Everything About Surgical Tooth Extraction
Find all the detailed information you need about the treatment in this section.
What is Surgical Tooth Extraction?
Surgical tooth extraction is the removal of teeth that cannot be removed with simple forceps through bone and soft tissue intervention. Impacted wisdom teeth, broken tooth roots, ankylosed teeth, and teeth with apical lesions require surgical extraction.
Modern surgical techniques with piezoelectric devices and minimally invasive approaches provide less trauma, faster healing, and fewer complications. Experienced surgeons perform safe extractions while protecting anatomical structures such as nerves and sinuses.
Treatment Stages
Radiological Evaluation
Tooth position and adjacent structures are analyzed with panoramic X-ray and 3D tomography if necessary.
Surgical Planning
Incision design, amount of bone removal, and need for tooth sectioning are determined.
Surgical Access
Gum is incised and flap is raised. Bone is drilled if necessary.
Tooth Removal
Tooth is removed whole or sectioned. Root fragments are cleaned.
Wound Closure
Socket is cleaned, grafted if necessary and flap is sutured.
Surgical Tooth Extraction Types
Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Most common surgical extraction indication. Can be mesially, distally, horizontally, or vertically impacted.
Broken Root Removal
Surgical removal of root fragments broken during extraction or previously fractured.
Ankylosed Tooth Extraction
Removal of teeth fused to bone by bone removal. Common in primary teeth.
Odontectomy
Removal of teeth completely impacted in bone. Usually done for orthodontic reasons.
How Is It Done?
Surgical tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia in sterile conditions. Procedure takes 20-60 minutes.
