There are times when a tooth becomes too damaged, decayed, or problematic to be saved with treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals. In such cases, tooth extraction may be necessary to protect oral health and prevent complications. At Ratna Prabha Dental Clinic, we provide safe and painless tooth removal using modern techniques and anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort. Whether you need a simple extraction or a surgical extraction for impacted teeth, our expert dental team ensures a stress-free experience with minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery.
Tooth extraction is required for severe decay, gum disease, infection, overcrowding, impacted wisdom teeth, or trauma. In some cases, orthodontic treatments like braces may require removing teeth for proper alignment. Before performing an extraction, our dentists conduct a thorough examination using digital X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone structure. Based on the evaluation, we determine whether a simple or surgical extraction is needed.
A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is fully visible and accessible. The area is numbed with local anesthesia, and the dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. A surgical extraction is required when a tooth is impacted (stuck beneath the gum) or broken at the gum line. This is common for wisdom teeth, which may not have enough space to erupt properly. Surgical extractions involve a small incision in the gum and, in some cases, dividing the tooth for easier removal. Sedation options, including IV sedation or general anesthesia, are available for patients who experience anxiety or require complex extractions.
Post-extraction care is essential for a smooth recovery. Patients should avoid smoking, using straws, or eating hard foods for the first 24 hours to prevent dry sockets, a painful condition where the blood clot dislodges. Mild swelling and discomfort are normal but can be managed with pain relievers, ice packs, and soft foods. Most patients recover within a few days, with full healing taking one to two weeks.
If a missing tooth affects function or appearance, we offer dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile. At Ratna Prabha Dental Clinic, we ensure a pain-free, efficient experience using state-of-the-art technology. If you have severe tooth pain or wisdom tooth discomfort, contact us today to discuss extraction options and maintain optimal oral health.
