Simple Tooth Extraction

A simple extraction is a routine dental procedure used to remove teeth that are visible above the gum line and can be loosened with dental instruments. This type of extraction is often performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair, severely decayed, or needs to be removed for orthodontic or restorative reasons. At Sani Dental Group, we make the process quick, safe, and comfortable.

Who Needs This Procedure?
You may need a simple extraction if you have:

• A tooth with extensive decay or damage

• Severe infection that cannot be treated with a root canal

• Loose teeth due to advanced gum disease

• Overcrowded teeth requiring removal for orthodontic treatment

• Preparation for dentures, implants, or other restorative procedures

What to Expect During the Procedure

• Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area.

• The dentist uses gentle instruments to loosen the tooth.

• The tooth is carefully removed from the socket.
