Tooth extraction
When a tooth can no longer be reliably treated or saved, extraction may be necessary to protect the health of the surrounding tissue and plan further steps.
CANDIDATES
When is tooth extraction necessary?
The goal is to preserve the natural tooth whenever realistic conditions for it exist. Extraction is considered when treatment can no longer provide a reliable prognosis or when the tooth represents a source of problems for the surrounding tissues.
Extraction may be necessary if:
Extraction may be necessary if:
-
if the tooth is severely damaged by caries or trauma
-
there is a crack or fracture that prevents stable reconstruction
-
The inflammation around the root cannot be resolved by another procedure.
-
The tooth is extremely loose due to the loss of supporting tissue.
-
A tooth is interfering with planned orthodontic or prosthetic therapy.
-
it is about a residual root that no longer has functional value
-
other forms of treatment do not have a favorable prognosis
What is a tooth extraction?
Extraction is the procedure of removing a tooth from the jaw. Depending on the position, condition of the crown and root, and the surrounding bone, the extraction can be simple or require a surgical approach.
Prior to the procedure, we evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures and use radiological diagnostics as needed.
If the extracted tooth is to be replaced later with an implant, bridge, or other prosthetic solution, it is useful to consider the options as early as the tooth extraction planning stage.

What after tooth extraction?
Tooth loss does not always require an immediate replacement, but its absence can over time affect the position of adjacent teeth, the bite, and the amount of bone.
If a tooth needs to be replaced, an implant, a dental bridge, or another prosthetic solution can be considered after extraction.
The most appropriate moment to continue therapy depends on the reason for the extraction, the condition of the bone, the healing process, and the planned final restoration.

DC360 PROCESS
What does a tooth extraction look like?
01
Review and diagnostics
We evaluate the condition of the teeth, roots, and surrounding tissue, and analyze the X-ray if necessary.
02
Procedure planning
We explain whether it is a simple or surgical extraction and what you can expect.
03
Local anesthesia
The area is numbed to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
04
Tooth extraction
The tooth is carefully removed using an approach tailored to its position and condition.
05
Disposal and instructions
The area is examined, and stitches are applied if necessary. You receive clear instructions for the first days after the procedure and a follow-up appointment if required.

PRICE
What affects the price of tooth extraction?
The price depends on the position and condition of the tooth, as well as whether the procedure requires a simple or surgical extraction.
After the examination, we will explain the recommended procedure and expected costs to you.

The procedure is most commonly performed under local anesthesia. After it wears off, pain, tenderness, or swelling may occur, the intensity of which depends on the extent of the procedure.
Initial healing takes a few days, while complete tissue restoration takes longer. The course depends on the type of extraction and individual healing.
After the procedure, you will receive specific instructions. It is especially important not to disturb the blood clot that forms in the wound and to follow the recommendations for diet, hygiene, and physical activity.
Timing and food choices depend on the procedure and anesthesia. Initially, softer foods and avoiding chewing on the treated side are usually recommended.
An implant can be placed immediately in some cases, while in others it is necessary to wait for healing. The decision depends on the condition of the bone, the presence of inflammation, and other clinical conditions.
Not necessarily. The need depends on the tooth position, bite, and overall dental condition.
Dry socket is a healing complication where the blood clot in the socket does not form or remain properly. It can cause significant pain and requires a doctor's examination.
If severe or increasing pain, heavy bleeding, fever, significant swelling, or other concerning symptoms occur, it is necessary to contact the clinic.
