Wisdom Tooth & Surgical Extraction

Surgical removal of a wisdom tooth or another impacted or difficult tooth that cannot be taken out by simple extraction. Performed under local anaesthesia, it may involve releasing the gum and sectioning the tooth to remove it gently. Pricing reflects how deeply the tooth is impacted and how complex the surgery is. Platelet-rich fibrin can be used to support healing, and the dentist gives detailed aftercare advice.

Wisdom teeth (third molars) often lack room to erupt properly and can become impacted — stuck against the tooth in front, angled, or partly covered by gum — which may lead to pain, repeated infection, decay or crowding. When such a tooth needs to be removed, or when any tooth is broken down or positioned so that a simple extraction is not possible, a surgical extraction is carried out. At Stomatologia na Malarzy the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia: the dentist may need to ease back the gum and, where appropriate, divide the tooth into sections so it can be removed with as little disturbance to the surrounding bone as possible. Treatment is planned with imaging, and CBCT is used where the tooth lies close to important structures so the surgery can be approached safely. The price range reflects the difficulty of the case — a partially erupted wisdom tooth is more straightforward than one that is fully impacted within the bone. Afterwards the dentist places sutures if needed and provides thorough aftercare instructions covering swelling, bleeding and how to keep the area clean while it heals, as well as advice on managing discomfort. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) prepared from the patient's own blood can be placed in the socket to support healing and is a popular option after more demanding extractions. Some swelling and soreness for a few days is normal, and the clinic explains what to expect and when to seek review. Removing a problematic wisdom or impacted tooth is associated with relieving pain and reducing the risk of recurrent infection and damage to neighbouring teeth, and suitability and the likely complexity are assessed before surgery.
