Description
During a classic extraction, the dentist uses specialized tools – elevators and forceps – to gently loosen and remove the tooth from its socket, without damaging surrounding tissues. The entire procedure typically lasts several minutes, and the patient can return to daily activities on the same day, provided post-procedure recommendations are followed.
Who is this procedure for?
Classic extraction primarily applies to:
-
teeth severely damaged by decay,
-
teeth with mobile roots,
-
deciduous teeth that do not fall out naturally (in adult patients),
-
teeth requiring removal before orthodontic treatment.
How does it differ from other types of extraction?
This is the simplest form of tooth removal – without the need for gum incision or root sectioning. For impacted, fractured, or misaligned teeth, more advanced procedures are necessary, such as:
Ensure comfort and safety
At Stomo Clinic, we place great importance on our patients’ comfort. Every extraction is preceded by thorough diagnostics and a discussion of the treatment plan. If necessary, we can also offer additional support, such as inhalational sedation (laughing gas), especially for patients with dental phobia or elevated stress levels.
