Tooth Extraction

Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved because of severe decay, fracture, advanced gum disease or infection, carried out under local anaesthesia. The dentist removes the tooth as gently as possible and provides clear aftercare advice to support healing of the socket. Platelet-rich fibrin made from your own blood can be added to aid recovery, and replacement options such as an implant or bridge can be discussed.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be restored or retained — for example because of extensive decay, a fracture below the gum, severe periodontal (gum) disease, or persistent infection. At Stomatologia na Malarzy a straightforward extraction is carried out under local anaesthesia so the area is fully numb, and the dentist loosens and removes the tooth as atraumatically as possible to protect the surrounding bone and gum. Removing a remaining molar root or a tooth that breaks during removal is more involved and is priced accordingly. After the tooth is out, the dentist gives detailed aftercare instructions to help the socket heal and to reduce the risk of complications such as a dry socket, and sutures are placed where needed. The clinic can prepare platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) from a small sample of your own blood and place it in the socket to support healing — a useful option after more difficult extractions. Because losing a tooth leaves a gap that can affect chewing, the position of neighbouring teeth and, over time, the bone in the area, the dentist will discuss replacement options such as a dental implant, a bridge or a denture and help you plan the timing if you wish to replace the tooth. Where a tooth might be saved by root canal treatment or other care instead, that alternative is explained so you can make an informed choice before proceeding.
