How Does It work
Tooth extraction begins with a thorough dental examination and may involve taking X-rays to assess the tooth and its surrounding structures. The dentist or oral surgeon will administer local anesthesia to numb the area and may provide additional sedation options for patient comfort. Using specialized instruments, the tooth is carefully loosened from the socket and gently removed. In some cases, stitches may be placed to aid in the healing process.
Treatments
- Simple Extraction: Removal of a tooth that is fully erupted and easily accessible
- Surgical Extraction: Removal of a tooth that is impacted, partially erupted, or requires a more complex procedure
- Wisdom Tooth Extraction: Removal of the third molars (wisdom teeth) to prevent potential problems or alleviate existing issues
- Extraction of Decayed or Infected Teeth: Removal of teeth with severe decay, infection, or damage that cannot be restored
- Orthodontic Extraction: Removal of teeth to create space for orthodontic treatment or correct dental misalignment
Treatment steps
- Dental examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth and surrounding structures
- Administration of local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the procedure
- Use of specialized instruments to gently loosen and remove the tooth from its socket

Session: A session of Tooth Extraction refers to a single visit or appointment dedicated to the removal of one or more teeth.
Duration: 30 minutes to an hour or longer.
Painful or Painless: Tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the procedure itself is generally painless. However, patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling during the recovery period, which can be managed with pain medication and following post-operative care instructions.
