Surgical Tooth Extraction

Surgical tooth extraction is a specialised procedure required when a tooth cannot be removed with a simple extraction due to its position, damage, or impaction. This method is commonly used for wisdom teeth, severely decayed teeth, broken roots, or teeth trapped beneath the gumline.

The procedure involves making a small incision in the gum, carefully removing the tooth in sections if necessary, and preserving as much surrounding bone as possible. In some cases, bone grafting may be performed to maintain jaw structure, especially if a dental implant is planned.

Surgical extractions help prevent infection, alleviate pain, and protect surrounding teeth, ensuring a smooth recovery and long-term oral health.
