Extractions and Sedation

We carry out most extractions at the practice including many surgical cases. Our Dentist Vladimir has specialist training in oral surgery and can remove many wisdom teeth and roots as well as more difficult extractions. He particularly uses a procedure called coronectomy whereby the top of the wisdom tooth is removed leaving the roots in place. This means there is less risk of damage to the nerve beneath and patients recovery is shorter. 

Occasionally you may need to be referred to York District Hospital or a specialist practice if the treatment is too complex.

If patients need particularly stressful treatments doing , such as a wisdom tooth extracting, we work with other practices and the district hospital to allow patients to have such treatments either done under Intravenous Sedation or General anaesthetic.
