Safe and comfortable tooth removal with minimal discomfort
Quick answer
A tooth extraction removes a tooth that is too damaged, infected or crowded to save. At Kapoor's Safe Hands Dental in Sushant Lok, Gurgaon, extractions, including wisdom teeth, are done under local anaesthesia so the area is numb, and a simple extraction often takes just a few minutes.
| Best for | Damaged, infected, crowded or impacted teeth |
|---|---|
| Anaesthesia | Local anaesthesia |
| Simple extraction | Often takes just a few minutes |
| First 24 hours | Soft cool food, no straws, no smoking |
| Afterwards | Consider replacing the tooth |
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health, whether due to severe damage, infection, crowding, or impacted teeth. We use modern anesthesia techniques and a gentle approach to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Severely damaged or decayed teeth beyond repair
Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding
Orthodontic requirements (creating space for alignment)
Infection control when a tooth cannot be saved
Baby teeth that haven't fallen out on schedule
Before any extraction, we conduct a thorough examination (often including X-rays) and discuss the procedure and aftercare with you. Local anesthesia ensures the area is fully numb, and most simple extractions are completed within minutes.
Mild swelling for 1 to 2 days is normal and manageable with prescribed care
Avoid hard, hot, or spicy foods for the first 24 to 48 hours
Gentle rinsing (not vigorous) to keep the area clean
Follow-up guidance provided for wisdom tooth or surgical extractions
A simple extraction typically ranges from ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 per tooth; surgical or impacted wisdom tooth extractions are priced separately based on complexity.
A simple extraction is for a tooth you can see above the gum, which is loosened and lifted out. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth has broken at the gumline, is impacted (stuck under the gum or bone), or has curved roots. Then a small cut in the gum is made and sometimes the tooth is taken out in sections. This is where an oral surgeon's experience helps, and an X-ray or scan shows us in advance what to expect.
Bite on the gauze pad firmly for 30 to 45 minutes to help a clot form
Don't rinse hard, spit forcefully or use a straw for the first day
Avoid smoking, which delays healing and raises the risk of dry socket
Eat soft, cool food and chew on the other side
Rest with your head slightly raised, and use a cold pack on the outside of the cheek in short intervals
Take pain relief only as we advise
From the next day, gently rinse with lukewarm salt water after meals
Bleeding that doesn't stop after 30 minutes of firm pressure with fresh gauze
Pain that gets worse after the second or third day
Swelling that keeps growing, fever, a bad taste or pus
Numbness that lasts far longer than we told you to expect
A missing tooth doesn't just leave a gap. Nearby teeth can drift into the space, the opposite tooth can grow longer, and the bone underneath slowly shrinks. Ask about replacing the tooth with an implant, a bridge or a denture. It's easier to plan this before the tooth comes out than afterwards.
