1. Surgery (Odontectomy)

The damaged tooth may need to be be extracted or removed.

Tooth Removal

A simple extraction this procedure is on a tooth that can be seen in the mouth. For a simple extraction, we loosen the tooth with an instrument called an elevator. Then we use forceps to remove the tooth..

A surgical extraction this is a more complex procedure, which is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not erupted in the mouth. We make a small incision into your gum to surgically remove the broken tooth or impacted wisdom tooth.

Odontectomy An odontectomy is the surgical extraction of a tooth that is partially or completely encompassed by bone. It differs from a regular surgical extraction because the bone is removed that surrounds the tooth and then the extraction of the tooth takes place.
