Surgical Tooth Extraction

Surgical Tooth Extraction Dental in Sector 11 Dwarka, Delhi for Safe Removal of Difficult, Impacted or Severely Damaged Teeth

Surgical Tooth Extraction is a dental procedure used to remove a tooth that cannot be removed easily with a routine extraction. At Tirupati Dental – Implants & Surgical Center in Sector 11, Dwarka, Delhi, Surgical Tooth Extraction is performed when a tooth is impacted, severely damaged, broken below the gum line, badly decayed, or positioned in a way that makes normal tooth removal difficult.

A Surgical Tooth Extraction may be recommended for an impacted wisdom tooth, a tooth with complicated roots, a badly broken tooth, or a tooth that has become difficult to access because of its position. Before Surgical Tooth Extraction, the dentist carefully examines the tooth and surrounding gums and may recommend dental X-rays to understand the tooth position, root shape and surrounding bone.

During Surgical Tooth Extraction, the area is numbed with local anesthesia so the procedure can be performed comfortably. Depending on the tooth, the dentist may gently open the gum, remove a small amount of surrounding bone, or divide the tooth into smaller sections before removing it. The area is then cleaned and, when required, closed with suitable stitches.

Timely Surgical Tooth Extraction can help prevent continuing pain, infection, swelling and damage to neighboring teeth. However, removing a tooth is not always the first option. Where possible, Root Canal Treatment may be considered to preserve a natural tooth. If extraction is necessary, the missing tooth can later be replaced with Dental Implants, Fixed Dentures or Complete Dentures, depending on the patient's needs.

Patients may also require Periodontal Flap Surgeries & Bone Grafting when gum or bone conditions are involved. For patients needing several treatments, Surgical Tooth Extraction may also form part of a planned Full Mouth Rehabilitation.

At Tirupati Dental - Implants & Surgical Center, the treatment is planned according to the patient's dental condition, comfort and long-term oral health.
