Removal is the last option
Fillings, root canal treatment and crowns are considered first. An extraction is advised only when keeping the tooth is not realistic.

Dental Extractions in Bandra, Mumbai
A planned removal, with the gap and your week both thought through
Nobody looks forward to losing a tooth. When removal is the right call, two things make it easier: knowing what the day will be like, and knowing what happens to the space afterwards.
At our Bandra West clinic the dentist first checks whether the tooth can be saved. If it cannot, you are shown why on the X-ray. Then the extraction, the healing period and any replacement are planned together, so the visible result is considered before the tooth comes out.
The gap is planned early
If the tooth shows when you smile, we discuss temporary and long-term replacements before the appointment, not after.
Timed to suit your week
A simple extraction is a short appointment. We suggest booking it when you can take the rest of the day gently.
What to Expect
How a tooth extraction is carried out at Nitro Dentists, Bandra
The visit begins with an X-ray so the dentist can see the shape of the roots and how close they are to nerves or the sinus. Your medical history matters here. Tell us about blood thinners, diabetes, heart conditions, pregnancy and any allergies.
The tooth and the surrounding gum are numbed with local anaesthetic. You will feel firm pressure as the tooth is loosened, but it should not be sharp. A tooth that is broken, or one with curved roots, may need to be removed in sections, which is called a surgical extraction and can take longer.
Afterwards you bite on a gauze pad until the bleeding slows. A blood clot forms in the socket, and protecting that clot is the main job for the first day. That means no vigorous rinsing, spitting, smoking or drinking through a straw.
Soreness and mild swelling are usual for a few days. Soft, cool food helps. From the next day, gentle warm salt water rinses are normally advised. If pain gets worse after two or three days instead of better, call the clinic, as this can be a sign of dry socket and is straightforward to treat.
Get Started
Why a Tooth May Need to Go
Situations where extraction is usually recommended
Each of these is confirmed with an examination and X-ray. Where there is a fair chance of saving the tooth, your dentist will explain that option too.
Too little tooth left to rebuild
When decay or a fracture extends well below the gum line, a filling or crown may have nothing sound to hold on to.
A tooth that has become loose
Advanced gum disease can destroy the bone supporting a tooth until it can no longer be stabilised.
Third molars causing trouble
Wisdom teeth that are stuck or partly through the gum can cause repeated infection or damage the tooth in front.
Space for alignment
In crowded mouths, the orthodontic plan sometimes calls for selected teeth to be removed so the rest can be straightened.
After the Socket Heals
Decide early what will fill the space
A gap left for long can allow nearby teeth to tilt and the opposing tooth to drift, and the bone in the area slowly shrinks. Wisdom teeth generally do not need replacing. For other teeth, ask your dentist about implants, bridges or a partial denture, and about the right time to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on which tooth is removed. A back tooth is rarely visible, though you may notice food collecting in the space until it is restored. A tooth near the front will show when you smile or speak, so a temporary replacement is usually arranged in advance. The gum generally closes over in a few weeks, while the bone underneath continues to remodel for some months.
After a simple extraction, many people manage quiet desk work later the same day, although talking a lot is uncomfortable while the area is numb. We generally suggest an afternoon or end-of-week slot so you can rest afterwards. After a surgical or wisdom tooth removal, plan for a day or two of rest and avoid the gym and heavy lifting for a few days. A simple extraction is normally one visit, with a review only if stitches or healing need checking.
Wait until the numbness has worn off so you do not bite your cheek or tongue. For the first day, keep to soft and cool or lukewarm food such as curd, khichdi, dal, soup that has cooled, or smoothies eaten with a spoon. Avoid very hot drinks, alcohol, spicy or crunchy food and straws. Chew on the other side and return to your normal diet gradually as the area feels comfortable.
Dry socket happens when the blood clot in the socket is lost or breaks down too early, leaving the bone exposed. It causes a deep, worsening ache a few days after the extraction, often with a bad taste. It is more common after lower wisdom tooth removal and in smokers. Not smoking, not rinsing forcefully on the first day and following the aftercare advice you are given all reduce the risk. If it does occur, the dentist can clean and dress the socket to ease the pain.
It varies with the method and the condition of the site. A temporary denture can sometimes be fitted on the day of the extraction. Bridges are usually made once the gum has settled. Implants may be placed at the time of extraction in selected cases, or after a healing period of some weeks to months. Your dentist will recommend the timing after seeing how much bone and infection is present.
