Tooth extraction, also called dental extraction or tooth removal, involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jaw.
Depending on the condition and position of the tooth, extraction may be:
Simple tooth extraction
Surgical tooth extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction
Extraction of a severely broken tooth
Extraction of a severely decayed tooth
Extraction of a tooth that cannot be predictably restored
The technique depends on the individual tooth and clinical findings.
The chosen technique depends on the condition, structural integrity, and position of the tooth in the jaw.
Simple Extraction
Surgical Extraction
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Routine procedure for visible teeth that can be gently loosened and extracted under local anesthesia.
Careful surgical procedure for teeth broken at the gum line or severely impacted.
Specialized removal of third molars that create overcrowding, infection, or alignment issues.




When Is Extraction Required?
Severe Decay & Tooth Fractures
When extensive tooth decay or deep structural fractures leave insufficient tooth structure for predictable restoration, safe extraction prevents ongoing pain and recurring infection.
Advanced Mobility & Wisdom Teeth
Advanced loss of supporting bone structure or problematic wisdom tooth placement can necessitate planned removal to protect adjacent teeth and overall oral health.
Tooth Extraction or Root Canal?
Root canal treatment is considered whenever the natural tooth can be predictably restored and saved. Preserving your natural tooth is always our primary clinical goal whenever suitable.
Extraction is reserved for cases where a tooth is too severely damaged, fractured, or decayed for long-term restoration. Comprehensive examination ensures the safest decision for your smile.
