Tooth Extraction at Medixir Clinic
Tooth extraction is a routine yet essential dental procedure performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, impacted, or poses a risk to oral health. At Medixir Clinic, we ensure that every extraction is performed with maximum precision, comfort, and care—protecting your health while preparing for future restoration, if needed.
Our dentists assess each case with digital imaging and 3D diagnostics to determine whether a simple or surgical extraction is required. We prioritize conservative approaches but act decisively when preservation is no longer an option—such as in cases of impacted wisdom teeth, severe infection, or advanced bone loss.
Local anesthesia, gentle techniques, and post-operative care instructions ensure a smooth and pain-free recovery. In many cases, tooth extraction is followed by dental implants, bridges, or other prosthetic planning to restore both function and aesthetics.
At Medixir Clinic, we view tooth extraction not as an end—but as a carefully guided step toward better oral health. Your safety, comfort, and long-term dental well-being are always our priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically performed when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved with restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals.
At Medixir Clinic, tooth extractions are carried out by experienced oral surgeons and dentists using advanced techniques and equipment to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. We prioritize patient comfort and strive to make the procedure as gentle and efficient as possible.
Reasons for tooth extraction include severe tooth decay, advanced periodontal (gum) disease, infection, impacted wisdom teeth, orthodontic treatment planning, or broken teeth that cannot be repaired. Extractions may also be necessary in preparation for implants or dentures.
There are two main types of extractions: simple and surgical. Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth using local anesthesia, while surgical extractions are more complex and involve removing teeth that are broken or impacted beneath the gum line.
The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia to numb the area. For surgical extractions, sedation options are also available. The tooth is then gently loosened and removed using specialized instruments, followed by cleaning and suturing if needed.
After the extraction, it’s normal to experience mild discomfort, swelling, or minor bleeding. These symptoms typically subside within a few days and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Patients are given detailed aftercare instructions to support healing.
Proper aftercare is essential: avoid smoking, strenuous activity, and drinking through a straw during the first 24–48 hours. Soft foods, ice packs, and saline rinses help promote healing and minimize complications like dry socket.
In most cases, tooth replacement is recommended after extraction to prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, bite issues, and bone loss. Options include implants, bridges, or partial dentures depending on your case and oral health goals.
Our team at Medixir Clinic performs extractions with a focus on preserving the surrounding bone and tissues, making future restorations easier and more successful. We also offer bone grafting if needed to prepare the site for dental implants.
Whether it’s a simple removal or a complex surgical extraction, our goal is to ensure a stress-free experience and successful recovery. We are committed to compassionate care and long-term dental health for all our patients.
