Teeth and wisdom teeth extractions in Bromley
If you are suffering from tooth pain, infection or a damaged tooth, we provide gentle tooth extractions in Bromley, including impacted wisdom teeth. Your dentist will first assess whether the tooth can be saved.
Tooth removal is usually considered a last resort. We will explain the recommended treatment, alternatives, likely recovery and full cost before you decide to proceed.

Emergency dental appointment £60
The full and final cost depends on the complexity of the procedure. Any additional imaging and the full treatment plan are discussed before you proceed.
The right approach for you
Simple vs surgical tooth extraction: what is the difference?
Your dentist will assess the position and condition of the tooth, then explain the suitable approach.
- Visible tooth above the gum line
- Tooth broken below the gum line
- Impacted wisdom tooth
- Complex roots or nearby nerves
A more complex case may need a 3D CBCT scan to assess the tooth and nearby structures. Your dentist will explain this before treatment.
Simple tooth extraction
Used when the tooth is visible above the gum line. After local anaesthetic, the dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth.
Surgical or wisdom tooth extraction
May be needed when a tooth is impacted, broken below the gum, or has complex roots. Treatment can involve a small incision and stitches.
Are tooth extractions painful?
We use local anaesthetic, a calm approach and clear communication throughout your appointment. The exact procedure and recovery depend on your tooth and the type of extraction required.

How much does a tooth extraction cost in Bromley?
The cost depends on whether the procedure is simple or surgical.

Your dentist will explain the recommended procedure and confirm any imaging or additional costs before treatment begins.
Can I brush my teeth after a dental extraction?
Avoid brushing the extraction site for the first 24 hours to allow the blood clot to settle. You can clean your other teeth carefully. After that, brush gently around the area and follow the specific instructions given by your dentist.
Can I drive after a tooth extraction?
Is swelling normal after an extraction?
Mild swelling is common, particularly after surgical or wisdom tooth extractions. It often peaks within 48 hours and then gradually settles. If swelling worsens significantly, or you have severe pain, fever or feel unwell, contact the team for advice.
Will I need a follow-up appointment?
Many simple extractions do not require a routine follow-up. For surgical or more complex extractions, we may arrange a review to check the area is healing properly. Contact us if you have concerns after treatment.
How long does recovery take after tooth extraction?
Most patients recover from a simple extraction within a few days. Surgical or wisdom tooth extractions may take around one to two weeks to settle. Initial discomfort usually improves after two or three days, and we provide clear aftercare guidance.
