When standard extraction isn’t enough, surgical Removal provides better control and safety.
Sometimes, a tooth cannot be removed using normal extraction methods especially when it is broken below the gum, stuck in the bone, or has strong and complex roots. These situations may include:
Surgical extraction allows the dentist to carefully access and remove the tooth in a more controlled way.
A small opening is created to clearly access the tooth, allowing for a more controlled procedure.
Only a small amount of surrounding bone is adjusted when necessary to ensure safe removal.
The tooth may be divided into smaller parts to reduce pressure and make the extraction smoother and safer.
