At GoBest Dentist, we try our best to save your teeth by any possible means we can. But there are some conditions which inadvertently requires your tooth to be removed.
These conditions are as follows:

  • Excessively decayed teeth which cannot be saved by Root canal treatments.

  • Before orthodontic treatment in case of severe crowding.
  • Periodontally compromised/Mobile teeth.
  • Impacted wisdom teeth.

In addition to the above mentioned causes, a person who has to undergo a chemotherapy or an organ transplant, may require removal of teeth that can cause problem. This is because we cannot perform any extraction till a minimum of 6 months after a chemotherapy.

TYPES

What are the types of tooth extraction

The type of method used for tooth extraction depends on the amount of grip available for a dentist to hold and remove the tooth.

SIMPLE EXTRACTION
If your tooth is completely visible and easily accessible, we might choose a simple extraction procedure for you. We will give local anesthesia to numb the concerned area so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. You might feel a little pressure and that is totally normal.

In case of simple extraction, we may require simple instruments like elevators and forceps. Elevators are used to gently rock the tooth in order to make it mobile in the socket. This will ensure an easy removal. Forceps are then used to catch the tooth and gently remove them entirely from your mouth.
In most cases, simple extraction does not require sutures but this is not a thumb rule. Also in some cases the teeth may break into small pieces during the process of removal. In such a case, a simple tooth extraction may turn into a surgical one.

SURGICAL EXTRACTION
There are some tooth which are a little complicated in terms of removal. Such teeth requires certain additional steps then the one mentioned in simple extraction procedure.
When the tooth is not easily accessible, we may require to make a small incision into your gum tissue before applying elevators or forceps to them. If the bone is deeply embedded into the bone, we may need to trim a little bone to reach to the tooth and cut your tooth into pieces to ensure complete removal.

  • The following conditions may require a surgical extraction:

  • Broken tooth
    Sometimes only a small portion of your tooth is visible in the oral cavity. This might be difficult for us to grasp the fragment with the instrument and remove it.

  • Brittle tooth
    Dental caries can weaken the tooth structure and make it brittle. Such teeth might seem to be intact but they tend to break when we try to hold them with the instrument. This might also happen in case of a traumatized tooth which might contain invisible fractures.

  • Extremely curved tooth root
    Some teeth may have excessive curvatures in the root portion. Trying to forcefully remove them without making proper excess may lead to fracture of jaw bone.

  • Impacted tooth
    Sometimes a tooth may be so deeply embedded under the soft tissue or bone that it is impossible for it to get erupted up to its normal occlusal level.

  • All of the above mentioned cases are easily removed by adding small steps to a simple extraction procedure.
