Dental examination before tooth extraction — Dr. Siddharth's Dental Care, Ahmedabad
Tooth extraction is one of the most common dental procedures, but costs vary significantly depending on the type. In Ahmedabad, a simple extraction costs ₹800–₹2,500, while a surgical extraction (like impacted wisdom teeth) costs ₹3,000–₹8,000.
Simple vs Surgical Extraction
🦷 Simple extraction: Tooth is visible above the gum and removed with forceps under local anaesthesia. Quick, 10–15 minutes.
🔧 Surgical extraction: Needed for broken, impacted, or below-the-gum teeth. May require a small incision. 30–45 minutes.
When is extraction necessary?
Severe tooth decay beyond saving with a filling or root canal
Advanced gum disease loosening the tooth
Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding
Orthodontic treatment requiring space
Severely cracked or broken tooth

Aftercare — what to do for the first 24 hours
Bite on the gauze pad for 30–45 minutes to control bleeding
Avoid rinsing, spitting forcefully, or using a straw for 24 hours
Do not smoke for at least 48 hours — it delays healing significantly
⚠️ When to call us immediately: Bleeding that won't stop after 1 hour, severe pain after day 3 (could indicate dry socket), or fever.
Most extractions heal completely within 7–10 days with proper care. At our Shyamal Cross Road clinic, we always discuss whether saving the tooth is possible before recommending extraction.
