What Happens at Your Appointment
Tooth Extraction — Costs & What To Expect
What affects the price
Three things: how the tooth is positioned, how much of it remains above the gum, and the shape of its roots. A fully erupted tooth with straightforward roots sits at the 'from £156' end. Teeth broken at the gumline, curved or fused roots, and some wisdom teeth take longer and involve more careful surgical technique, which is reflected in the quote.
What the appointment involves
We numb the area thoroughly with local anaesthetic — you feel pressure, not pain. Most routine extractions take a matter of minutes once you're numb. You leave with written aftercare instructions and, where relevant, a plan for replacing the tooth.
Aftercare that actually matters
The first 24 hours protect the blood clot that starts healing: no rinsing, no smoking, no alcohol, no vigorous exercise, and chew on the other side. From day two, gentle warm salt-water rinses after meals. Increasing pain three to five days after extraction can be dry socket — call us if that happens and we'll see you promptly.
Replacing the tooth
Not every extracted tooth needs replacing, but gaps in visible or load-bearing positions usually benefit from it. Options at Tower Dental include bridges from £568, dentures from £840, and implants from £2,800 including the crown — our implant clinician works exclusively with the Nobel Biocare system. We'll talk through what genuinely suits your mouth, including the option of doing nothing.
Spreading the cost
0% finance is available over 6 or 10 months on treatment plans, and Dental Plan members (£19.60/month) save 15% on all fees.

How much is a tooth extraction in Blackpool?
From £156 at Tower Dental on our published fee list. Complex or surgical extractions cost more — the exact figure is confirmed in writing after examination and X-rays.
Does tooth extraction hurt?
The injection stings briefly; the extraction itself should be painless — you feel pushing and pressure only. Tell us at any point if you feel more than that and we'll top up the anaesthetic.
