A surgical tooth extraction is required when a tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or otherwise difficult to remove using standard techniques. This procedure is commonly performed for impacted wisdom teeth or teeth with complex root structures. Prior to surgery, the dental or oral surgery team conducts a thorough evaluation, including imaging, to assess tooth position and surrounding anatomy. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia depending on complexity and patient needs. During the extraction, the gum tissue may be gently opened, and small amounts of bone may be removed to safely access the tooth. The area is then carefully cleaned and closed to support proper healing. Post-operative recovery includes temporary swelling and discomfort, which is managed with prescribed care instructions. Surgical tooth extraction is a safe and effective procedure that helps prevent infection, pain, and damage to nearby teeth.
