When is a tooth extracted?

A tooth extraction is a fairly common procedure in dentistry. A tooth may need
to be extracted for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are:

  • The tooth is unrestorable through tooth decay, trauma, or periodontal disease.
  • Wisdom teeth may need extracting if they are impacted (stuck and unable to
    grow normally into the mouth) and therefore may cause recurrent infections
    in the mouth.
  • In orthodontics, to help create space for the other teeth to be moved into
    straighter positions.

Tooth extractions can be done in a single appointment, with a follow-up
appointment for more complex cases. Our dentist will be able to advise you
on the best options for your situation.

What Our Patients Say

Katie Hodder
I am so glad I found Reading Smiles! I’ve been seeing Dr Mo for the past three years and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. I have been consistently impressed with the level of care I receive.
Caron Walker
Dr Sham is absolutely lovely! She really listened to my concerns and talked me through the best options, allowing me to decide what felt right. My teeth look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I’ll definitely be showing off my bright new smile at my daughter’s upcoming wedding. Thank you, Dr Sham! 😁
Josh Chick
I had to book an emergency appointment as the wire on my brace was too long and causing some discomfort. I was really pleased to be offered an appointment on the very same day. Ajay was fantastic, friendly, efficient and professional. Although it was a relatively quick fix, he made the whole experience quick and easy. Thanks, Ajay!
Ben Mitchell
I chose Reading Smiles for my Invisalign treatment because: Dr Sami is professional, reassuring and attentive. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and has answered all my questions with honesty. Harriet, the treatment coordinator, has been incredible. Her frequent touch points are always friendly and helpful. she has been supportive and engaging from the start. The care and professionalism at Reading Smiles is exceptional!
ioan florin Zabava
After giving 3 stars for the cleaning of my teeth, today I was having a wisdom tooth removal and I just need it to come back to this review to make it 5 because doctor Johana Zibova was exeding my expectations on how nice, professional, patient and being 100% shore that i won't feel the pain or uncomfortable with the procedure. Again, like I've said on my previous review, very clean, very professional all stuff and least but not last, they have in my opinion very very good prices. Just to get an ideea, what it costed me on them 270£, on another clinic they request 675£. I will let you judge if this clinic have good prices or not. Again, thank you very much guys but especially doctor Johana Zibova.
Alex Phillip

Dr Dhillon is fantastic and my entire invisalign experience was super smooth. Couldn’t be happier with the result
Cal
I had an amazing experience at my hygiene appointment today. Dayle and Kalpae were absolutely lovely and made the whole appointment feel comfortable and easy. Ana and Mavara on reception were also so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment I arrived. Such a lovely team and a really positive experience overall. Thank you all!
Megan Shuttleworth
I started my Invisalign journey just under a year ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr Yousif and Revu were amazing, they made me feel comfortable and well informed throughout the process. Dr Yousif’s experience with Invisalign made me feel more comfortable during my treatment since he had extensive knowledge and patiently answered my many questions. The receptionist team were always lovely and welcoming, especially Imogen who helped me to get started at the beginning of my journey. All in all a great experience and I am very happy with the final result!
Emilycrshea 99
Love Reading Smiles! Always a nice friendly, easy service. Daisy & Cloe both lovely on the front desk :)
Joyce Blake
Dr Johana is so kind. Taking the time to explain what was needed to be done and appreciating and understanding my anxiety especially regarding an extraction. The removal of the tooth was painless and her explanation of aftercare was detailed. A follow-up appointment reassured me everything was good and I could now start my treatment with Romosozumab for osteoporosis. Thank you so much Dr Johana for your care.
Daria Nalewajek
I had a really positive experience at the practice. The reception team is extremely professional, welcoming and friendly. Nigel is an excellent dentist. He is very professional, approachable and attentive to detail. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes you feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I really appreciate the care and attention. I would highly recommend Nigel and the whole team for their professionalism, care and welcoming approach.
Helen James
Dear Reading Smiles , I just wanted to say a huge Thank you to Dr Sonam and his lovely assistant Daisy for putting me at ease during my appointment . Dr Sonam is extremely thorough and very patient and talked me through the whole appointment and how healthy my teeth are. Can't recommend him more highly. Thanks again.
Mario Casha
Smile in Reading provided exceptional care and professionalism during my recent tooth extraction. The entire team displayed remarkable compassion and coordination from the moment I arrived until the end of my procedure. Mario, in particular, stood out as an outstanding individual who truly made a difference on a challenging day. They took the time to consider my health conditions, which made me feel genuinely cared for. Every team member, from the reception staff to the final procedure, contributed to delivering seamless and high-quality care. Dr. Johanna’s care was truly exceptional, and I felt completely at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Smile to anyone seeking top-tier dental care supported by a kind and cohesive team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction. A big thank you, during a difficult time.
Adam
Dr Johana and all of the team were incredible. They are always so welcoming, I highly recommend Reading Smiles
Jordan Hockley
Highly recommend this dental practice! After putting off going to the dentist for over 18 years following a traumatic experience, it was only a matter of time before I had to sit in that chair again! Eventually, it got to the point where eating had become uncomfortable, and despite my fear, I knew I had to do something. I was taken care of by Ajay, who helped me every step of the way, both with my anxiety and throughout the treatment. He was incredibly patient, reassuring and professional, which made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Although the treatment is quite pricey, they do offer finance options, and in my opinion, the outstanding care and quality of the work made it worthwhile. I will happily be returning for my future treatment. So, to anyone who is scared or anxious about going to the dentist — don't put it off! I spent 18 years avoiding it, and honestly, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. 😁 Thank you to Ajay and the team!
DyCe EbhIrons
Great experience, the staff are very welcoming and Dr Yusef was so helpful throughout the treatment and I’m very happy with the results
Pia fordham-weir
I'm getting my Invisalign with Ajay and he's so lovely and making me very comfortable with the experience! All the staff are incredible and so welcoming can't recommend this place enough!
Kieran O'Dea
I was recently treated by Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb, and they were both fantastic. They replaced a broken veneer and repaired several fillings. Dr Dhillon clearly explained all the available options and provided realistic timeframes for the treatment. Throughout the treatment, both Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb explained what was involved and made sure I was comfortable and experienced no discomfort. From my initial appointment through to having my new veneer fitted, they made me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb to anyone looking for excellent dental care.
Lucas Young
I've only had positive experiences with Reading Smiles. The staff are incredibly friendly. My appointments all happen on time. The facilities are clean. And I recently had a filling which is normally torture, but they made it incredibly painless and and and efficient so I'm glad to be one of their clients and will happily go there for not only routine dental work but I'm looking at getting implants there as well.
Kelsey Thomas
I’m so glad I found Reading Smiles! I was in a lot of pain and the lovely reception team managed to fit me in for a same day emergency appointment. Dr Sham was really kind and took the time to explain everything clearly, so I knew exactly what was going on and what my options were. Everyone made me feel really comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
Amy Clark
Dr Philo is so lovely and welcoming, also always asked if I was ok during treatment (teeth fillings) and also (hygienist appointment) highly recommend seeing Dr Philo at Reading smiles! Will definitely be booking him in for my future treatments.

What is General Dentistry?

General Dentistry covers all oral care, ranging from prevention through to treatment of any dental health concerns.

At Smile Rooms Aylesbury, our team are dedicated to long term preventative dental care for the whole family.

Dentistry today has evolved, using the latest, gentlest modern techniques we aim to provide outstanding private dental care at affordable prices.

Treatments include routine dental check ups, hygiene visits through to root canal treatments. Effectively, anything that contributes to your overall oral health.

Treatments such as crowns, veneers, implants count as cosmetic dentistry as they significantly impact the appearance of the tooth.

What is tooth decay?

It is estimated that around 1 in 3 adults in the UK have tooth decay.

Tooth decay is when acids in your mouth dissolve the outer layers of your teeth.

The acids are formed by the bacteria in your mouth combining with small particles of food (particularly carbohydrates found in sugary food and drinks) and saliva to form a sticky film (plaque).

If the plaque is allowed to build up, the acid begins to break down the outer surface of the tooth.

Eventually this can enter and cause damage to the soft matter at the centre of the tooth.

How is tooth decay treated?

FIRST STEP

In the early stages of tooth decay our dentist may apply a protective fluoride varnish to help stop further decay.

Second Step

For later stages of tooth decay, depending on how advanced the issue is you may require a filling.

If the decay has travelled into the soft matter of your tooth, you may need root canal treatment.

Last step

In severe cases where the tooth cannot be restored it may need to be removed.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used to treat infection at the centre of the tooth, treating this is also known as endodontics.

The aim of the treatment is to avoid extracting the tooth, and in most cases is successful in preventing this.

The infection in the tooth is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and then enter the tooth.

The infection can be caused by damage to the tooth or trauma, such as after a fall or by advanced tooth decay.

What is the procedure for root canal treatment?

FIRST STEP

After numbing the area, the tooth needs to be cleaned by the endodontist and the infected soft tissue inside the tooth is gently removed.

Second Step

The tooth is then packed with a biocompatible material.

Last step

Following the root canal treatment, a filling or crown is placed on the tooth to restore the functionality and protect the tooth.

When is a tooth extracted?

A tooth extraction is a fairly common procedure in dentistry. A tooth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are:

  • The tooth is unrestorable through tooth decay, trauma or periodontal disease.
  • Wisdom teeth may need extracting if they are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and therefore may cause recurrent infections in the mouth.
  • In orthodontics to help create space for the other teeth to be moved into straighter positions.

Tooth extractions can be done in a single appointment, with a follow up appointment for more complex cases. Our dentist will be able to advise you on the best options for your situation.

What is a dental filling?

A dental filling is used to restore a tooth damaged by decay to a more normal function and shape.

The process involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area and then filling out the cavity with a dental filling material such as porcelain or a tooth coloured resin (composite).

Amalgam (silver coloured) fillings can be offered; however, by nature they are visible and many people choose to replace these for a more natural looking filling.

The advantage of a dental filling is that it helps prevent further decay, and consequently more complex treatments.
