Symptoms to Watch Out For
Tooth pain can be difficult to ignore, and sometimes it may feel like removing the tooth is the only way to get relief. While extraction is sometimes necessary, there may be other options that could save the tooth while also easing your discomfort.
- Severe tooth pain
- Pain that increases with pressure or chewing
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Swelling in the gums around the tooth
- Signs of gum disease, such as bleeding, discolouration, or unpleasant odour

The Treatment Plan
There are several reasons a tooth might need to be removed. These include baby teeth that do not fall out on their own, removal for orthodontic reasons, or teeth that are painful or infected.
Dental extractions are usually completed in a single visit. Here is how we approach the procedure:
Looking for Solutions
We will begin by examining your mouth and discussing your options. Even if you think extraction is the only solution, we may be able to treat the tooth and preserve it. Our goal is always to relieve your pain while protecting your long term dental health.
The Removal Process
The area around the tooth will be numbed using a local anesthetic. Sedation may be offered if necessary. We use techniques designed to gently and efficiently remove the tooth while helping you stay as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Feeling Better
You will receive aftercare instructions to help your mouth heal properly. We will explain what to expect, how to care for the area, and what to do if you experience any complications. We are also happy to schedule a follow up appointment to check on your progress and address any concerns.
Cost of a Dental Extraction in London
The cost of tooth removal depends on several factors. With insurance, the typical out of pocket cost ranges from $100 to $200 or more. Without insurance, the average cost is usually between $200 and $600 per tooth.
Since every case is different, we cannot provide an exact quote over the phone. Your treatment needs must be evaluated through an in person exam. There are two main types of extractions, which may help you better understand the range in pricing:
Simple Tooth Extraction
This is performed when the tooth is fully visible and easy to access. It is usually done with local anesthesia and has a lower cost due to the simplicity of the procedure.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
This more advanced procedure is used when a tooth is broken off at the gum line or has not fully erupted. It requires careful planning and additional skill, which is reflected in the higher cost.
We can provide a written estimate for your insurance provider so you can find out your out of pocket expenses ahead of time.
