The idea of having a tooth removed makes most people anxious. We understand that — and we work specifically to make the experience as calm, comfortable, and pain-free as possible. Dr. Sobti's excellent anaesthetic technique ensures you feel nothing during the procedure.
Saving a natural tooth is always our first preference. Extraction is recommended only when the tooth cannot be saved or when it is causing harm to neighbouring teeth.
When decay has destroyed too much tooth structure for any restoration — filling, crown, or root canal — to reliably save the tooth.
Severe periodontitis that has destroyed the supporting bone to the point where the tooth cannot be stabilised.
Wisdom teeth that cannot erupt correctly — causing pain, infection, or damage to the tooth in front. Removal is recommended when problems occur or are very likely.
Creating space for other teeth to move into position may require removal of specific teeth as part of an orthodontic treatment plan.
A retained baby tooth preventing the permanent tooth from erupting correctly requires removal to allow normal development.
The type of extraction depends on the tooth's position and condition.
The tooth and surrounding area are fully anaesthetised. Dr. Sobti waits until you feel nothing. This step is never rushed.
For teeth visible above the gum line. The tooth is loosened with a dental elevator and removed with forceps. 10–20 minutes. Minimal post-operative discomfort.
For wisdom teeth, broken teeth, or teeth below the gum line. A small incision is made for access. Local anaesthesia; sedation available for anxious patients. More post-operative discomfort than simple extraction — managed with prescribed medication.
Gauze to bite on. Rest for the remainder of the day. Soft foods for a few days. Avoid smoking. Prescribed pain relief and antibiotics if indicated.
After extraction: An empty socket can cause adjacent teeth to shift and bone to shrink. If the extracted tooth is in the visible smile zone or affects chewing, replacement with an implant or bridge should be discussed at the time of extraction.
