Tooth Extraction in Ahmedabad

A tooth may need to come out because of decay, infection, gum disease, injury or an impacted wisdom tooth. At 32 Dental Clinic in Prahlad Nagar, Dr. Vrutti Shah (MDS) performs simple and surgical extractions and explains aftercare and replacement options before you leave.

Tooth Extraction is always the last resort at 32 Dental Clinic in Ahmedabad. Dr. Vrutti Shah (MDS) first checks whether a tooth can be saved through root canal treatment, a Crown and Bridge, or other restorative care before recommending removal. When extraction is necessary, whether simple, surgical, or wisdom tooth removal, it is performed under local anaesthesia with clear aftercare guidance. Afterward, patients are guided toward replacement options such as Dental Implants to prevent bone loss and shifting teeth. Extractions are sometimes needed to create space for Dental Braces or Aligners, or to resolve issues found during a Gum Surgery evaluation. Children receive gentle, age-appropriate care through our Pediatric service, and Cosmetic Dentistry can restore appearance once healing is complete. Contact the clinic to discuss your options.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
  • When is tooth extraction actually necessary?
    Extraction is typically needed for severe decay, a fracture below the gum line, a failed root canal, advanced gum disease, an impacted wisdom tooth, or to make space for orthodontic treatment.
  • Is tooth extraction painful?
    The area is fully numbed with local anaesthesia before the procedure, so you should feel pressure and movement but not sharp pain.
  • How long does recovery from a tooth extraction take?
    Most patients recover comfortably within three to five days, with mild swelling or stiffness settling within the first couple of days.
  • What foods should I eat after a tooth extraction?
    Stick to soft foods such as yoghurt, dal, khichdi, or scrambled eggs for the first 48 to 72 hours and avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy items.
  • Do I need to replace an extracted tooth?
    In most cases yes, since a gap can shift neighbouring teeth and affect your bite over time. Options include a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture.
  • Are wisdom teeth always removed?
    No, only impacted or problematic wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or damage to neighbouring teeth need to be removed.
