teeth may need to be removed or extracted, when they have suffered from an injury or infection that leaves them unable to be repaired, either because of tooth decay, trauma or severe gum disease.
we will always conduct a full check-up of the tooth and your mouth before we suggest the removal of a tooth as being the only viable option and we will also talk to you about what choices you have to close the gap that is left behind once the tooth is removed.
our dentists are really good at removing even the more difficult and broken down teeth.
at our sister practice in cambridge, we are also able to offer you advanced services like wisdom tooth removal and sedation if you are nervous. we can organise a referral to our team there if you feel it will that having your tooth out under sedation would be better if you are very nervous.
frequently asked questions
what happens after a tooth is taken out?
we can talk about different ways of having the gap closed depending on where the gap is, how many teeth are missing and what your budget is. options include bridges, dentures and implants.
i don’t want to have a gap at all – can you put something in straight after removing the tooth?
yes, we can – we can give you a temporary bridge or denture to close the gap immediately but it does come with some cosmetic compromises – the dentist can talk you through all the details if you wish to have this option.
will it hurt?
once we get you numbed up, it will not. of course, you will feel some movement, but it shouldn’t hurt. if you are really nervous we can refer you to our practice in cambridge to have the tooth out under sedation.

Couldn't recommend enough. From the initial appointment the team were outstanding. Dr Kishpatel has worked wonders I had composite bonding and teeth whitening. I've had so many compliments about how nice my teeth look. We worked to my budget and I didn't feel pressured to go above. The team are so helpful and make you feel at ease. Thank you again.
I visited March Dental for my first appointment yesterday and was blown away my the amazing experience I received. I was warmly welcomed by a very polite Kira at reception who was extremely helpful, welcoming and professional whilst getting me registered and ready for my appointment. I was dreading my appointment following a bad experience elsewhere but knew at once I was in safe hands. My dentist Priti and her accompanying nurse Georgia were so warm and friendly, chatting to me to help with the nerves. They were reassuring, professional and very skilled dentists. I ended up needing a filling and didn't feel a think as they worked seamlessly. Overall it was a great experience and if these three employees are anything to go off, I would highly recommend March Dental to everyone! Thank you again to Kira, Georgia and Priti!
I have just been to the hygienist (Jess) and dentist (Hayley) and both were really lovely, friendly and professional.Linzi made the booking process easy as see rang with cancellations for my daughter who needed to be seen before going to uni and made sure my appointments were set up too.Highly recommendAnd exit directions outside the treatment rooms are genius, I always go the wrong way!!!
March Dental has a really good atmosphere, all the staff are lovely and the treatment you get is great.Rebecca on reception is so friendly always smiling and welcoming.
What can I say, 5 star all the way!!!Dr Kish Patel and the team have been amazing from the first point of contact. Always friendly and helpful, I was also very anxious after listening to others that had veneers fitted in Turkey, can honestly say my experience was brilliant and my nerves put at ease each time I visited.My treatment has taken around 18 months. I was fully aware of each step and everything was made clear, no hidden surprises.I had been to several dentists previously, nobody compared to Dr Kish Patel.The actual treatment I had done is out of this world! After removal of a tooth, a bridge fitted, several veneers and some bonding they look so natural, with people commenting on how great (natural) they look. I could not be happier and cannot thank Dr Kish Patel enough. I have never felt comfortable smiling, but now I can’t stop!Thank you all so much!
Amazing service and experience at this dental practice! Becca was the lady at reception who assisted with booking me in and helping with any questions I had
Was at March dental for some fillings. I have to say the service and welcome was very good. From Reception to the dental chair. Haley and Megan the dentist and dental nurse were friendly, explained clearly the process and gave the impression of being very good at their jobs. An Excellent Team.
Thank you to Dan, Amy, the nursing and reception teams at March Dental. My teeth were a shade of yellow due to age, cancer treatment, and general wear and tear. I had further discolouration on my two front teeth and a canine. I felt most self conscious and didn't like to smile. But now, I am smiling all the time. Everyone at March Dental are courteous and professional. Dan the dentist explained in detail and so I fully understood about the Boutique Whitening process and the further composites for the more discoloured areas on my teeth. The whitening process is straightforward to use and, although a little uncomfortable (increased sensitivity on teeth) is not painful. I felt the price was competitive and I had the reassurance of a trained team were taking care of me and regularly checking my progress. Within two weeks, my teeth were whiter and my smile much brighter! Thank you to Dan and the team for restoring my smile and confidence.
Well what can I say, March Dental Practise is excellent. Hayley and Jodie were brilliant today. Always very pleasant and reassuring and provide a good level of service. The receptionist staff are very helpful and provide a good first impression.
