Common Reasons for Tooth Extractions
- Severe decay or infection
- Advanced gum disease
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Cracked or fractured teeth beyond repair
- Orthodontic preparation (to create space)
- Overcrowding or poorly positioned teeth
Types of Extractions
- Simple Extraction
- For visible, easily accessible teeth
- Typically quick and performed with local anesthesia
- Surgical Extraction
- Required for broken teeth, impacted teeth, or teeth below the gumline
- May involve a small incision or sectioning of the tooth for easier removal
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth often cause pain, crowding, or infection as they try to emerge. Especially if they are impacted (trapped under the gums or bone). Surgical extraction is often recommended in late teens or early 20s to prevent future issues.
What to Expect
- Performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for comfort
- Minimal discomfort with modern techniques
- Detailed aftercare instructions ensure smooth healing
- Most patients recover quickly with minimal downtime
