Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal
Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal
When a tooth is severely decayed, broken, or causing crowding or pain, extraction may be the best option to protect your oral health. At Global Dentistry, the best dentist in Perumbakkam, we perform safe and gentle extractions — including surgical removals and wisdom tooth procedures — using advanced techniques and thorough post-operative care for quick healing and comfort.
Simple Tooth Extraction
Used for teeth that are visible and easy to access, simple extractions involve gently removing the tooth with forceps after loosening it. Ideal for decayed or loose teeth that cannot be saved.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
When a tooth is broken at the gum line or impacted, surgical extraction is needed. It involves making a small incision in the gum and carefully removing the tooth, often in sections.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are often removed to prevent pain, infection, or misalignment. We offer safe removal under local anesthesia, ensuring a smooth, pain-free experience.
Impacted Wisdom Tooth Surgery
When a wisdom tooth is stuck beneath the gum or pushing against nearby teeth, surgical intervention is required. We remove the impacted tooth with precision and care to prevent complications.
Tooth Extraction for Braces Preparation
In some orthodontic cases, tooth extraction is necessary to create space for proper alignment. It’s a routine part of many braces treatments and helps ensure optimal results.
Why Choose Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction can prevent infections, pain, and damage to neighboring teeth. Whether due to decay, trauma, or overcrowding, removing the problematic tooth often leads to better oral health. At Global Dentistry, we make the process gentle and stress-free, using modern methods, local anesthesia, and thorough aftercare.
