Dental extraction is the clinical removal of a tooth from its socket in the alveolar bone. It is typically indicated for teeth that are severely decayed, fractured beyond repair, infected, or contributing to crowding or orthodontic complications.
The procedure begins with a comprehensive evaluation and radiographic examination to assess the tooth and surrounding structures. Under local anesthesia, our dentist uses specialized instruments to gently loosen and remove the tooth. In complex cases (e.g., impacted or broken teeth), a surgical extraction may be performed, involving flap elevation and bone removal.
The patient experiences relief from pain or infection caused by the problematic tooth. After the procedure, healing typically occurs within one to two weeks, and post-operative care is crucial to prevent complications such as dry socket or infection. Tooth replacement options, such as implants or bridges, may be discussed for long-term functional and aesthetic restoration.
Our clinic provides comprehensive dental care, from implants and veneers to crowns and bridges — all handled by experienced dentists in Bali you can trust.
