and remaining teeth to be removed.

In all instances of our treatments for our patients, tooth extraction is always the last resort because keeping your natural teeth for as long as possible will always be the best and preferred option for your long term dental health.

What Can Cause a
Tooth to Be Removed?

These are the main factors that can lead to a tooth requiring an extraction:

Severe tooth infection/decay/trauma – Past the point of saving the tooth
Supernumerary teeth – additional teeth that appears alongside regular teeth and blocks other teeth from coming through
Advanced gum disease
Dental abscess (collection of pus around gums/teeth)
Teeth that cannot be saved through root canals (endodontics)
Fractured teeth
Impacted third molars (blocking the wisdom tooth from coming through)

Also with traditional braces you may of needed a tooth extracted to make room for your new straight teeth (due to overcrowding issues). However, with modern brace systems it is now possible in the majority of cases to treat overcrowding without having to extract a tooth.

Excellent service, rang with a very painful toothache, given emergency appointment and recommended next steps. Following not being able to move up the NHS waiting list and still in pain returned after Christmas for extraction. What i was expecting to be a horrible painful process was done painlessly and efficiently and i cant speak highly enough of both Dentists i saw and the rest of the team. Highly recommended.

Do I Need to Have My Tooth Extracted?

If you are experiencing pain with a troublesome tooth or it doesn’t look quite right, we recommended that you come in to see us so we can asses the effected tooth. We always work to the principles that extracting a tooth is always the last resort as your natural teeth are very precious and are irreplaceable (even though modern restorations come pretty close).

Even though there are many different types of modern restorations that are available (and are very effective), it is always the best to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible, and prevent any dental problems through regular oral hygiene and dental care. Prevention will always be better than the treatment in terms of oral health, cost and pain caused by any problems.

Extractions for
Nervous Patients
Sedation Available

Extractions can be a stressful time for any patient. Even though we carry out extractions under local anesthetic which numbs the site of the extraction and eliminates pain. You may feel pressure and movement around the tooth which can be an uncomfortable experience. Our dentists always practices slow and steady techniques to reduce any uncomfortable feeling during treatments, but the whole situation of an extraction can become too much for really nervous patients.

We offer IV sedation for nervous patients that can be used with all treatments. IV sedation will induce a complete relaxed state for the patient. Even though the patient won’t be fully under, the whole experience will be a completely/partially lost memory that renders the whole visit to the dentist as pleasant, calm and not stressful.

I have always been self-conscious about my smile and choosing Ascent Dental Care in Solihull was the best decision I’ve made. I’m currently undergoing a smile makeover treatment. I want to say a huge thank you to Devan for my fabulous gum lift procedure! Thank you to Yasmin and Jespal for putting a plan in place so I can FINALLY get my perfect smile. The whole team are very professional and supportive. I honestly can’t fault them.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I would 100% recommend Ascent Dental Care. I can’t wait to see the final results because I know I’m in good hands :)

Thank you so much!!!

I have been visiting Ascent Dental for a year now as I required an implant to one of my front teeth. I have been treated by Dr Faresh Desai and I have found him to be very skilled technically and someone who has extremely high standards with regard to his treatment and the appearance of the finnished product. I would recommend him and his team, who are all very friendly and efficient. Before choosing Ascent Dental I explored a number of other dentist who all came up short with regard to my expectations, but Faresh has met all of them and as such I have now had a second implant.

Incredible customer service, a consistently professional team that manage your cosmetic dentistry course and all its aspects. I put off my improvements for years because of horror stories I had heard about cosmetic outcomes, but delighted I picked Ascent Dental Care Solihull to finally manage my treatment. So a big thank you to Laura the cosmetic dentician and Rose for holding my hand proverbaly as I went through my course. A special mention for Laura’s supporting technicians and the reception staff, an excellent team full stop.

You are in good hands.

I recently went to Ascent Dental Care for a scheduled cleaning and mentioned I had chipped a tooth and wanted some other work done. Doctor Coughlin arranged for my tooth to be repaired and for my other work to be done immediately after my cleaning, despite the practice being busy at the time.

From the moment i entered, i was met by the lovely receptionist and staff. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. They addressed all the questions and concerns i had and were able to give me recommendations. They were completely transparent and clear about what the treatment may entail. Definately the best dentist I have ever been too! Very excited for the plan they have made for me. 10/10 :)

I had a great experience with Yasmin being my Dentist at Ascent. She reassured me every step of the way throughout my journey. I had my teeth whitened, a new crown fitted and some composite bonding. I was so happy with the final result. Thankyou! 🤍 …

I have recently finished my treatment and I couldn’t have asked for more. I have the confidence to smile again and all within 6 months…..pretty amazing! The team at the practice are professional and friendly and really put you at ease. I had no problems booking appointments around my working day which was an extra bonus. I would 100% recommend this dental practice!

Put off visiting a dentist for some years and need a host of work undertaking. Laura and her assistant Georgie were great. Very professional and compassionate about relieving my anxiety about visiting a dentist. A friendly vibe throughout all the staff creates a relaxed atmosphere I’d reccomend to anyone.
