Clinical Overview & Urgent Access
When a tooth is severely broken below the gumline, affected by an advanced infection, or causing acute pain that cannot be stabilised conservatively, prompt dental extraction can relieve pressure and protect surrounding tissues. Following a face-to-face clinical assessment and diagnostic X-ray, our Leicester clinicians confirm whether extraction is the most appropriate option and explain all alternatives and fees upfront.
When Urgent Extraction Is Assessed
Common reasons include vertical root fractures, non-restorable deep decay, loose teeth with advanced periodontal bone loss, or impacted wisdom teeth causing recurrent pericoronitis.
Local Anaesthetic Comfort & Digital X-Rays
Before any procedure begins, a digital radiograph evaluates root shape and proximity to nerves or sinuses, and effective local anaesthesia ensures comfortable treatment.
Written Aftercare & Healing Support
You leave with clear post-extraction instructions covering clot protection, pain management, salt-water rinsing timelines, and emergency contact details if dry socket symptoms occur.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an emergency tooth extraction cost in Leicester?
The clinical assessment charge is £50, with additional charges for necessary diagnostic X-rays or prescriptions. Urgent tooth extractions start from £295 depending on tooth position and surgical complexity. Full estimates are confirmed before treatment.
Can you extract an infected or abscessed tooth on the same day?
Suitability for same-day extraction is determined during your in-person assessment. Where acute swelling or trismus limits opening, the clinician may first drain the infection or prescribe targeted antibiotics before safely removing the tooth.
Do I need to be registered at the clinic beforehand?
No prior registration is required. We see unregistered patients from across Leicester and the Midlands 7 days a week.
