A tooth that can not be saved with restorative materials may need to be removed. Before removing your tooth, the area will be numbed with anesthesia. The tooth is then loosened using a special dental instrument known as an elevator. After it is loosened from the socket, it is gently removed by a forcep, a dental instrument commonly used in dental extractions. Stitches may be necessary after the removal of a tooth.

Dr. Sobhani of Greater Washington Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery was wonderful. Her consultation was thorough and not rushed. The surgery was quick and painless even though the tooth was broken off at the gum. She explained every step in the process during the surgery. After the extraction, Dr.Sonhani took the time to explain how to care for the gum giving it time to heal.
