Removal of Impacted Tooth - Soft Tissue
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
The removal of an impacted tooth, particularly when it involves soft tissue impaction, is a common dental procedure aimed at addressing teeth that have not fully emerged through the gums. Impacted teeth can cause various oral health issues, including pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. Most commonly, wisdom teeth are affected, but any tooth can become impacted depending on its position in the mouth and available space.
Soft tissue impaction occurs when a tooth is blocked by the gums, with the crown of the tooth still located beneath the gumline. Unlike hard tissue impaction (where the tooth is also blocked by bone), soft tissue impaction is slightly less complex but still requires surgical intervention. During this procedure, the oral surgeon makes a small incision in the gum tissue to access and remove the tooth. Local or general anesthesia is typically used to ensure the patient’s comfort.
Before the procedure begins, diagnostic tools like X-rays or 3D imaging are used to evaluate the position of the tooth and any surrounding structures. This step ensures that the surgery can be performed with minimal risk to adjacent teeth, nerves, and sinuses. Once the tooth is removed, stitches may be required to close the incision, and a gauze pad is placed to manage bleeding.
Procedure Duration
The length of the impacted tooth removal procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the number of teeth being removed. For a single tooth removal involving soft tissue impaction, the procedure typically lasts around 30 to 60 minutes. However, if multiple teeth need to be extracted or if the tooth is positioned in a more difficult-to-reach area, the duration can extend.
Phase 1: Pre-surgical Preparation
Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough examination, which includes dental imaging and a discussion of medical history. The dentist or oral surgeon will determine the appropriate anesthesia option based on the patient's comfort level and the complexity of the extraction. This preparatory phase may take 15 to 30 minutes.
Phase 2: Surgical Procedure
The actual removal begins with the administration of anesthesia, followed by the incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth. Using specialized dental instruments, the tooth is gently loosened and removed. If the tooth is large or deeply embedded, it may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier extraction. This stage typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes.
Phase 3: Post-procedure Recovery
After the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned, and the incision is closed with stitches if necessary. A recovery period follows where the patient rests until the anesthesia wears off. Immediate post-surgical care instructions are provided, including managing swelling and pain with ice packs and prescribed medications. Most patients can expect to return home within an hour after the procedure, with total recovery lasting between one to two weeks depending on individual healing times.
Benefits
- Prevents infections: Removing impacted teeth reduces the risk of infections caused by bacteria trapped in the soft tissue.
- Pain relief: Alleviates discomfort and pain associated with pressure and inflammation around the impacted tooth.
- Preserves adjacent teeth: Prevents damage to nearby teeth caused by crowding or misalignment due to the impacted tooth.
- Improved oral hygiene: Removal helps maintain better oral hygiene by eliminating hard-to-clean areas where food particles and bacteria accumulate.
- Reduced risk of cysts or tumors: Eliminates the potential for cysts or other growths that can develop around impacted teeth.

Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore are home to internationally accredited dental clinics. India’s experienced surgeons and modern facilities make it an appealing destination for impacted tooth removal surgeries.
Risks & Considerations
- Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection following tooth extraction. Proper post-surgical care, including antibiotics and good oral hygiene, can reduce this risk.
- Dry socket: This condition occurs when the blood clot that forms in the tooth socket is dislodged or dissolves before healing is complete, leading to pain and delayed recovery.
- Nerve damage: In rare cases, the nerves near the impacted tooth can be damaged during removal, potentially causing temporary or permanent numbness in the lips, tongue, or chin.
- Swelling and bruising: It’s common to experience some swelling and bruising after the procedure. These symptoms usually subside within a few days to a week but can cause discomfort.
- Bleeding: Persistent bleeding is possible, especially in the first 24 hours after surgery. Following post-surgical care instructions is crucial to managing this risk.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When selecting a doctor and hospital for impacted tooth removal, it’s essential to prioritize qualifications and experience. Choose a dental surgeon who specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery or a general dentist with extensive experience in surgical extractions. Verifying the dentist’s credentials, such as board certification and continuing education, can provide peace of mind.
Additionally, consider the facility’s reputation. Look for hospitals or dental clinics that are accredited and have a track record of performing dental surgeries safely. Online reviews and patient testimonials can offer valuable insights into the quality of care provided. Ensure that the clinic uses modern equipment and adheres to international standards of hygiene and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
