Step-by-Step Surgical Extraction Process

1. X-Ray Evaluation

Digital X-rays determine root curvature, bone density, and proximity to nerve channels.

2. Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia completely numbs the target tooth, bone socket, and surrounding gum tissue.

3. Atraumatic Luxation

Specialized micro-elevators gently expand the socket and ease the tooth out without bone trauma.

4. Hemostasis & Suturing

Socket is disinfected, gauze compressed, and resorbable sutures placed if surgical access was required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Tooth Extraction FAQs

Expert guidance regarding post-op recovery, wisdom teeth, and dry socket prevention.

Is tooth extraction painful?

No! Modern local anesthesia completely numbs the tooth and surrounding gums. You will feel pressure during removal, but zero sharp pain.

How long does a wisdom tooth extraction take to heal?

Initial soft tissue socket healing occurs within 7 to 10 days. Complete bone healing takes 6 to 8 weeks.

What food can I eat after a tooth extraction?

Eat soft, cool foods for the first 24-48 hours: yogurt, smoothies (no straws), ice cream, khichdi, and lukewarm soups.

Why should I avoid using a drinking straw after extraction?

Suction from drinking straws can dislodge the beneficial blood clot in the healing socket, causing a painful condition called 'dry socket'.

How do I know if my wisdom tooth needs extraction?

Signs include jaw stiffness, recurring gum infection (pericoronitis) around back molars, food trapping, or crowding of front teeth.

Should I replace an extracted tooth?

Yes (except wisdom teeth). Replacing extracted teeth with a dental implant or bridge prevents adjacent teeth from tilting and preserves jawbone density.

When can I resume normal activities after a wisdom tooth surgery?

Most patients resume light work/school the next day. Avoid heavy physical exercise or heavy lifting for 3 days.
