Surgical extractions are necessary when a tooth cannot be removed with a simple extraction. This may include teeth that are impacted, broken below the gumline, severely damaged, or not fully erupted. While the term “surgical” may sound intimidating, the procedure is carefully planned and performed with comfort as a top priority.
At Palmetto Dental Studio, surgical extractions are completed using modern techniques and effective numbing to ensure a smooth, controlled experience. Our team explains each step clearly and provides detailed aftercare instructions to support healing. Removing problematic teeth helps prevent infection, relieve discomfort, and protect surrounding teeth and bone.
When appropriate, we also discuss tooth replacement options to help maintain a healthy, balanced smile after healing.
