Surgical tooth extraction is a more advanced procedure used when a tooth cannot be removed using standard extraction techniques. This includes teeth that are impacted, broken below the gumline, severely positioned, or too damaged for a simple extraction.
At FG Cosmo Dental, surgical extractions are planned carefully using detailed X-rays. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, and we provide full aftercare guidance to support a smooth recovery.
Don’t ignore the signs — early treatment is faster, simpler, and less costly.
A tooth that is stuck in the jawbone or gum and cannot emerge or be removed conventionally.
Teeth fractured at or below the gumline cannot be gripped for standard extraction and require surgery.
Partially erupted or badly positioned wisdom teeth often require surgical removal for safety.
Teeth with extensive bone involvement or complex root anatomy may need a surgical approach.

Surgical techniques allow safe removal of teeth that are stuck, buried, or positioned unusually in the jaw.
Removing an impacted tooth eliminates the persistent pressure, aching, and pain it causes.
Surgical removal eliminates infected tissue before it spreads to surrounding bone and neighbouring teeth.
Careful surgical planning ensures that adjacent teeth and gum tissue are preserved during removal.
Every surgical extraction at FG Cosmo Dental is planned and executed with minimal discomfort and full anaesthesia.
Removing a problematic impacted tooth prevents future complications including infection, cysts, and alignment issues.
Full X-rays are taken to map the tooth position, root shape, and surrounding structures before surgery.
The area is numbed thoroughly so you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
A small incision may be made in the gum to access the tooth. It is removed carefully in sections if needed.
The site is cleaned and stitched if required. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided before you leave.

Surgical extraction is used for teeth that cannot be removed easily with standard forceps — such as impacted or broken-down teeth.
Some surgical extractions require stitches depending on the tooth position and the complexity of the case.
Mild swelling usually improves within a few days. We advise on ice application and medication to manage this.
