Extractions

Extraction is the process of removing a single or multiple damaged teeth. Extractions become necessary in case of problematic wisdom teeth or when a tooth has decayed and is beyond repaired or even as a preparatory measure for an elaborate orthodontic procedure. Extraction is necessary to prevent the infection from spreading to other teeth and causing additional damage.

The extraction is carried out either through a surgical procedure or done in a simple manner using tooth holder, forceps and local anaesthesia. The choice of methods depends on your dental health and severity of problem. Sometimes it might also become necessary to break a tooth into several fragments to make the process of extraction easier and less painful. Once a tooth has been extracted, the gap can be easily refilled by an implant.
