Tooth Extraction
What is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the complete removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. At Symphony Dental Clinic, your trusted dentist in Bandra West, we perform both simple and surgical extractions using advanced techniques, gentle approaches, and appropriate anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. While preserving natural teeth is always our first priority, sometimes extraction becomes necessary to protect your overall oral health and wellbeing.
Dr. Sailee Kalyankar, recognized as the best dentist in Bandra, understands that the thought of tooth extraction can cause anxiety for many patients. However, modern extraction techniques have evolved significantly—what was once a difficult, painful procedure is now typically quick, comfortable, and followed by minimal post-operative discomfort when performed by experienced hands.
Surgical Extractions are necessary for teeth that haven’t fully erupted, are broken below the gum line, have curved or complex roots, or require bone removal for access. These more involved procedures may include gum tissue incision, bone removal around the tooth, or tooth sectioning into smaller pieces for easier removal. Our dental clinic in Khar West performs surgical extractions with precision and care, ensuring optimal outcomes and comfortable recovery.
Our Procedure, Step by Step
What Happens During the Tooth Extraction Procedure
1
Comprehensive Examination
The tooth and surrounding structures are carefully assessed using digital imaging to plan a safe extraction.
2
Anesthesia and Comfort Care
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free procedure; sedation options may be used when required.
3
Tooth Loosening and Removal
The tooth is gently loosened and removed using controlled techniques to minimize tissue trauma.
4
Socket Cleaning and Care
The area is cleaned thoroughly, and bone preservation may be considered for future restoration.
5
Closure and Aftercare Guidance
The site is secured, and detailed post-procedure instructions are provided to support smooth healing.
Ideal Candidates for the Procedure
- Severely Decayed Teeth: Tooth extraction is recommended for patients with teeth that cannot be saved through fillings, crowns, or root canal treatment.
- Fractured or Broken Teeth: Teeth fractured below the gum line, split vertically, or broken in ways that make restoration impossible require extraction.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Third molars that remain trapped beneath gum tissue or bone, grow at incorrect angles, or lack sufficient space to emerge properly should be extracted to prevent pain, infection, cysts
- Overcrowded Mouths: Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment sometimes require strategic tooth extractions to create space for proper alignment.
- Teeth Blocking Denture Fit: Loose, broken, or poorly positioned teeth that interfere with denture placement and function may need extraction to allow proper prosthetic restoration.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
- Removing a severely infected or damaged tooth eliminates the source of discomfort and prevents infection from spreading to surrounding tissues or the jawbone.
- Extraction also protects long-term oral health. Infected teeth can compromise neighboring teeth and gums, leading to more complex dental issues. Timely removal helps maintain a healthier oral environment and prevents complications.
- Advanced gum disease destroys the bone supporting teeth. Extracting severely affected teeth halts this destructive process
- Removing a problematic tooth creates an opportunity for replacements such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures—restoring function and aesthetics.
- Impacted wisdom teeth that remain can cause numerous problems years later including infections, cysts, tumors, and damage to second molars. Proactive extraction prevents these future complications.

Invisalign Treatment Review:
Getting aligners treatment was always on my mind. Dr Sailee and Dr Sharvari have been excellent. Genuinely happy with the results after 8months of the treatment.
Things have been systematic, and the clinics atmosphere is very comforting.

Amazing experience!
Went to extract my decayed tooth and it was completely painless.
Good support was provided for the next 4-5 days as well.
Best part is Dr. Sailee tries to save the tooth as much as possible over extraction or placing implants, so I would recommend the clinic for trustworthy experience!

I visited Dr. Sailee recently and was genuinely impressed by her approach. She explained my tooth issue so simply and patiently, almost like she would to a child — which instantly put me at ease. It never felt like the usual dental routine of “drill, fill, and extract.” She took the time to help me understand what was happening and why. Truly one of the most genuine dentists I’ve met.

If you’re looking for a smile makeover, Dr Sailee Kalyankar is the one to visit. I got veneers and the difference is honestly visible – my teeth look so natural and perfect.

Had a fantastic experience at Symphony Dental Care! Dr. Sailee and her team made my root canal and crown treatment smooth and painless. They even played my favorite songs during the treatment, which really helped ease my anxiety. Excellent care, modern clinic, and great attention to detail. Highly recommend!
