Extraction
Gentle removal of a tooth that genuinely cannot be saved, under local anaesthesia.
What it is
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged, loose or impacted to keep. An extraction removes it gently under local anaesthesia, with clear aftercare so it heals well. Wherever a tooth can be saved instead, that option is always discussed first — and where a tooth is removed, replacing it (with an implant or bridge) can be planned.

Questions patients ask
Will the extraction hurt?+
The area is fully numbed, so you feel pressure rather than pain. Any soreness afterwards is managed with simple painkillers.
Should I replace the removed tooth?+
Often, yes — a gap can let other teeth drift. Dr. Nikita can plan an implant or bridge where suitable.
