Extraction
is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It's often necessary for severely decayed, damaged, or impacted teeth that can't be saved through other treatments. Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth, while surgical extractions are needed for teeth that are not easily accessible. This procedure alleviates pain, prevents further complications, and can be a preliminary step for orthodontic treatment or dental implants.
Regular Extraction
Regular extraction involves the removal of a tooth that is visible in the mouth. It's typically performed when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or loosened by gum disease. The procedure is straightforward, usually requiring local anesthesia, and it helps to alleviate pain, prevent infection, and maintain oral health.Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure to extract one or more of the third molars, which often emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. These teeth can cause issues such as impaction, crowding, or infection. The removal is typically performed surgically and aims to prevent future dental problems and maintain alignment of the existing teeth.Orthodontic Tooth Extraction
Orthodontic tooth extraction is performed to create space for the proper alignment of teeth. It's often necessary in cases of overcrowding to ensure the success of orthodontic treatments like braces. This extraction helps to achieve a balanced bite and an aesthetically pleasing smile by allowing the remaining teeth to move into their ideal positions.Surgical Extraction or Disimpaction
Surgical extraction, or disimpaction, is a more complex procedure required for teeth that are not easily accessible or have not fully erupted, such as impacted wisdom teeth. This involves making an incision in the gum to access the tooth, and sometimes removing bone around the tooth. The procedure alleviates pain, prevents further complications, and maintains overall oral health.Types
