Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or is causing problems, carried out under local anaesthetic. At this practice extractions are part of the oral surgery offering and are priced from 150 to 450 zł depending on how straightforward the tooth is to remove. The dentist explains why extraction is recommended, what to expect during the procedure and how to care for the site afterwards to support comfortable healing.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jaw. It becomes necessary when a tooth is too badly decayed or broken to repair, when severe gum disease has loosened it, when a tooth is impacted or causing crowding, or occasionally as part of a wider treatment plan. At Stomatologia przy Grunwaldzkiej extractions are carried out under local anaesthetic so the procedure itself is not painful, in keeping with the practice's focus on painless treatment. Before the extraction the dentist assesses the tooth, often with the help of imaging, and discusses why removal is the best option and what alternatives — if any — exist. Simple extractions of a visible, single-rooted tooth are quicker and sit at the lower end of the 150–450 zł range, while teeth that are broken at the gum line, have multiple or curved roots, or need a small surgical approach take more time and fall toward the upper end. Afterwards you will be given clear aftercare advice: how to manage the blood clot that forms in the socket, what to eat, how to keep the area clean and what mild discomfort or swelling to expect as it heals over the following days. Where appropriate the dentist will also talk through options for replacing the tooth, such as a denture or other prosthetic work offered by the practice, so that the gap can be restored once the site has healed.
