Surgical Tooth Extraction

WHY SURGICAL TOOTH EXTRACTION?

Careful Removal of Difficult Teeth

Some teeth cannot be removed with a simple extraction, for example teeth that are broken at the gum line, impacted or have curved roots. Surgical extraction uses a small, precise opening to remove them safely with minimal trauma.

THE PROCESS

What to Expect

Surgical extractions are planned carefully with X-rays, and carried out under local anaesthesia so you stay comfortable.

1

Examination & X-ray

We study the tooth and the surrounding bone on X-rays to plan the safest approach.

2

Numbing

The area is fully numbed with local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain.

3

Careful Removal

A small opening is made in the gum, and the tooth is removed, sometimes in sections.

4

Stitches & Aftercare

The area is cleaned, stitched if needed, and you receive clear healing instructions.

Most surgical extractions take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the tooth.

Most people feel better in three to five days, with the gum healing over one to two weeks.
