Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved, carried out under local anaesthetic. At Stomatologia Kucharski straightforward extractions, more involved surgical removals that need bone to be eased away, and impacted teeth such as wisdom teeth are all priced clearly. Where a tooth is being removed with a view to replacing it, the dentist can discuss options including implants and bridges at the same visit.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is too damaged, decayed, broken or loose to be restored, or that needs to come out for other reasons such as advanced gum disease or an impacted wisdom tooth. At Stomatologia Kucharski extractions are performed under local anaesthetic so the procedure itself is not painful, and the fee reflects how straightforward or involved the removal is. A simple extraction of a fully erupted tooth is the most common; a surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or its roots require a small amount of bone to be eased away, and removal of an impacted tooth — frequently a wisdom tooth that has not fully come through — is the most complex. The socket may be stitched to help healing where appropriate. The practice's on-site cone-beam imaging helps assess the position of roots, nerves and impacted teeth before surgical cases. After an extraction the dentist provides clear aftercare advice on managing the socket, controlling any swelling and what to eat in the first days. Where the missing tooth will need replacing, the same practice can plan and provide options such as a dental implant, a bridge or a denture, which is convenient for patients combining treatment into a single trip. Suitability, including any medical factors that affect extractions, is reviewed beforehand.
