Tooth extraction and wisdom teeth

A tooth is removed when it is damaged beyond repair, infected or in the wrong position, and wisdom teeth are removed when they cause problems. At Primadent tooth extraction costs from 90 € and is done under local anaesthesia.

  • From 90 € tooth extraction
  • Local anaesthesia for the extraction
  • No waiting lists at our clinics

When it is needed

Why a tooth is removed

Extraction means removing a tooth from its socket. It is done when:

  • a tooth is damaged beyond repair by decay or a fracture and cannot be saved with a crown
  • advanced gum disease has made a tooth unstable
  • a tooth – often a wisdom tooth – grows in the wrong direction or presses on neighbouring teeth
  • space is needed before orthodontic treatment

Before every extraction we first examine you and check whether extraction is the best solution or whether the tooth can be treated in another way.

The procedure

How an extraction proceeds

How the tooth is removed depends on its position and on the number and shape of its roots.

  1. Examination

    We examine you and check whether extraction is the best solution or whether the tooth can be treated in another way.

  2. Local anaesthesia

    The extraction is carried out under local anaesthesia.

  3. Removing the tooth

    The dentist loosens the gum from the neck of the tooth with a special instrument and removes the tooth, in one piece or in parts.

  4. Caring for the wound

    Any inflamed tissue in the bone around the root is removed and the wound is covered with sterile gauze, which you bite on to stop the bleeding. Larger wounds, for example after several extractions, are stitched.

Wisdom teeth

Wisdom tooth removal

Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of each jaw. In some people they never develop or cause no problems; in others they become stuck under the gum, grow at the wrong angle and press on neighbouring teeth, or are hard to clean.

Removing a wisdom tooth is a surgical procedure carried out by an oral surgeon or a trained dentist: an X-ray is taken first to assess the position of the tooth, the gum is opened, bone is removed if necessary, the tooth is taken out whole or in parts, and the wound is cleaned and stitched. Whether removal is necessary is decided case by case.

Aftercare

After the extraction

Some swelling and pain in the first days are normal.

  • Keep the gauze pressed on the wound for about half an hour.
  • For the first few days eat soft, cool food and drink cool liquids, but not through a straw.
  • Do not touch or rinse the wound straight after the procedure.
  • Avoid smoking, alcohol and heavy physical activity for the first days.
  • Your dentist will tell you how to ease any pain.

If severe pain lasts more than three days, or you notice bleeding, inflammation or a raised temperature, contact us.
