Dr. Alankar administers local anesthesia to guarantee complete numbness. Using specialized instruments such as elevators and forceps, the extraction is performed with precision. Controlled pressure separates the periodontal ligament, allowing removal while preserving the
alveolar bone structure

How Does Tooth Extraction Transform Your Oral Health?
Local anesthesia ensures complete numbness during the procedure, and most patients experience minimal discomfort managed with pain medication.
Modern techniques reduce risks. Complications such as dry socket (2-5% incidence) and temporary numbness are effectively managed with proper care.
Simple extractions typically require 20-30 minutes, while more complex cases may take up to an hour.
Myth vs. Reality Comparison:
• Myth: Extractions always require lengthy recovery
• Reality: Most patients resume normal activities within 2-3 days
• Myth: Extraction sites never heal properly
