Surgical Tooth Extraction in Da Nang
Careful removal of a tooth that is broken at the gum line or has not fully come through — planned with imaging and carried out inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital.
A surgical extraction is used when a tooth cannot simply be lifted out — for example when it has broken off at the gum line, or when it has not fully erupted and is still partly covered by gum or bone. A small opening in the gum, and sometimes dividing the tooth into sections, allows it to be removed carefully with as little disturbance to the surrounding bone as possible.
At Vinmec Picasso, this is planned and carried out inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital. Where it helps, imaging such as an X-ray or CBCT scan shows the position of the roots and nearby nerves so the procedure can be planned around your anatomy. The hospital environment is particularly reassuring when a case is more involved or your general health needs to be considered alongside the treatment.
Why imaging and planning matter
Teeth that are broken down or unerupted sit close to structures that need to be respected, such as nerves and the sinus. Reviewing an image before surgery helps the team choose the safest approach and explain what to expect. Nothing proceeds until you understand the plan, the anesthesia option and the fees.
Comfort and recovery
The area is fully numbed, and for anxious patients or longer procedures the hospital anesthesia team can assess IV sedation or general anesthesia for suitable cases. Afterwards you receive written aftercare guidance and a review appointment so healing can be checked.

Is it right for you?
Often recommended when:
- A tooth has broken off at or below the gum line
- A tooth is partly or fully covered by gum or bone and cannot be lifted out simply
- A previous attempt at simple removal was not possible
May not be the right option when:
- The tooth is fully visible and can be removed with a straightforward extraction
- The tooth can still be restored and does not need removing
Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination and CBCT 3D imaging. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.
What the treatment involves
Assessment & imaging
The tooth is examined and an X-ray or CBCT scan is used where it helps show the roots, nearby nerves and surrounding bone before surgery is planned.
Anesthesia decision
The area is numbed with local anesthetic. For anxious patients or more complex cases, IV sedation or general anesthesia can be assessed with the hospital anesthesia team.
Surgical removal
A small opening in the gum is made and, if needed, the tooth is divided into sections so it can be removed with minimal disturbance to the surrounding bone.
Closing & recovery guidance
The site is cleaned and stitched where appropriate, and you receive written aftercare instructions and a review appointment.
Recovery & aftercare
- Expect some swelling and soreness for a few days; ice and standard pain relief usually help.
- Eat soft foods, avoid vigorous rinsing on the first day, and keep the area clean as directed.
- Any stitches and healing are checked at a follow-up review; contact the clinic if pain or swelling increases.
