Tooth Extraction in Gudivada | Krishna Multispeciality Dental Clinic

Know when you need it

When is extraction necessary?

While we always try to save your natural tooth, sometimes extraction is the best option for your long-term oral health. Here are the most common reasons why tooth extraction becomes necessary:

Severely damaged or decayed teeth — When decay reaches deep into the tooth and root canal treatment isn't viable, extraction prevents infection from spreading.

Advanced periodontal disease — When gum disease has destroyed the bone supporting the tooth, it can no longer be saved and must be removed.

Overcrowding — Extracting teeth creates space for orthodontic alignment and a better bite.

Impacted wisdom teeth — Third molars that are trapped or growing at an angle must be surgically removed to prevent pain and damage to adjacent teeth.

Different approaches

Types of extraction

Simple extraction

For teeth that are visible and easily accessible. The tooth is loosened and removed gently. Quick and straightforward with minimal trauma.

Surgical extraction

For impacted teeth or teeth that can't be accessed directly. We may remove bone or split the tooth into sections for safe removal.

Wisdom tooth removal

Third molars are often impacted or partially erupted. Our surgeons remove them with precision to prevent pain and future complications.

Multiple extractions

Sometimes several teeth need removal for orthodontics or due to severe decay. We plan carefully to minimise healing time and maintain oral health.

Step by step

The extraction procedure

01

Evaluation & X-rays

We examine the tooth and take digital X-rays to see the roots, bone structure, and any complications. This helps us plan the safest extraction approach.

02

Anaesthesia

Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area. You'll feel pressure and vibration, but no pain. We make sure you're completely comfortable.

03

Extraction

The tooth is carefully loosened using specialised instruments, then gently removed. For complex cases, we may remove bone or divide the tooth into sections.

04

Socket care

The extraction site is cleaned and may be closed with sutures if needed. A gauze pad is placed to help form a blood clot, which is essential for proper healing.

05

Recovery & healing

You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to manage swelling, prevent infection, and promote faster healing. Most people feel normal within a few days.

Frequently asked questions

No. With modern local anesthesia at Krishna Multispeciality Dental Clinic, tooth extraction is virtually painless. While you will feel some pressure during the procedure, you will not feel pain. Any mild post-extraction soreness is easily managed with prescribed medication.

Most patients recover from a tooth extraction in Gudivada within a few days. The soft tissue at the extraction site heals completely in about 2 weeks, while full bone healing takes a few months. Dr. Vidya Sahithi MDS provides detailed aftercare guidelines to ensure a quick recovery.

We recommend avoiding eating for at least 4 to 6 hours after your extraction at our Gudivada clinic to allow the blood clot to stabilize. After that, stick to soft, cool foods (like yogurt, pudding, or soup) for the first 24 to 48 hours, and avoid drinking through straws.

To prevent dry socket after an extraction at Krishna Dental Clinic, avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or spitting forcefully for the first 3 to 5 days. These actions can dislodge the healing blood clot. Follow all post-operative instructions provided by our surgical team.

The cost of tooth extraction in Gudivada depends on whether the tooth is visible (simple extraction) or impacted/broken (surgical extraction). Krishna Multispeciality Dental Clinic offers transparent, competitive pricing. Please visit our contact page to request a personal estimate.
