When is a tooth extracted?

A tooth extraction is a fairly common procedure in dentistry. A tooth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are:

  • The tooth is unrestorable through tooth decay, trauma or periodontal disease.
  • Wisdom teeth may need extracting if they are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and therefore may cause recurrent infections in the mouth.
  • In orthodontics to help create space for the other teeth to be moved into straighter positions.

Tooth extractions can be done in a single appointment, with a follow up appointment for more complex cases. Our dentist will be able to advise you on the best options for your situation.

What happens at your routine check-up in Milton Keynes?

Check Up

Visit your dentist every 6 to 12 months for a routine check-up to help keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Regular visits allow potential problems to be identified and treated quickly and easily.

Examination

Your dentist will ensure you are comfortable before examining your teeth and gums.

You can discuss any concerns you may have. X-rays may be taken if closer investigation is needed.

Hygiene Advice

Your teeth may receive a brief clean during your visit.

If required, you may be referred to a hygienist for a deeper clean to remove stains caused by food, drink, or smoking.

Smile Rooms is exceptional at taking care of my teeth. Lauren is amazing at making sure I take care of my dental hygiene and providing thr most informative advice!
Percy Williams
Just had my hygiene appointment at Smile Rooms in Milton Keynes and it was a really good experience from start to finish. Reception were friendly, I was seen on time, and the hygienist was thorough but gentle, explaining what she was doing as she went and giving useful tips without any lecturing. The clinic is clean and modern and the whole thing felt relaxed rather than clinical. My teeth feel brilliant. Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steve Fanconi
Zaynab and Melody were great today. Very professional. Would recommend this hygienist.
Hannah Harvey
My hygiene clinician was Sadije and she made me feel very comfortable during my whole appointment. Spoke through every step of what she would be doing and why, making sure I was ok throughout and providing advice on best products to use.
Mobeena Shafi
Took my mum here and they were very accommodating
Simon Phillips
Had 3 appointments with Dr Roma Devnani. She did any awesome job of cleaning my very stained teeth, then 2 fillings which she handled very well and then finally whitening. At no point did she over sell treatments which was welcome, she was very consultative, fair and professional. She had a very calming manner which was great as no one likes a visit to the dentist especially me! Will be looking to take both my children to her n future. Best dentist experience I have had.
Alex Carija Perkins
Excellent, 100% recommend. Now my second time at Smile Room MK. Sadije was my hygienist, she is informative, super professional & lovely. Mo was my front of house, he’s a dude & super friendly. Come get your teeth sorted at Smile Room, you won’t be disappointed: )
Charlotte Block
Amazing experience with Dr Mo and Shannon Dr Mo doesn’t push you for any treatment and gives an honest opinion of what you require. I knew after our first meeting I would go ahead as I felt so at ease. I had a 3 hour composite bonding session where I had shaping and 6 composites as well as removal of 3 old composites. Couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you!
Emily Lewry - Dawson
I had my top 6 teeth composite bonded by Aidan and he was fab. 8 months later and I’ve had no problems. Highly recommend
Jill “JCal” Callear
Great results! In particular, the Implant procedure, completed by Julian and Stephanie, was professional and reassuring throughout. Dr Aidan and the reception staff are great too!
Wasif Abbas
I have been visiting Smile Rooms for a couple of years for my dental hygienist appointments. I have found the service good and the staff friendly. I recently went there for a regular dental check up with Dr Roma, who was exceptional in the appointment both technically and interpersonally. I will highly recommend her. 😊
Ross R
Fab experience from start to finish with my front tooth implant. Dr Julian and his team were wonderful from the initial consultation through to the final check up a year later. Great team!
Ana
I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr Aidan to fix an open bite and it’s been a really great experience overall. Straightforward and easy to manage. You do have to stay on top of brushing and care, but I’d still choose Invisalign over braces any day. Being able to take them out briefly and properly clean all your teeth is such a big plus. I’m really happy with the prompt results and the support throughout. Updating my review for another clinician since I can only post once: Lauren is the best hygienist I've had at Smile Rooms since I became a patient in 2023. Couldn't recommend her enough 🫶 She's amazing with sensitive teeth and always leaves them looking spotless. Special thanks to the nurse Stephanie too!
Rish Mattu
had a hygiene appointment with Roma and really impressed. Was really reassuring throughout the appointment
Kelth Clark
The Smile Rooms team always provide excellent and friendly service in a comfortable, soothing envirinment. Special mention for dentist Pritesh who is skilled, professional and nice, and for Tia who is always friendly, professional and sensitive to how we are feeling. Thanks to all the team.
Laura Eidukaite
Absolutely fantastic experience with Smile Rooms Milton Keynes! I had my Invisalign treatment here and I’m so happy with the results and my new smile. The whole team have always been friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We’ve been so impressed that Smile Rooms has now become the dentist for our whole family, including our children. Everyone is always welcoming, patient and brilliant with the kids, which makes dental visits so much easier. I would definitely recommend Smile Rooms Milton Keynes to anyone looking for a dentist they can trust. Thank you to the whole team for taking such great care of our family! 🦷😁✨ And fingers crossed for that electric toothbrush! 🤞😂
ines dias
I had such a great experience with the whole team at the dentist! From start to finish, everyone was so welcoming, friendly and professional, which made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process. I had composite bonding done and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. The attention to detail was amazing, and my teeth look so natural and exactly how I wanted them. I’m super happy with the work and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering composite bonding. Thank you so much to the whole team especially Dr Mo Hatabi and Natasha 🤍
Ambi
Had my composite bonding fixed here and also a retainer, lovely service and so happy with my results!
jo no
Sadije and Shannon performed a swift and thorough cleanse of my teeth and gums. It was much needed treatment ahead of upcoming my composite bonding procedure and they also gave me a lot of useful general tips to help me keep my teeth clean at all times. Pritesh Patel and his assistant provided me with fantastic composite bonding treatment. Both dentists were very personable and informative throughout the entire procedure, I throughly recommend Jaden
Kirsten Kalabza
I recently had composite bonding completed by Dr Mo, and the experience from start to finish has been exceptional. Despite feeling nervous about altering my smile, Dr Mo provided clear explanations, reassurance, and consistent support throughout the process. I felt fully informed and comfortable at every stage. I would highly recommend his care. Thank you so much Dr Mo and Daniela!

What is General Dentistry?

General Dentistry covers all oral care, ranging from prevention through to treatment of any dental health concerns.

At Milton Keynes, our team are dedicated to long term preventative dental care for the whole family.

Dentistry today has evolved, using the latest, gentlest modern techniques we aim to provide outstanding private dental care at affordable prices.

Treatments include routine dental check ups, hygiene visits through to root canal treatments. Effectively, anything that contributes to your overall oral health.

Treatments such as crowns, veneers, implants count as cosmetic dentistry as they significantly impact the appearance of the tooth.

What is tooth decay?

It is estimated that around 1 in 3 adults in the UK have tooth decay.

Tooth decay is when acids in your mouth dissolve the outer layers of your teeth.

The acids are formed by the bacteria in your mouth combining with small particles of food (particularly carbohydrates found in sugary food and drinks) and saliva to form a sticky film (plaque).

If the plaque is allowed to build up, the acid begins to break down the outer surface of the tooth.

Eventually this can enter and cause damage to the soft matter at the centre of the tooth.

What are the symptoms of tooth decay?

Tooth decay may not show any visible symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. The symptoms of tooth decay include:

Z

Tooth sensitivity

Z

Bad breath

Z

Brown, black or grey spots appearing on your teeth.

Z

An unpleasant taste in the mouth

How is tooth decay treated?

FIRST STEP

In the early stages of tooth decay our dentist may apply a protective fluoride varnish to help stop further decay.

Second Step

For later stages of tooth decay, depending on how advanced the issue is you may require a filling.

If the decay has travelled into the soft matter of your tooth, you may need root canal treatment.

Last step

In severe cases where the tooth cannot be restored it may need to be removed.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used to treat infection at the centre of the tooth, treating this is also known as endodontics.

The aim of the treatment is to avoid extracting the tooth, and in most cases is successful in preventing this.

The infection in the tooth is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and then enter the tooth.

The infection can be caused by damage to the tooth or trauma, such as after a fall or by advanced tooth decay.

What is the procedure for root canal treatment?

FIRST STEP

After numbing the area, the tooth needs to be cleaned by the endodontist and the infected soft tissue inside the tooth is gently removed.

Second Step

The tooth is then packed with a biocompatible material.

Last step

Following the root canal treatment, a filling or crown is placed on the tooth to restore the functionality and protect the tooth.

When is a tooth extracted?

A tooth extraction is a fairly common procedure in dentistry. A tooth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are:

  • The tooth is unrestorable through tooth decay, trauma or periodontal
    disease.
  • Wisdom teeth may need extracting if they are impacted (stuck and
    unable to grow normally into the mouth) and therefore may cause
    recurrent infections in the mouth.
  • In orthodontics to help create space for the other teeth to be moved
    into straighter positions.

What is a dental filling?

A dental filling is used to restore a tooth damaged by decay to a more normal function and shape.

The process involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area and then filling out the cavity with a dental filling material such as porcelain or a tooth coloured resin (composite).

Amalgam (silver coloured) fillings can be offered; however, by nature they are visible and many people choose to replace these for a more natural looking filling.

The advantage of a dental filling is that it helps prevent further decay, and consequently more complex treatments.
