Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or is causing problems, from a straightforward removal to the surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth. At InDent extractions are handled by oral-surgery specialists who also perform implantology, with CBCT imaging available to plan more complex cases. Pricing reflects difficulty, from a simple extraction through to impacted teeth. Local anaesthesia keeps the procedure comfortable and aftercare guidance is provided.

An extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket, recommended when a tooth is too badly decayed, broken or infected to restore, when it is impacted or poorly positioned, or as part of orthodontic or prosthetic planning. At InDent extractions are performed by surgical-dentistry specialists, the same clinicians who carry out implant placement, which is an advantage when an extraction site is later intended for an implant. Straightforward extractions of erupted teeth are quick procedures under local anaesthesia, while surgical and impacted cases — most commonly lower wisdom teeth — may require a small incision and are priced according to their complexity. For difficult or impacted teeth the clinic can use CBCT 3D imaging to assess the position of roots in relation to nerves and the sinus before surgery, which is associated with safer, better-planned treatment. After removal you are given clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the chance of complications, and any sutures or follow-up are arranged as needed. Where the gap will need replacing, the dentist can discuss options such as an implant, bridge or denture and, in suitable cases, preserve the socket with augmentation material at the time of extraction. The price list separates simple, complex and impacted extractions, as well as primary (milk) tooth removal for children, so costs match the procedure required. Suitability, anaesthesia and any pre-operative imaging are confirmed at consultation.
