Complex Dental Extractions Woollahra | Eastern Suburbs Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Some teeth present more challenges than others when it comes to removal. Whether due to their position, condition, or surrounding structures, certain extractions require a more advanced approach. At Eastern Suburbs Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ESOMS) in Woollahra, we are equipped to handle these complex cases with care.

What Are Complex Dental Extractions?

A complex dental extraction involves the removal of a tooth that cannot be easily accessed or removed through standard extraction techniques. Situations that may necessitate a complex extraction include:

Impacted teeth: Teeth that have not fully erupted or are trapped beneath the gum line, often seen with wisdom teeth.
Broken or fractured teeth: Teeth that have broken at or below the gum line, making them difficult to grasp and remove.
Teeth with curved or multiple roots: These anatomical variations can complicate the extraction process.
Teeth surrounded by dense bone or close to vital structures: Proximity to nerves or sinuses requires meticulous planning and execution.

Why Might You Need a Complex Extraction?

Several scenarios can lead to the need for a complex extraction:

Severe decay or infection: When a tooth is extensively decayed or infected, and restoration is not feasible.
Orthodontic preparation: Removing teeth to alleviate crowding or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.
Pre-prosthetic surgery: Extracting teeth in preparation for dentures or implants.
Pathological conditions: Removal of teeth affected by cysts, tumours, or other pathological entities.
