Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that is too damaged, decayed or problematic to save, carried out under local anaesthetic. The dentist explains why extraction is the best option, removes the tooth as gently as possible and gives clear aftercare advice for healing. Straightforward single- and multi-rooted extractions are priced by complexity, with wisdom teeth and impacted teeth handled surgically.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or is causing problems — for example through extensive decay, fracture, advanced gum disease, or crowding. At Leśnickie Centrum Stomatologiczne the dentist first confirms that extraction is the most sensible option, discussing alternatives where they exist, then numbs the area thoroughly with local anaesthetic so the procedure itself is not painful. A simple extraction loosens and removes the tooth through its socket; multi-rooted teeth take a little more work, which is reflected in the price. Wisdom teeth are priced separately, and impacted or horizontally positioned wisdom teeth are handled as surgical extractions, which may involve releasing the gum and sectioning the tooth to remove it safely. The clinic also performs related minor oral surgery such as apicectomy (root-tip resection), abscess drainage and cyst removal. After any extraction you are given detailed aftercare guidance to support clot formation and healing and to reduce the chance of complications. Where a tooth is removed from a visible or functional position, the dentist can discuss replacement options — an implant, bridge or denture — so that gaps can be restored once healing is complete. Following the aftercare instructions is associated with smoother, more comfortable recovery.
