Surgical Tooth Extractions
Safe and precise removal of difficult or broken teeth.
What Is a Surgical Tooth Extraction?
A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth can’t be removed with standard tools because it’s severely damaged, deeply impacted, or fused to the bone. This advanced procedure ensures safe and complete removal while protecting surrounding teeth and tissues.
Common Reasons for Surgical Extraction:
Severely Broken or Decayed Teeth: When the crown is fractured below the gum line.
Impacted Teeth: Such as difficult wisdom teeth or deeply embedded canines.
Failed Root Canal: Removing a tooth with chronic infection.
Pre-Prosthetic Preparation: Clearing teeth before implant or denture placement.
Surgical extractions are performed with precision and care — ensuring a safe, comfortable procedure and a smooth recovery.
Benefit: Stops infection and relieves pain, often the first step toward a healthier smile.

Socket Preservation & Bone Grafting
After a tooth extraction, introducting bone graft is required to protect close by anatomy such maxiillary sinus, or lower jaw nerve. This involves gently filling the empty socket with bone graft material or a collagen plug to:
Prevent bone loss and support nearby teeth
Speed up healing and reduce the risk of complications
Prepare the site for future dental implants
Benefits of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting helps stabilize the jaw, preserve facial structure, and enhance overall healing, reducing the chances of issues like dry socket while setting the stage for long-term oral health.
