Tooth Extraction
Medically reviewed byDr. Saad Irfan— MDS, MSc, BDS·
The fear of tooth extraction keeps many patients in pain for weeks. They know the tooth needs to come out. But the thought of the procedure stops them from picking up the phone. Here is what most patients say after an extraction at Dr. Saad Irfan Dentistry: they were surprised it was over so quickly, and surprised they felt almost nothing. A properly administered local anesthetic means you feel pressure during an extraction — never pain. The discomfort that follows is manageable with standard painkillers and resolves in 2 to 4 days for most simple extractions. At our DHA Phase 5, DHA Phase 8, and Clifton Block 9 clinics in Karachi, we perform both simple tooth extractions and surgical extractions including wisdom tooth removal. Simple extractions are quoted after examination. Surgical extractions are quoted after examination. Our team includes Dr. Muhammad Ali Khuhawar, who specialises in oral surgery and performs complex surgical extractions and impacted wisdom tooth removals at all three Karachi clinics. Dr. Saad Irfan holds an MDS in Restorative Dentistry and an MSc in Dental Materials from the University of Sheffield, UK, and is PMDC registered with over 15 years of clinical experience. Every extraction instrument is sterilised in a Class B autoclave before use. We carry a 5.0 Google rating from 150 verified reviews — many specifically mentioning extractions performed gently and without pain.
What this costs
Quoted after examination
Cost depends on your case — priced per tooth (simple). We give you a written quote at your consultation, before anything is agreed.
What is Tooth Extraction?
Extraction is always the last resort. At Dr. Saad Irfan Dentistry, we assess every case and recommend extraction only when saving the tooth is clinically impossible or not in the patient's long-term interest. When a tooth is destroyed beyond restoration by decay, fracture, or trauma — or when an impacted wisdom tooth is causing recurrent infection, pressure pain, or decay on the adjacent molar — extraction removes the source of the problem and allows healing. A digital OPG X-ray taken at your first visit maps the exact position, root shape, and relationship to key anatomical structures like the inferior alveolar nerve before any procedure begins. The type of extraction — simple or surgical — and the total cost are confirmed before any treatment starts.

Treatment Procedure
Digital periapical X-ray or OPG to assess root shape, length, angulation, and proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve. Determines simple vs surgical extraction. Total cost confirmed before proceeding.
5-10 minutesLocal anesthesia via Wand computer-controlled system. For lower wisdom teeth, inferior alveolar nerve block numbs the entire half of the lower jaw. Complete numbness confirmed before starting. You will feel pressure and movement — never pain.
3-5 minutesSimple extraction: elevator instrument worked into the periodontal ligament space around the tooth root. Controlled luxation motion gradually widens the socket until the tooth is removed cleanly with extraction forceps.
5-15 minutesSurgical extraction (for impacted or complex cases): gingival flap raised. Surgical bur removes minimal bone to access tooth. Tooth sectioned into pieces and each removed individually with minimal force. Socket irrigated. Resorbable sutures placed — dissolve in 7 to 10 days without removal.
20-60 minutes depending on impaction typeSocket irrigated with saline to remove debris. Gauze pad placed — bite down firmly for 30 minutes to form the blood clot. Written aftercare instructions given before leaving. Contact details provided for any post-extraction concern.

Tooth Extraction Recovery Timeline
What to expect during your recovery
First 24 Hours — Clot Formation
0-24 hoursThe most critical period. Blood clot forms in the socket — this is the biological scaffold for healing. Protect it at all costs.
Days 2 to 3 — Peak Swelling
2-3 daysSwelling peaks at Day 2 to 3 — this is normal inflammation. Pain should be reducing, not increasing. Increasing pain at Day 3 to 4 may indicate dry socket.
Days 4 to 14 — Healing Phase
4-14 daysSwelling resolves. Sutures dissolve (if placed). Gradually return to normal foods. Socket closes from outside — internal bone healing continues for months.
