Complex & Failed Tooth Extractions

At Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic, we understand that not every tooth extraction is straightforward. For those cases where a standard extraction becomes difficult or fails, Dr. Vivek Giddani offers expert minor surgical extractions in the comfort of our state-of-the-art Tavistock practice.

Although most tooth extractions proceed without issues, complications can occasionally arise. A tooth may fracture during removal, or it may prove too complex to extract using routine techniques. In such cases, general dentists may not have the required surgical skills, and patients are usually referred to secondary care at a hospital.

Unfortunately, hospital referrals often come with long waiting times — sometimes several weeks or more. At Abbey Mead, we aim to reduce your wait and your discomfort by seeing patients for complex extractions within just 7 days of referral.

What is a Complex Tooth Extraction?

A complex or surgical extraction is needed when:

  • The tooth is severely fractured or broken.
  • A previous extraction attempt has failed.
  • The tooth has unusual roots that are difficult to remove.
  • The tooth is impacted or embedded in bone.

During a minor surgical extraction, Dr. Vivek Giddani carefully lifts gum tissue, removes any obstructing bone if necessary. He then extracts the problem tooth using expert techniques, ensuring maximum comfort and minimal healing time.

We are fully equipped to handle these procedures safely and efficiently right here in our clinic, avoiding the need for stressful hospital visits.
