Surgical Tooth Extraction

Surgical tooth extraction is a dental procedure performed for teeth that cannot be easily accessed, such as impacted wisdom teeth or broken teeth. It involves making an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and may require sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces for removal. This procedure is often done under local anesthesia with the option for sedation to ensure patient comfort. Following the extraction, the dentist may stitch the gum tissue back together and provide post-operative care instructions for optimal healing.
