Tooth removal doesn’t have to be a painful or intimidating experience.

While our first aim is always to preserve natural teeth wherever possible, there are times when an extraction is the healthiest option, for example when a tooth is severely decayed, fractured beyond repair, infected, or affecting neighbouring teeth.

We use modern techniques, gentle handling and advanced equipment designed to minimise trauma to the surrounding tissues, helping your mouth heal more comfortably and reducing the risk of post-extraction complications. Many patients are surprised by how calm and manageable the process feels.

Why patients come to us for extractions
  • Gentle, patient-centred approach focused on comfort from start to finish.
  • Modern instruments and techniques designed to support smoother healing.
  • Sedation options available for anxious or nervous patients.
  • Clear explanations and supportive aftercare.
  • Planning that considers your wider oral health and future treatment options.

When is an extraction needed?

  • Infected or causing recurrent pain.
  • Loose due to advanced gum disease.

Testimonials

What our patients say

The whole team are friendly and supportive and really takes care of you. The dental hygienist is super caring and friendly. They put your health above all. My experience has been great every time, whether a quick check with the dentist or a longer appointment with the dental hygienist; I’ve always walked out smiling.

Wolf Hill Academy

Amazing service from Dr Ahmed, Daniah, and the team. I’ve had multiple treatments done by these guys and have been elated by the service and support of the staff each time. Dr Ahmed is extremely thorough with each procedure, and Daniah is super welcoming and great at carrying on conversations!

Aleena Jilani

Lovely family environment. They are always on time, and I never have to wait over 5 minutes before my appointment. My hygienists today were Don and Leanne, and both were very friendly. Made me feel very welcome and did a wonderful job. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Vrinda Makharia

All-round solid experience. I've never really liked the dentist, but this one doesn't stress me out. I had Daniah this time; she stayed calm when there was a bit of a hiccup with a machine, and everything was fine. Good stuff.

The Long Lane promise

For us, extractions are about comfort, safety and thoughtful care, not just removing a tooth.

  • Sedation is available for patients who feel anxious or would like extra reassurance.
  • A personal, human approach. We listen, explain and move at your pace.
