Surgical Extractions
Surgical tooth extraction is required when a tooth cannot be removed with a standard extraction technique. At Green California Dental Group in Burbank, Dr. Varand Kerikorian performs surgical extractions to safely remove impacted, fractured, or severely damaged teeth while protecting surrounding bone and tissue.
Precise Surgical Care When Simple Extraction Is Not Enough
Advanced Tooth Removal for Complex Dental Conditions
Teeth that are broken below the gumline, impacted, or surrounded by dense bone often require a surgical approach. Using detailed imaging and controlled techniques, we plan each extraction to minimize trauma and support proper healing.
Surgical Tooth Extraction in Burbank: When It’s Needed
Impacted or Partially Erupted Teeth
Teeth that remain trapped beneath the gums or only partially emerge can place pressure on surrounding teeth and increase the risk of infection. Surgical extraction allows controlled access to remove the tooth safely while minimizing impact on nearby bone and soft tissue.
Fractured or Non-Restorable Teeth
Teeth that are broken below the gumline or weakened by extensive decay may not be removable with standard techniques. Surgical extraction enables complete removal of damaged tooth structure while protecting adjacent teeth and supporting proper healing.
Teeth with Complex Root Structure
Teeth with long, curved, or fused roots can be difficult to remove using simple extraction methods. Surgical techniques provide improved visibility and access, allowing for precise removal while reducing stress on surrounding bone.
Preparation for Future Dental Treatment
In certain cases, surgical extraction is recommended to prepare the area for future restorative procedures. Removing the tooth with a surgical approach helps preserve bone integrity and supports planning for treatments such as dental implants or bone grafting.

How long does recovery take after surgical extraction?
Recovery varies by case, but most patients resume normal activities within a few days. Healing is monitored during follow-up visits.
Will I need bone grafting after a surgical extraction?
In some cases, grafting may be recommended to preserve bone or prepare for future restorative treatment.
