Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or is causing problems, carried out under local anaesthetic. Denta Mare performs both routine extractions and more complex surgical removals — such as broken-down roots or impacted teeth — within its oral surgery service. The clinic plans difficult cases with 3D imaging where needed and provides aftercare guidance to support healing. Replacement options, including implants, can be discussed for the resulting gap.

An extraction removes a tooth that is too damaged, decayed, infected or poorly positioned to keep. A routine (simple) extraction loosens and lifts out a tooth that is fully erupted and accessible, while a surgical extraction is used for teeth that are broken at the gum line, have curved or retained roots, or are impacted — sometimes requiring a small incision or sectioning of the tooth. Both are carried out under local anaesthetic so the procedure itself is not painful. At Denta Mare a routine extraction is priced at 300–500 zł according to difficulty, and a surgical extraction at 800–1,500 zł, reflecting the additional time and technique involved. The clinic's oral surgery service uses 3D cone-beam CT imaging where helpful to assess root shape and the position of nearby structures before a complex removal, which is associated with safer, better-planned surgery. After the tooth is out the clinician provides clear aftercare instructions to protect the healing socket and reduce the risk of complications. Where a functional or visible tooth has been removed, the team can discuss replacement options — including a dental implant or a prosthetic — so the gap can be restored later. Extractions suit teeth that genuinely cannot be saved or are causing crowding or infection; the dentist always reviews whether the tooth might instead be preserved, for example with root canal treatment, before recommending removal.
