Extraction

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove teeth that are damaged beyond repair, severely decayed, or causing overcrowding. At Dr. Ravi Dental Clinic, we ensure that every extraction is done with the utmost care, precision, and patient comfort using advanced techniques and anesthesia to minimize pain and recovery time.

Whether it’s a simple extraction of a loose or decayed tooth or a surgical extraction for impacted wisdom teeth, our skilled dental professionals are equipped to handle all types of extractions safely. Extractions are sometimes necessary to preserve overall oral health, prevent infection, or prepare for orthodontic treatment.

Common Types of Tooth Extractions:

Simple Extraction: Removal of a visible tooth that is loose or damaged—performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
Surgical Extraction: Involves making a small incision to remove teeth that are broken or have not fully erupted.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction: Removal of third molars that are impacted, misaligned, or causing pain and infection.
Impacted Tooth Extraction: For teeth trapped under the gums or bone, often requiring minor surgery.
Orthodontic Extraction: Teeth are removed to relieve overcrowding and support proper alignment during orthodontic treatment.

How long does it take to recover from an extraction?

Recovery usually takes 3–7 days, depending on the complexity of the extraction and your overall health.

Do I need to replace the extracted tooth?

In many cases, yes—especially if it affects chewing or aesthetics. We offer solutions like implants, bridges, or dentures.

Soft foods are recommended for the first few days. Avoid hard, hot, or spicy foods until healing is complete.
