I have recently finished my Invisalign treatment at Aurora Dental in Corsham and was very happy with the care I received throughout. Everyone is so friendly and I was always greeted with a warm welcome from Naomi, a receptionist there. If anyone has a phobia of dentists I would recommend this practice as they all may you feel at ease. My Invislign treatment was carried out by Richard who straight away during the initial consultation was extremely helpful and professional, which he continued to be throughout my treatment. Originally, my Invisalign treatment was going to take 4 months but my teeth were stubborn and I had to have more aligners. Richard reassured me that the treatment would continue until I was happy with the finished look. (After agreeing the price of Invisalign before treatment started there would be no further cost of continuing treatment until I was happy). Few months on I have now finished my treatment and can not thank the team at Aurora Dental in Corsham enough!

Never the most fun place to visit but these people make a visit to the dentist as good as it could possibly be! I have been a patient at this practice since it opened and the quality of the treatment has always been first class. The staff are friendly and professional and I have never struggled to get an appointment at a time to suit me, even in an emergency! In recent years I have needed to have fillings and extractions as well as the normal check ups and hygienist appointments and have no complaints whatsoever. If you were looking to register with a dentist I could always recommend this one!

A brilliant choice of a dentist, friendly, explains everything, takes their time. Highly recommend. The treatment of my son today was outstanding, he was really nervous and Francine worked her magic, making him very confident in her. Thank you

Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair.

Our highly skilled dentists will only extract a tooth when a dental problem cannot be remedied by another method.

Why might I require tooth extraction?

While often a last resort for dentists, tooth extraction is sometimes required to remedy pain and to reduce the possibility of further oral health problems such as infection. Tooth extraction may also be used in cases where a person’s mouth is ‘crowded’ with too many teeth.

What does tooth extraction involve?

Your dentist will first numb the affected area with a local anaesthetic to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. The damaged tooth will then be carefully removed from its socket. The procedure is generally a short one, with the treatment taking just a few minutes.

In instances where the damaged tooth has broken below the gum line, surgical extraction may be required. This is a slightly longer procedure, involving a small incision in the gum to aid removal.

Does it hurt to have a tooth extracted?

No. Dentists routinely use local anaesthetic for tooth extraction to optimise the patient’s comfort throughout treatment. Following the procedure, there may be a small amount of discomfort which can be minimised with regular painkillers such as Paracetamol.
