Complex Tooth Extraction: Complex tooth extraction is a surgical procedure performed when a tooth cannot be removed through normal methods. These teeth are often impacted, infected, or difficult to extract. The surgeon usually opens the gum and bone tissue around the tooth and uses special tools to remove the tooth in pieces. Local anesthesia is administered during this procedure, ensuring that the patient feels no pain. The recovery process can vary from a few days to a week, and it is essential to follow the care instructions provided by your doctor during this period.
Impacted Tooth Extraction: Impacted teeth are those that cannot fully emerge and remain stuck within the bone or gum tissue. Wisdom teeth are commonly impacted. Impacted teeth can cause pain, infection, or alignment issues for surrounding teeth. Surgically removing these teeth may require removing some of the surrounding bone. After the operation, the gum is stitched, and the healing process begins. During this process, painkillers and cold compresses can be used to reduce pain and swelling.
