Tooth Extraction

A straightforward tooth extraction removes a tooth that is too damaged or decayed to save, carried out under local anaesthetic so the procedure is comfortable. At Dentis routine extractions are part of everyday dental care, with clear aftercare advice to help the socket heal. Where a tooth is impacted or broken below the gum, a more involved surgical extraction is offered instead. Replacing the gap later with an implant or bridge can be planned at the same time.

Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved — it may be too broken down by decay, fractured, loosened by gum disease, or causing crowding — and removing it is the best way to stop pain and protect the surrounding teeth and gums. A routine (simple) extraction at Dentis is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is fully numb; the dentist gently loosens and lifts the tooth from its socket, a process that is usually quicker and more comfortable than patients expect. Afterwards the dentist gives clear instructions for the first 24 hours and the days that follow — how to manage the blood clot that protects the socket, what to eat, and how to keep the area clean — so that healing is smooth and the risk of complications such as a dry socket is reduced. Where a tooth is impacted, badly broken at the gum line, or otherwise difficult, the clinic provides surgical extraction as a distinct procedure, which may involve a small incision to access and remove the tooth in sections. Because losing a tooth leaves a gap that can let neighbouring teeth drift and bone shrink, the dentist can discuss replacing it with an implant or a bridge as part of the plan. For patients travelling from Germany, treatment and aftercare are explained in English so recovery away from the clinic is clear.
