Tooth Extraction in Weymouth
Calm, Professional Care When Extraction Is Necessary
Why Choose DK Dental for Extractions
-
Surgical expertise in-house
Dr Sara Banuri holds an MSc in Implantology with a background in oral surgery. Complex and surgical extractions are carried out in-house, ensuring continuity of care from assessment through to aftercare. -
Extraction as a last resort
We only recommend extraction where saving the tooth is no longer clinically viable. Where appropriate, alternatives such as root canal treatment will always be discussed first. -
Comfort-focused care
Local anaesthesia is used for all extractions. We ensure you are fully comfortable before treatment begins and check in with you throughout. - Planned tooth replacement Where a tooth is removed, we discuss replacement options such as dental implants at the same appointment, so you leave with a clear plan.
Types of Extraction We Carry Out
Simple extraction
For teeth that are fully erupted and accessible, removed under local anaesthesia in a single appointment.
Surgical extraction
For teeth that are impacted, broken below the gum line, or require a more advanced approach.
Wisdom tooth extraction
Wisdom teeth that are impacted, painful, or affecting neighbouring teeth are commonly treated.
What Extractions Can Address
- Severe decay where the tooth cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease with significant bone loss
- Cracked or fractured teeth beyond repair
- Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
- Overcrowding as part of orthodontic treatment
- A failed root canal where retreatment is not suitable
- Preparation for dental implants or other restorative care
Your Treatment Journey
Assessment
We examine the tooth and take digital X-rays where required to confirm whether extraction is the most appropriate option. Alternatives are discussed before proceeding.

The extraction
Local anaesthesia is administered, and we ensure you are fully comfortable before proceeding. Treatment is carried out as gently and efficiently as possible.

After a lot of difficult times with previous dentists, the staff at DK dental practice have been calm, explained everything clearly and in ways that I understood and spoke through all the payments clearly with breakdowns. They have been amazing and have calmed down most anxiety I've had with dentists.![]()

Sara is fantastic. I’ve been with DK Dental for more than 13 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Sara has a wealth of experience and expertise, plus she’s kind, considerate and very gentle as a dentist, which is needed when you have sensitive teeth at times. I have to others and would recommend her as your dentist.![]()

I recently had a crown prepared and fitted by Stephen, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and precision he brought to the entire process. From start to finish, he was meticulous, attentive, and clearly committed to getting everything absolutely right. He took the time to explain each step, checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable, and approached the fitting with a level of detail that gave me complete confidence in the final result. The crown feels natural, looks fantastic, and the whole experience was far smoother than I expected. Stephen’s professionalism and skill truly stand out. I’m grateful for the care he provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for high‑quality dental work. Thank you very kindly to the best dentist I have ever had :0)![]()

Thank you so much for the treatment I have just received, Dr Banuri has finally after many years given me trust and confidence at the dentists, I have allways dreaded going to the dentists to the point of avoiding going but finally I have found a dentist who Listened to my concerns about having treatment especially the dreaded injection before treatment. Took onboard my fear of the visit, Dr Banuri took her time with me to listen and gave me time to calm down and started and at all times asked if I was okay and did not make me feel embarrassed. I cannot praise the clinic enough. It was on a family recommendation and finally made the phone call and the made the appointment and straight away from speaking to the receptionist to arriving at the clinic and leaving it was just great. Keep up the good work and will be recommending this clinic to everyone. If you are nervous like me about dentists, you will be in safe hands. A big thankyou Especially Dr banuri.![]()

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the extraction be painful?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia and should not be painful. You may feel pressure, but not sharp pain.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within a few days, although the area continues to heal over several weeks.
What is dry socket?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot is disturbed during healing. Following aftercare advice helps reduce this risk.
Can I drive home after treatment?
If you have had local anaesthesia only, you are usually able to drive once you feel comfortable. We will advise you based on your treatment.
What are my options for replacing a missing tooth?
Options include dental implants, bridges, or dentures. We will discuss the most appropriate solution for your needs.
