Surgical Tooth Extraction
A safe and effective solution for problematic teeth.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
Unlike simple tooth extraction, which is performed when the tooth is visible and free to be removed, surgical extraction is used when the tooth cannot be simply removed with normal force. These cases include:
Broken or deeply damaged teeth
Impacted teeth (blocked under tissue)
Wisdom teeth that do not have enough space to emerge
Infections or damage to surrounding bone
Importance of the specialist:
These interventions are recommended to be performed only by oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists, as they have the knowledge, experience, and proper instruments to guarantee a safe procedure and optimal result.
How the procedure is performed
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases conscious sedation may be used for maximum comfort.
The surgeon makes a light incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and surrounding bone.
The tooth is carefully removed using surgical techniques to minimize damage to soft tissues.
If necessary, the area is sutured to promote healing.
Benefits compared to simple extraction
- Enables removal of complicated or blocked teeth that cannot be simply removed
- Reduces risk of damage to adjacent teeth or bone
- Allows placement of implants or other restorative treatments in the future
- Controlled procedure, with rapid recovery and stable result
After the procedure
Pain and swelling are normal and treated with anti-inflammatory medications or analgesics
Instructions for diet, oral hygiene, and activity after surgery
Recovery usually lasts 2–5 days, depending on the complexity of the case
