Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is too damaged, decayed or loose to be saved, or that is causing problems such as infection or crowding. PARKOWA's oral-surgery specialists handle both straightforward extractions and more complex surgical removals, including teeth that need to be elevated from the bone. The price reflects how difficult the tooth is to remove, with molars and surgical cases at the higher end.

An extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or that is causing harm — for instance a tooth broken down by decay, loosened by advanced gum disease, badly cracked, or impacted and crowding the others. While saving teeth is always preferred, removal is sometimes the most sensible option, and replacing the tooth afterwards (for example with an implant or bridge) can then be planned. PARKOWA's oral- and maxillofacial-surgery specialists carry out both simple extractions and surgical extractions, where a tooth or root that is not easily accessible is removed by gently raising it from the surrounding bone. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic so the area is fully numb, and the difficulty of the case drives the price: a single-rooted tooth that lifts out straightforwardly sits at the lower end, while a multi-rooted molar or a tooth requiring surgical elevation costs more. The clinic also provides related minor surgery such as root-tip resection and removal of retained roots. Afterwards you are given clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the small risk of complications, and the team can discuss options for replacing the missing tooth at the same time. Extraction suits patients with an unrestorable, severely infected or problematic tooth; the surgeon assesses the tooth, usually with an X-ray, and explains the approach and any sedation or surgical steps in advance.
