Transalveolar Extraction (Surgical Extraction) in Ahmedabad
Expert Surgical Solutions for Complex Dental Cases at Sanghvi Face & Dental Hospital
When a tooth cannot be removed by simple forceps—either because it has broken at the gum line, has curved roots, or is buried in the bone—a Transalveolar Extraction is required.
At Sanghvi Face & Dental Hospital in Naranpura, Dr. Darshan Sanghvi (MDS) utilizes advanced maxillofacial techniques to perform these surgical extractions with precision, ensuring minimal bone loss and faster healing.
What is a Transalveolar Extraction?
Unlike a “simple extraction,” a transalveolar extraction involves the controlled removal of a small amount of bone or the sectioning of the tooth to facilitate its delivery. This is a specialized procedure typically performed by an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon.
When is this procedure necessary?
- Root Fragments: When a tooth breaks during a routine extraction.
- Hypercementosis: When the root of the tooth is abnormally thickened.
- Ankylosed Teeth: When the tooth is fused to the surrounding jawbone.
- Dilacerated Roots: Teeth with sharp, curved, or “hooked” roots.
- Multi-rooted Teeth: Heavily decayed molars that need to be separated for safe removal.
Our Advanced Surgical Protocol
We prioritize patient comfort and long-term oral health. Our process includes:
- Radiographic Assessment: We use high-resolution X-rays (and CBCT if required) to visualize the relationship between the tooth roots and vital structures like the inferior alveolar nerve or maxillary sinus.
- Aseptic Environment: Performed in a sterile surgical operatory to prevent post-operative infections.
- Bone Preservation: Dr. Darshan uses “Atraumatic Extraction” techniques to preserve as much jawbone as possible—this is critical if you plan to have Dental Implants in the future.
- Advanced Suturing: High-quality sutures are used to close the socket, promoting “Primary Intent” healing.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
Recovery after a surgical extraction is manageable with the right care. We provide every patient with:
- Customized Pain Management: To ensure a comfortable 48-hour recovery window.
- Healing Instructions: Including cold-press therapy and dietary guidelines (avoiding straws and hot foods).
- Follow-up: A scheduled visit to monitor healing and remove sutures.

FAQs (Transalveolar Extraction )
A normal extraction involves “elevating” a visible tooth. A transalveolar extraction involves creating a small surgical flap to access the root or bone. Because it is a more controlled method, it often results in cleaner healing for difficult cases.
Yes. In most transalveolar procedures, small stitches are used to help the gum tissue heal back into its original position. These are usually removed after 7 days.
In many cases, yes! Dr. Darshan specializes in Immediate Implant Placement. If the infection is minimal, we can often place an implant in the same sitting as the extraction.
No. We use potent local anesthetics to ensure the entire area is numb. You will feel some pressure, but the “surgical” nature of the procedure actually allows for a more predictable and vibration-free experience than a difficult simple extraction.
