Surgical Tooth Extraction
When saving the tooth isn’t possible, we ensure a safe and gentle removal.
Sometimes, a tooth cannot be saved. It may be badly decayed, broken, or stuck under the gums. In such cases, surgical tooth extraction is the best option to protect your oral health. At Mumbai Diagnostic Centre, we make this procedure smooth, painless, and comfortable.
What is Surgical Tooth Extraction?
Surgical tooth extraction is a minor oral surgery used to remove teeth that cannot be taken out easily—such as impacted teeth, broken teeth, or teeth with unusual roots. It may involve making a small cut in the gums or removing bone around the tooth.
Our expert oral surgeons handle every case with precision and care, ensuring a comfortable experience and quick healing.
When is Surgical Extraction Needed?
- The tooth is broken at or below the gumline
- The tooth has not erupted (common with wisdom teeth)
- The roots are curved or deep in the bone
- There’s severe infection or gum disease
- The tooth is stuck or crowded due to lack of space
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often the most common reason for surgical extraction. These teeth can:
- Erupt partially or not at all
- Push other teeth and cause pain
- Get infected due to poor cleaning access
Our surgeons are highly experienced in safe and smooth removal of wisdom teeth under local anesthesia. The entire procedure is usually done in a single visit.
How the Procedure Works
Here’s what you can expect:
- Examination & X-ray – We assess the position of the tooth and surrounding bone
- Anaesthesia – Local anesthesia is used to numb the area completely
- Tooth Removal – The dentist may lift the tooth out or break it into parts for easy removal
- Cleaning the Site – The empty socket is cleaned and stitched, if needed
- Recovery Advice – You’ll get clear aftercare instructions for faster healing
Aftercare & Recovery
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling
- Avoid hot drinks, spicy food, and smoking for a few days
- Eat soft foods and avoid the treated area while brushing
- Follow all medication and instructions carefully
- If you feel unusual pain, swelling, or bleeding, contact us right away.
Is It Painful?
No. With modern techniques and proper anesthesia, surgical extractions are painless. You may feel slight pressure, but no pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort afterwards is manageable with medicines.
