Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved through decay, infection, fracture or crowding, carried out under local anaesthetic so the procedure is comfortable. Adent handles both routine extractions of permanent teeth and the more involved surgical removal of wisdom teeth. The dentist explains why removal is advised, what to expect during healing and the options for replacing the tooth afterwards if needed.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is beyond saving — for example one badly broken down by decay, fractured below the gum, severely loosened by gum disease, or causing problems through impaction or crowding. While the practice's emphasis is on saving teeth where possible with fillings, root canals and crowns, removal is sometimes the most sensible option, and is carried out under local anaesthetic so you should feel pressure but not pain. At Adent straightforward extractions of erupted permanent teeth start from 400 zł, while wisdom teeth — which are often partially buried or awkwardly angled and need a surgical approach — start from 800 zł, with the exact fee depending on the complexity revealed by examination and X-ray. The dentist will explain beforehand why extraction is recommended, how the procedure will go and what aftercare to follow to support healing and reduce the risk of complications such as a painful dry socket. Simple aftercare — avoiding rinsing vigorously, smoking and hot food immediately afterwards — helps the area heal cleanly, and the dentist provides clear instructions. Where a removed tooth leaves a functional or aesthetic gap, options to replace it such as an implant, bridge or denture can be discussed, ideally as part of the same overall plan. Suitability and any medical considerations, including medications that affect bleeding or healing, are reviewed before treatment.
