Preparation for Future Treatments
Extractions often pave the way for restorations like implants, bridges, or orthodontic alignment.
How Tooth Extraction Works
Examination & X-Ray
Your dentist evaluates the tooth and surrounding structures to plan the safest extraction approach.
Local Anesthesia
The area around the tooth is numbed completely to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Tooth Loosening & Removal
Using specialized instruments, the dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth with minimal force.
Surgical Extraction (If Needed)
For impacted or broken teeth, a minor surgical approach may be used — always under complete anesthesia.
Cleaning & Suturing
The socket is cleaned to prevent infection, and stitches may be placed if necessary.
Post-Extraction Instructions
You’ll receive detailed aftercare guidance to promote healing and prevent complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tooth extraction painful?
No. Local anesthesia ensures a completely pain-free experience — you’ll only feel mild pressure during removal.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover fully within 3–5 days, depending on the type of extraction.
Will I have swelling after extraction?
Mild swelling is normal and can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed pain relief.
Can I eat normally after extraction?
Start with soft foods for 1-2 days. Avoid hard, hot, or spicy foods until healing improves.
Do I need to replace an extracted tooth?
Yes, replacing it with an implant, bridge, or denture helps prevent bone loss and shifting of nearby teeth.
Is wisdom tooth extraction necessary for everyone?
No. Only if the wisdom tooth causes pain, infection, or crowding — your dentist will advise after an X-ray.
