Quick Answer
Simple extractions are usually easier to plan than broken molars, impacted wisdom teeth, or infected teeth. The dentist needs to check the tooth first so the clinic can guide you on the safest option and the likely cost.
Simple extraction vs surgical extraction
A simple extraction is usually done when the tooth is visible and can be removed without cutting gum tissue or sectioning the tooth. A surgical extraction may be needed when the tooth is broken, buried, badly decayed, impacted, or difficult to access.
Simple Extraction
Often used for visible teeth that are loose, damaged, or cannot be saved.
Surgical Extraction
May be needed for broken roots, impacted teeth, difficult molars, or teeth below the gum.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
