A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure. It is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not come into the mouth yet. Surgical extractions commonly are done by oral surgeons. However, they are also done by general dentists.
Simple Extraction: Your dentist will grasp the tooth with specialized pliers called extraction forceps and move them back and forth to loosen the tooth before removing it. Sometimes, a surgical cutting instrument called a luxator â which fits between the tooth and the gum â is used to help loosen the tooth.
