A surgical tooth extraction safely removes teeth that can't be taken out simply, such as impacted, broken, or deeply rooted teeth, using a gentle, precise technique that protects the surrounding bone and gums.
From routine removals to complex surgical extractions.
Effective numbing keeps the procedure pain-free.
Careful removal that protects nearby teeth and bone.
Clear aftercare guidance for fast, easy healing.
A surgical tooth extraction is a procedure used to remove a tooth that cannot be lifted out with simple forceps alone. It may involve gently lifting the gum, and sometimes a small amount of bone removal extraction, to reach a tooth that is impacted, broken at the gum line, or has curved roots.
At Mint Dental Care, this complex extraction is carried out under local anaesthetic by an experienced dental surgeon. Where a tooth is large or awkwardly positioned, we may use sectioned tooth removal, dividing the tooth into smaller pieces, so it comes out with the least possible pressure on the surrounding bone and gums.
A simple extraction isn't always possible. A surgical approach is recommended when a tooth can't be safely reached or gripped above the gum line.
Wisdom teeth or others stuck below the gum or against a neighbouring tooth.
Teeth that have snapped off at or below the gum line and can't be gripped.
Complex root shapes that won't release with a simple extraction.
Heavily decayed teeth too fragile to remove without surgical access.
Both remove a tooth, but they suit very different situations, the right choice depends on how visible and accessible the tooth is.
Our dental surgeons will examine your tooth, take any x-rays needed, and explain exactly what your complex extraction involves, so you feel calm and fully informed before we begin.
Book a Consultation TodayWe tailor your anaesthesia to the complexity of the procedure and how anxious you feel, so surgical tooth removal stays comfortable from start to finish.
Dry socket happens when the protective blood clot is lost too early. A few simple steps protect your clot and keep healing on track.
Keep the fresh gauze in place and avoid touching or rinsing the area for the first day.
Suction and smoke can pull out the clot, avoid both for several days after surgery.
Choose soft, cool foods and chew on the opposite side while the socket settles.
Follow your post-extraction care plan and rinse gently with warm salt water after day one.
Once the extraction site has healed, replacing a missing tooth helps you chew comfortably and keeps neighbouring teeth from drifting. We'll recommend the option that best fits your smile and budget.

I recently had a tooth filling done, and Dr. Zee was extremely professional throughout the entire experience. He was a great listener and provided clear, helpful advice. The procedure itself was smooth, quick, and much easier than I expected.
After years of dealing with on/off pain on my tooth (RCT) I finally found relief thanks to Dr. Neha Singh from Mint Dental Clinic. From the moment I walked into her clinic, I felt a sense of calm. Her gentle approach and extensive knowledge put me at ease.
I had an amazing experience with Dr Neha and her associate nurse Mrs Nable! From the moment I walked in, the meet and greet staff were welcoming and professional. Dr Neha took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout.

I had a great experience at Mint Dental Care with Dr. Zeeshanali and Dr. Neha. From the beginning, they both took the time to explain every step of the treatment clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.
I recently went in for a general check-up, cleaning, and X-ray, and I had such a great experience. I’m usually very anxious about dental visits because I’ve had some really bad experiences in Dubai, but Dr. Zeeshan completely changed that for me.
The best dentist I’ve been to. I’ve been visiting for over two years and they are very helpful and professional. Dr Zeeshanali has been amazing especially with care before my wedding. Nurse Jithu is so lovely and professional as well.
I am someone who is genuinely frightened of the dentist, so booking this appointment took a lot of courage for me. From the moment I met Dr Neha, she immediately made me feel calm and reassured.
Absolutely outstanding experience at Mint Dental Clinic. Dr Neha performed my root canal so smoothly and painlessly that I was genuinely amazed, her skill and calm approach are exceptional. Nurse Mary was incredibly kind and reassuring throughout.
Had a really good experience at Mint Dental. The staff were friendly and the whole place felt comfortable and professional.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Zeeshanali for my root canal treatment. From start to finish, the entire process was completely pain-free, which honestly surprised me in the best way.
No. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during the procedure, only gentle pressure. Any soreness afterwards is mild and managed easily with over-the-counter pain relief.
Most surgical extractions take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the tooth's position and root shape. Impacted teeth or sectioned tooth removal may take a little longer, and we'll give you a clear time estimate beforehand.
Stick to soft, cool foods like yoghurt, soup, and smoothies for the first day or two, and chew on the opposite side. Avoid straws, hot drinks, and crunchy foods that could disturb the healing socket.
Most people return to work the next day. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for two to three days, as raised blood pressure can disturb the clot and slow extraction site healing.
The cost depends on the complexity of the case and the type of anaesthesia or sedation used. Your initial consultation includes a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees, and flexible payment plans are available.
Contact us if you have heavy bleeding that won't settle with gauze, increasing pain after day three, swelling that worsens, or a fever. These can be signs of dry socket or infection that we can treat quickly.
