What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a gentle clinical procedure to remove a tooth from its dental alveolus (socket) when severe decay, trauma, or impaction makes preservation impossible. While our primary objective at Premier Dental Care is always to preserve natural teeth whenever biologically feasible, extraction is sometimes the healthiest path to relieve pain and prevent infection. Unrestorable deep root decay, vertical root fractures, advanced periodontal bone loss, or severe traumatic injury make extraction the healthiest clinical decision.
At our Canal Road clinic in Rahim Yar Khan, Dr. Asad Ghafoor and Dr. Azka Zafar perform extractions using modern atraumatic techniques. Rather than using brute force, we use micro-luxators and gentle periotomes to release the periodontal ligament fibers cleanly, minimizing trauma to the surrounding alveolar bone.
