Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction removes a tooth that is too damaged, decayed or impacted to save, including problematic wisdom teeth. Apolonia Dental covers everything from straightforward removals to surgical extractions of impacted teeth, planned with 3D imaging where needed and carried out by experienced surgeons. Sedation options and German- and English-speaking care are available, with implant replacement offered in the same clinic if desired.

An extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or is causing problems — for example one that is badly broken down, severely decayed, fractured below the gum, loosened by advanced gum disease, or a wisdom tooth that is impacted and repeatedly inflamed or pressing on its neighbour. A simple extraction removes a tooth that is fully erupted and accessible, while a surgical extraction is used when a tooth is impacted, broken at the gumline or has awkward roots and needs a small incision or sectioning to remove it cleanly. Removing a persistently painful or infected tooth is associated with relieving symptoms and preventing the problem spreading to adjacent teeth and bone. At Apolonia Dental extractions are carried out under local anaesthetic by surgeons experienced in oral surgery and implantology, using 3D CT imaging to assess the roots and nearby structures — such as nerves and the sinus — before more complex removals, particularly impacted wisdom teeth. For anxious patients or longer surgical procedures, treatment under sedation/general anaesthesia is available. The clinic gives clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications such as a dry socket. Where a removed tooth needs replacing, the same team can plan an implant — sometimes placed immediately at the time of extraction — so the whole pathway is handled in one clinic. Extractions suit patients with an unsalvageable or impacted tooth; the dentist confirms whether removal is the best option, and what type of extraction is involved, at examination. German- and English-speaking staff support patients travelling from across the border.
