Whether you need a simple extraction for a loose tooth or a surgical extraction for an impacted wisdom tooth, our experienced Dr. Sandeep Prakash provides precise, minimally invasive care that promotes faster healing and reduces post-operative discomfort.

Extraction Procedure

Types of Tooth Extractions

Simple Extraction

For teeth that are decayed, loose, fully erupted and visible above the gum line. Performed with forceps and elevators under local anesthesia.

Surgical Extraction

For teeth that are broken, impacted, or not fully erupted. Requires gum tissue incision and sometimes bone removal.

Wisdom Tooth /3rd Molar Extraction

Specialized extraction for third molars that may be impacted or causing crowding. Often requires surgical approach.

Impacted Tooth Extraction

Complex procedure for teeth trapped in jawbone or gum tissue, requiring surgical access and bone removal.

When is Tooth Extraction Needed?

Severe Tooth Decay

When decay has destroyed too much tooth structure for restoration with fillings or crowns.

Advanced Gum Disease

When periodontal disease has destroyed supporting bone and tissue, making the tooth unstable.

Tooth Fracture

When teeth are cracked or broken beyond repair due to trauma or decay.

Crowding Issues

When there's not enough space for proper tooth alignment, requiring removal for orthodontic treatment.

The Extraction Process

Pre-Extraction Assessment

Comprehensive examination and X-ray imaging to plan the extraction approach and assess difficulty.

Tooth Loosening

Gentle use of elevators to separate tooth from surrounding ligaments and create space for removal.

Tooth Removal

Careful extraction using forceps or surgical techniques, ensuring minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.

Site Preparation

Cleaning the socket, placing gauze if needed, and providing post-operative instructions for optimal healing.

Extraction Procedure

Post-Extraction Care Instructions

Bleeding Control

Bite firmly on gauze for 30-45 minutes. Change gauze if bleeding continues. Avoid spitting or vigorous rinsing.

Swelling Management

Apply ice packs to the face for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for the first 24 hours.

Diet Guidelines

Soft foods for 24-48 hours. Avoid hot liquids, straws, and chewing on the extraction site.

Healing Timeline

Frequently Asked Questions

With modern anesthesia techniques, you should feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Simple extractions typically take 20-40 minutes. Surgical extractions may take 45-90 minutes depending on complexity and tooth position.
Most patients can return to light work the next day. If your job involves strenuous activity, you may need 2-3 days off for proper healing.
Surgical extractions often require stitches. We use dissolvable sutures that disappear on their own in 7-10 days, eliminating the need for removal.
