Surgical extraction is a dental procedure performed to remove teeth that are impacted, severely decayed, or broken below the gum line. Unlike simple extractions, this procedure involves making a small incision in the gum to access and carefully remove the tooth, sometimes in sections, to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues. It is commonly required for impacted wisdom teeth, severely damaged teeth, or orthodontic treatments.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure patient comfort. After extraction, stitches may be placed to promote healing, and post-operative care instructions are provided to prevent infection and aid recovery. Surgical extractions help relieve pain, prevent further oral health complications, and restore overall dental well-being. With local anesthesia and advanced techniques, it ensures a safe, painless, and efficient tooth removal process, promoting quick healing and long-term oral health.
