Surgical Tooth Extraction
Some teeth require a more detailed surgical approach for removal. Aria begins with a thorough evaluation of the tooth, surrounding anatomy, your medical history, and the larger restorative plan — then explains the recommended next step in clear, understandable terms.
When is a surgical extraction considered?
A surgical extraction may be considered when the position, condition, or accessibility of a tooth requires more than a routine removal approach. The details vary widely from person to person, and Aria evaluates the clinical situation carefully before discussing the treatment plan.

The Intent of Care

As with any surgical procedure, surgical tooth extraction involves risks such as swelling, infection, dry socket, or temporary numbness. These risks are presented calmly and discussed thoroughly during your consultation.
Alternatives
Depending on the tooth and its condition, alternatives such as root canal therapy, crowns, or monitoring may be considered. We discuss all appropriate options before recommending extraction.
