A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure. It is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not come into the mouth yet. Surgical extractions commonly are done by oral surgeons. However, they are also done by general dentists.
Both dentists and periodontists are focused on oral health, but while dentists mainly care for teeth, periodontists are focused on gum health and the health of the bones in the jaw. A periodontist performs such treatments as like bone grafting, deep pocket cleanings, and soft tissue removal.
