Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or causing discomfort. It helps maintain oral health by preventing infection and protecting nearby teeth.
At Medicover Hospitals, we offer gentle and precise tooth extraction services using advanced techniques to ensure comfort, safety, and faster healing. Our transparent pricing and personalized care help patients feel confident and well-prepared before treatment.
What is Tooth Extraction Surgery?
Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone when it cannot be saved through other dental treatments. This may be necessary for severe decay, gum disease, crowding, or impacted wisdom teeth.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to minimize pain, and recovery is typically quick with proper care. At Medicover Hospitals, our experienced dentists ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for every patient.
Who Needs Tooth Extraction Surgery?
Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged or problematic to be saved. Common reasons include:
Teeth that are badly damaged by decay or injury and can't be fixed.
Teeth with ongoing infection that don't get better with root canal or other treatments.
Wisdom teeth that are stuck, partially grown, or causing pain and crowding.
Teeth affected by serious gum disease that are loose or harming bone.
Teeth causing overcrowding, especially before braces or orthodontic work.
Teeth broken near or below the gum line that can't be saved.
Teeth getting in the way of other dental treatments or dentures.
Tooth extraction is when a dentist pulls out a tooth. It is done when a tooth is too damaged by decay, infection, or injury to be saved. Sometimes, teeth are removed before braces to make space or when wisdom teeth cause pain.

Benefits of Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction may seem worrying, but it is a vital treatment with many benefits that improve your oral health and comfort. Here are the important benefits explained simply and clearly:
Pain Relief: Removing a severely damaged, infected, or painful tooth brings fast relief and eases daily discomfort.
Stops Infection Spread: Extracting infected teeth stops bacteria from hurting other healthy teeth and gums, preventing serious complications.
Corrects Crowding: Extraction creates space in your mouth, helping teeth to align better, especially before braces or orthodontic treatment.
Prepares for Prosthetics: Removing bad teeth makes room for dentures, implants, or bridges, restoring your ability to chew and smile confidently.
Removes Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that grow sideways or get stuck can damage other teeth; extraction solves this problem and prevents infection.
Protects Gum and Bone: Removing problematic teeth stops gum disease progression and protects jawbone health.
Choosing timely tooth extraction can be essential for a healthier smile and quality of life. If you are unsure, consulting your dentist will provide personalized advice.

Simple Extraction: For teeth that are easy to reach and visible in the mouth. The dentist numbs the area and gently pulls out the tooth.
Surgical Extraction: For teeth that are hard to reach or stuck under the gum or bone. The dentist may need to cut the gum or remove some bone before taking out the tooth.

Not always. Some dental clinics charge separately for follow-up appointments, painkillers, and antibiotics. It's wise to ask for a detailed cost breakdown before scheduling the procedure.
Prices often depend on the city's living and operational costs. For instance, extractions in metro cities like Mumbai or Hyderabad are usually pricier than in smaller towns due to higher clinic expenses and specialist fees.
Yes, many dentists offer a discounted package when several teeth are removed in a single session. However, the exact savings depend on the number of teeth and the type of extraction required.
