Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that is too badly decayed, broken or infected to save, or that needs to come out for orthodontic or other reasons. Performed under local anaesthetic by the clinic's dentists or oral surgeon, routine extractions are straightforward, while more difficult or surgical cases — such as impacted wisdom teeth — are handled in the dedicated surgical room. Clear aftercare advice is given to support healing.

A tooth extraction at Centrum Stomatologiczne Legnica is the removal of a tooth that cannot reasonably be kept — for example one with extensive decay, a fracture below the gum, advanced gum disease, or an infection that has not responded to other treatment — as well as teeth that need to be removed to make room for orthodontic treatment. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before the dentist gently loosens and lifts the tooth from its socket. Routine extractions of a tooth that is intact and accessible are usually quick and well tolerated. Some teeth need a surgical approach: a tooth broken at the gumline, a root that has to be removed in sections, or an impacted wisdom tooth that is partly or fully covered by gum and bone. These are carried out in the centre's dedicated surgical room, where oral-surgery experience and on-site imaging help plan the removal and reduce the chance of complications. After any extraction the dentist explains how to care for the site — protecting the blood clot, what to eat, how to manage any swelling and which symptoms warrant a call back — so the socket heals cleanly. Where a tooth is removed from a visible or chewing position, the team can discuss replacing it later with an implant, bridge or denture so function and appearance are restored. Suitability, anaesthetic and any medical considerations are reviewed beforehand.
