Tooth Extraction
Expert tooth extraction treatment at Dr. Ravi's Dental and Orofacial Pain Clinic
While we always aim to save natural teeth, sometimes extraction is the best option for your overall oral health. Our extraction procedures are performed with precision, gentle technique, and your comfort as the top priority.
When Extraction Is Necessary
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored
- Advanced periodontal disease with bone loss
- Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Fractured teeth below the gum line
- Preparation for dentures or implants
Types of Extractions
Simple Extraction: For visible teeth that can be removed with elevators and forceps under local anesthesia.
Surgical Extraction: For impacted wisdom teeth, broken teeth, or teeth with curved roots. This may involve sectioning the tooth and minor bone removal.
Aftercare & Recovery
We provide detailed post-extraction instructions including gauze pressure, cold compresses, soft diet recommendations, and medication for pain management. Most patients recover fully within 3-7 days.
