When extraction is needed
Extraction is always a last resort — your dentist tries to save your tooth first. But sometimes a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to restore. Impacted wisdom teeth and teeth loosened by advanced gum disease may also need removing.
Your extraction is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure but not pain. Simple extractions take 10–20 minutes; a surgical extraction takes longer and may involve a small incision.
After extraction
Written aftercare instructions provided. Mild soreness for 2–3 days managed with standard painkillers. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Replacement options (implant, bridge, denture) discussed at the same appointment.
Cost and finance
Written quote at consultation. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Why the next step matters: once a tooth is gone, the teeth either side gradually drift and the bone that held it shrinks — changes that can make replacing it later more complex. Planning your replacement now keeps your options simpler and wider.
Your next step, in three stages
Get seen quickly — same-day appointments are often available if you're in pain.
Your tooth is removed gently under local anaesthetic, and your replacement options and written price are explained the same day.
When you're ready, an implant, bridge or denture fills the gap and protects the teeth around it.
Common questions
No. Local anaesthetic ensures you feel pressure only.
In most cases, yes. A gap allows adjacent teeth to drift.
2–3 days of mild soreness. Most return to work next day.
Gentle care when
you need it most

What Patients Say About Station House Dental Care
So glad I moved dentists. Sarah and the team really go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable, especially if previously you hated going to the dentist. Pleased to say that I now no longer hate going.
Not only is Sarah professional in her practice, her approach towards patients is warm, welcoming and most of all reassuring. My whole family come to see Sarah and I have never been happier to see a dentist.
Very impressed with the whole experience — friendly team that don't fill your head with babble and listen to your needs too. I am confident with trusting them for all my dental work.

Station House Dental Care — Why We Are Different
Station House Dental Care at Fernlea Avenue BB18 5DW is not a typical dental practice. We are a high-quality private dental practice that happens to be located in Barnoldswick — combining the convenience and accessibility of a local practice with the clinical depth, qualifications and quality of materials that most patients would expect to find only at a hospital or specialist referral centre. Our principal dentist Dr Sarah Metias holds the Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties from the Royal College of Surgeons London (MJDF RCS, GDC 114267). Our experienced implant dentist Dr Samarth Shetty holds the MFDS from the Royal College of Surgeons (MFDS RCS, GDC 284615) — an advanced postgraduate dental qualification. Our associate Dr Junaid Khalil holds a BDS (London) with Merit and has aesthetic and restorative dentistry training.
This concentration of Royal College-level qualification and postgraduate expertise within a single Barnoldswick dental practice is extraordinary — and it directly benefits every patient who attends Station House Dental Care, whether they are coming for a routine examination, composite bonding, dental implants or emergency treatment. The clinical decisions made at Station House Dental Care are informed by the deepest available evidence base. Materials are chosen on quality and clinical suitability for each situation. The time allocated to each patient is determined by what the case requires, not by the constraints of an NHS appointment schedule.
Patient-First Philosophy at Station House Dental Care
The philosophy at Station House Dental Care is simple: every clinical decision is made in the patient's best long-term interest, not in the interest of generating the highest possible revenue per appointment. This means we tell patients honestly when treatment is not needed. We tell them when a less expensive option will achieve the same outcome as a more expensive one. We tell them when their case falls outside the scope of what we can most appropriately treat in-house and refer them to the right specialist. We tell them what the realistic outcomes of treatment are, including the limitations and the need for ongoing maintenance, rather than overselling results.
This honesty is the foundation of the trust our patients place in us. The 366 Google reviews that give Station House Dental Care its 4.9-star rating consistently mention the team's honesty, the lack of pressure, the quality of the clinical explanations and the genuine care shown throughout the patient journey. Patients from across Barnoldswick, the Ribble Valley and Lancashire continue to return to Station House Dental Care and to refer their family and friends — not because of marketing or special offers, but because the clinical and human experience at Station House Dental Care is genuinely exceptional.
