When a tooth needs to come out
We always try to save a tooth first. Sometimes it’s too broken, too loose or too infected — or a wisdom tooth is stuck at an angle and causing repeated trouble. Then removing it is the kindest option.
Simple and surgical extractions
A simple extraction is a tooth we can see and gently loosen; it usually takes twenty minutes. A surgical extraction — most impacted wisdom teeth — involves a small opening in the gum and sometimes dividing the tooth. It takes longer but is done under the same full numbing.
Recovery
Most patients are back at work the next day after a simple extraction, and within two to three days after a wisdom tooth. You’ll get written aftercare, a same-evening WhatsApp check-in, and a free review a week later.
