Infected Tooth? Get Relief Today
Tooth abscess or chronic infection? We remove the source of pain and replace with a healthy, permanent implant.
✓ Same-Day Emergency Care · ✓ Sedation Available · ✓ Safe Infection Removal
An abscessed tooth is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. It can occur at different regions of the tooth, but commonly affects the tip of the root (periapical abscess).
Unlike other parts of the body, teeth cannot "heal" themselves once the internal nerve tissue is dead and infected. Antibiotics can temporarily suppress the symptoms, but they cannot cure the infection. As long as the infected tooth remains, the bacteria will continue to destroy the surrounding jawbone and enter your bloodstream.
At Dental Implants London, we prioritize your systemic health. Our protocol involves the safe extraction of the infected tooth, thorough debridement (cleaning) of the infection site, and planning for a permanent implant solution.
The Hidden Risks
Ignoring an infected tooth can lead to severe complications beyond just tooth loss.
Bone Destruction
The acidic byproduct of the infection dissolves jawbone, creating a cyst or large defect that makes future implant placement more difficult.
Systemic Health
Oral bacteria from abscesses have been linked to heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic inflammatory conditions.
Acute Flare-Ups
A chronic, painless infection can suddenly become acute, causing massive swelling, fever, and severe pain requiring emergency care.
Damage to Neighbors
The infection spreads laterally, often killing the nerves of healthy adjacent teeth and destabilizing them.

Extraction & Regeneration
Removing the tooth is only the first step. Our goal is to prepare the site for a future tooth (implant) immediately.
Deep Cleaning (Debridement)
We meticulously scrape away all infected tissue and cysts from the jawbone to ensure a sterile environment.
Ozone / Laser Disinfection
We often use advanced sterilization techniques to kill any remaining bacteria in the porous bone.
Immediate or Delayed Implant?
If the infection is acute, we may graft the site and wait 3 months for healing. If the infection is contained, we can often place an Immediate Implant on the same day.
Do Not Delay Treatment
An infection will not go away on its own. It will only spread. Contact us for a safe, definitive solution.
