Difficult Extractions

What are Difficult Extractions?

Difficult extractions refer to complex tooth removal procedures where teeth are broken, impacted, severely decayed, or positioned irregularly, making standard techniques insufficient. These cases require specialized surgical approaches for safe and effective removal.

When are Difficult Extractions needed?

At Face Mile – The Dentofacial Clinic, difficult extractions are often required when a tooth cannot be removed with simple forceps due to its root structure, position, or condition. This includes impacted wisdom teeth, fractured roots, or ankylosed teeth.

How is the procedure performed?

Our maxillofacial surgeons carefully assess the condition using digital imaging. Under local or general anesthesia, a precise incision is made, bone may be trimmed if needed, and the tooth is removed in sections. The site is then sutured for optimal healing.

Why choose Face Mile?

With advanced surgical tools and extensive expertise, Face Mile – The Dentofacial Clinic ensures that even the most challenging extractions are managed with care, precision, and minimal discomfort to the patient.
