- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free procedure.
- Extraction: The tooth is carefully removed, and sutures may be applied if necessary.
- Recovery: Post-operative care instructions are provided to promote healing.

Surgical Tooth Extractions
Purpose: Removal of teeth that may not be easily accessible or have complex root structures.
Procedure: Requires a small incision, sometimes tooth sectioning, and possible sedation or general anesthesia for patient comfort.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Purpose: Removal of wisdom teeth (third molars) that often become impacted or cause crowding and pain.
Procedure: Surgical extraction to alleviate pain and prevent potential complications.
Impacted Tooth Extractions
