Tooth Extractions

Removal of damaged or decayed teeth to protect oral health and comfort.

Tooth Extraction – Safe Removal for a Healthier Smile

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure performed to remove a tooth that is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or causing overcrowding. While dentists always aim to preserve natural teeth, extractions become necessary when a tooth poses a risk to your oral health or cannot be restored through fillings or root canal treatment.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort. In cases of wisdom tooth impaction or complex conditions, surgical extraction may be required.

What is Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. It is usually done when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing issues like crowding or impaction (as with wisdom teeth).
Types of Tooth Extractions
  • Simple Extraction:
  • Surgical Extraction
When is Tooth Extraction Needed?

Tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth poses a risk to your overall oral health or cannot be restored through other treatments.

  • Severe Tooth Decay or Infection – When decay reaches deep into the tooth and can't be treated with a filling or root canal.
  • Advanced Gum Disease – When periodontal disease loosens the supporting structures of the tooth.
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth – When wisdom teeth are stuck, misaligned, or cause pain and infection.
  • Broken or Fractured Teeth – If a tooth is broken beyond repair, especially below the gum line.
  • Overcrowding for Braces – To make space during orthodontic treatment.
  • Failed Dental Treatments – When previous procedures like root canals or crowns are unsuccessful.
