Simple Tooth Extraction is a common dental procedure performed when a tooth is visible and accessible in the mouth. The procedure involves gently removing the tooth from its socket in the jaw without the need for surgical intervention. The dentist at our affiliated clinic usually recommends this procedure when a tooth is damaged, decayed, or loose beyond repair, and retaining it would cause more problems than benefits. By removing the affected tooth, the mouth is given a chance to heal and regain balance.

Simple Tooth Extraction is often chosen because it is quick, effective, and causes minimal discomfort compared to more complex surgical extractions. With the help of local anesthesia, the surrounding area becomes numb, making the entire process smooth and painless. Once the tooth is removed, the gums naturally close the space over time, allowing proper healing. The procedure helps prevent infection from spreading to other areas of the mouth and reduces the risk of further dental complications.

The benefits of Simple Tooth Extraction extend beyond removing a problematic tooth. It can relieve persistent pain, prevent gum disease from worsening, create space for orthodontic treatment, and improve overall oral health. In many cases, removing one damaged tooth protects the surrounding teeth from decay or infection, helping maintain a healthier and stronger smile. A replacement option such as dental implant, dental bridge, or dental dentures is also available afterwards as needed.

Simple Tooth Extraction begins by consultation with the dentist at the affiliated clinic. During this visit, the dentist carefully examines the tooth, reviews oral health, and may request an X-ray to understand the root position and surrounding bone. Once the treatment plan is confirmed, the extraction is scheduled.

The procedure usually takes around 20 to 40 minutes depending on the tooth’s condition. A local anesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring the process is painless. The dentist at our affiliated clinic then gently loosens the tooth using an elevator before carefully removing it with dental forceps. After removal, gauze is placed on the site to help control bleeding and encourage blood clot formation for proper healing.

Most patients experience only minor downtime, with slight swelling or discomfort lasting 1 to 3 days. Normal daily activities can usually be resumed within the same day or by the next, as long as proper aftercare instructions are followed.
