Tooth extraction is considered when the tooth cannot be preserved or when removal is required as part of a treatment plan.
The tooth is significantly damaged and can no longer be restored reliably.
When the problem cannot be successfully treated using other dental treatment methods.
A fracture or other damage that makes it impossible to preserve the tooth.
Pain, recurring inflammation or other problems associated with a wisdom tooth.
In certain cases, extraction may form part of an orthodontic treatment plan.
The decision is always made individually following an examination and the necessary diagnostics.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. Extraction may be necessary if the tooth causes problems or poses a risk to surrounding tissues or neighbouring teeth. The decision is made after an examination and diagnostics.
The dentist examines the tooth and, if necessary, recommends an X-ray or 3D examination.
Before the procedure, the treatment area is numbed using local anaesthesia.
The tooth is removed using the method most appropriate for the individual clinical situation.
After extraction, the area is treated and, if necessary, sutures are placed.
Tooth extraction is performed under local anaesthesia to numb the treatment area. For particularly anxious patients or in certain clinical situations, sedation options can also be discussed.
Follow your dentist's individual instructions and take care not to disturb the extraction site.
Avoid vigorous rinsing and do not touch the extraction site, as this may disturb the blood clot.
Choose soft foods and avoid very hot food and drinks while the anaesthetic is still working.
Brush the rest of your teeth as usual, while cleaning the area around the extraction site very carefully.
Avoid strenuous physical activity on the day of the procedure.
The exact cost depends on the tooth and the individual clinical situation.
