Surgical extractions

Unlike their simpler counterparts, surgical extractions involve more intricate techniques to access and remove teeth that are

Impacted: Trapped completely or partially within the jawbone, often at awkward angles.

Wisdom teeth: Notoriously notorious for their tricky location at the back of the mouth.

Severely broken or infected: Requiring careful removal of fragments or infected tissue.

Surrounded by dense bone or gum tissue: Demanding precision to minimize surrounding damage.

While simple extractions are ideal for readily accessible teeth, surgical extractions offer specific advantages for more complex situations

Precise Control

Specialized instruments and techniques allow for targeted removal, minimizing damage to surrounding teeth and tissues.

Safe Removal

Advanced procedures address intricate challenges like impacted teeth or deep roots, ensuring complete and safe extraction.

Minimized Discomfort

General anesthesia or strong local anesthetics ensure minimal pain during the procedure.

Long-Term Benefits

Removing problematic teeth prevents future complications like pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.

Conditions that may necessitate surgical extractions include

Horizontally impacted wisdom teeth

Lying sideways within the jawbone, potentially pushing against and damaging other teeth.

Angled impacted wisdom teeth

Growing at an angle towards other teeth or nerves, increasing the risk of complications.

Severely broken down teeth

Where remaining fragments are deeply embedded in the jawbone.

Cysts or tumors around teeth

Requiring careful removal of both the tooth and surrounding tissue.
