I am very pleased with the care of the dentist and staff. My teeth look amazing and fit really well. I would tell everyone to go with them.

At HQ Dental our highly trained team regularly carry out dental extractions as part of our oral surgery offering in Leeds. With over 35 years of experience in general and cosmetic dentistry, we take pride in providing a welcoming, calm environment along with the highest standards of care.
Get in touchWhether you need a routine tooth extraction or a more involved case such as an impacted wisdom tooth, we can help you get the treatment you need quickly and efficiently. If you are concerned about replacing your missing teeth, we will also be happy to help. As a leading cosmetic dentist, we can provide a range of restorative treatments to bring back a confident smile including dental implants and dentures.
There are many reasons you may require a dental extraction. These include:
• Wisdom tooth pain
• Gum disease or periodontal disease
• Injury or trauma
• Preparation for dentures or implants
• To prevent overcrowding
Sometimes teeth are difficult to extract – especially impacted wisdom teeth, retained roots and difficult buried teeth, and these need to be removed with surgery.
With complicated extractions like these it is important to retain as much bone as possible (especially if you’re planning to have implants), so wherever practical Richard (our specialist oral surgeon) uses a bone-preserving technique and piezosurgery, which uses vibration to accurately cut and remodel bone without damaging soft tissue.
Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best option for a patient. Although extraction may sound like an extreme procedure, it is common and can vastly improve your overall oral health. Your dentist will discuss the reasons for extraction with you and ensure you are comfortable with the procedure.
Dental extraction can help to:
• Reduce the risk of overcrowded teeth
• Prevent complications of overcrowding, impacted wisdom teeth, gum disease or tooth decay
• Remove painful teeth
• Stop infection from spreading to healthy teeth
• Provide an important step toward dentures or implants
When you arrive you will be welcomed by the team and shown to our comfortable waiting area. During your consultation or appointment, your dentist will talk you through your upcoming procedure and answer any questions you may have. When you leave your appointment, we will make sure you are comfortable and provide you information on how to look after the extraction site.
We understand that visiting the dentist can be a daunting prospect, but we will support you every step of the way. If you are nervous about your appointment or upcoming procedure, you can let us know in advance so we can offer extra support if you need it when you visit us.
The area around your wisdom teeth is numbed with a local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any pain at all during the removal. You may experience some discomfort and swelling after your wisdom teeth removal, but this is entirely normal and can usually be managed at home.
You may experience some mild discomfort for a few days after wisdom tooth extraction. This can last up to a week, though the healing process is usually straightforward. If you need advice after your treatment, you can call us on (0113) 279 6667.
If a tooth was removed due to injury or tooth decay it can leave a gap in your smile, which we know can be a concerning time for patients. As specialists in cosmetic dentistry, we can provide you with temporary alternatives to missing teeth or discuss the best long-lasting replacement, depending on your needs.
We are based on the outskirts of Leeds city centre and are easily accessible by car or public transport. You can find us at: Swallow House, 349 Tong Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS12 4QG.
