Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure to remove a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, or poses a risk to oral health. This treatment is often necessary when a tooth cannot be saved through other means, such as a filling or root canal therapy.

At Urban Smile Dental Clinic, our skilled team, led by Dr. Sweety Dighade, ensures a comfortable and stress-free experience during tooth extractions. Whether a simple removal or a more complex surgical extraction, we prioritize your safety, minimize discomfort, and provide aftercare guidance to support a smooth recovery. 

Types of Tooth Extraction

Simple Tooth Extraction

  • Performed on teeth that are fully visible and easily accessible in the mouth
  •  tools like elevators and forceps to loosen and remove the tooth..

Surgical Tooth Extraction

  • Performed on teeth that are not  visible or submerged in jawbone
  • It involves making an incision in the gum and possibly removing the surrounding bone

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

  • Wisdom teeth may grow at odd angles, press against neighbouring teeth, or remain trapped under the gum 
  • Surgical extraction  such as bone removal is needed
