What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While we always try to save a natural tooth, extraction is sometimes the only necessary option to maintain your overall oral health.

Common reasons for an extraction include:

  • Severe Decay: The tooth is too damaged by a cavity to be saved by a filling or root canal.
  • Infection: An abscess or severe gum disease has compromised the tooth and surrounding bone.
  • Trauma: The tooth is severely broken or fractured from an injury.
  • Crowding (Orthodontics): To create space for other teeth to align properly with braces.
  • Impacted Teeth: A tooth (most commonly a wisdom tooth) is trapped under the gum and cannot erupt.

 

Types of Tooth Extraction: Simple vs. Surgical

There are two main types of extractions, and the one you need depends on the tooth's condition and visibility.

Simple Tooth Extraction:

This is performed on a tooth that is fully visible above the gumline. It is a straightforward procedure where the dentist uses instruments called an elevator (to loosen the tooth) and forceps (to remove it). It is done quickly under local anaesthesia.

Surgical Tooth Extraction:

This is a more complex procedure required when a tooth is not easily accessible. This includes teeth that are broken off at the gumline or impacted (stuck beneath the gum). An oral surgeon will make a small incision in the gum to access the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal, or a small amount of bone may be removed. This is also done under local anaesthesia, but IV sedation is available for anxious patients.

 

The Tooth Extraction Procedure in Turkey: Step-by-Step

We ensure your experience is comfortable and anxiety-free from start to finish.

  1. Consultation and 3D X-Ray

    We take a high-definition X-ray (CBCT scan) to see the tooth's roots, check for infection, and determine the exact position of impacted teeth.

  2. Anaesthesia

    We completely numb the area with a strong local anaesthetic. You will feel no pain, only slight pressure. We also offer sedation options for your comfort.

  3. The Extraction

    • For a simple extraction, the surgeon gently loosens and removes the tooth.
    • For a surgical extraction, the surgeon makes a precise incision, removes the tooth, and then cleans the area.
  4. Stitches

    If an incision was made, dissolvable stitches are placed, which will disappear on their own as you heal.

  5. Recovery

    You will be given a gauze pad to bite on to help form a blood clot, and we will provide you with all your aftercare instructions and medication.

 

Wisdom Tooth Removal in Turkey

Wisdom tooth removal is the most common type of surgical extraction. Wisdom teeth (or "third molars") are the last to erupt and often cause problems because there isn't enough space for them. This can lead to them becoming impacted, growing in sideways, or causing pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth. We specialize in removing problematic wisdom teeth safely and comfortably, and the cost in Turkey is exceptionally low.

 

Tooth Extraction Aftercare: Preventing Dry Socket

Successful healing depends on your tooth extraction aftercare. The most important goal is to protect the blood clot that forms in the socket, as it acts as a natural bandage.

A dislodged blood clot leads to a painful condition called dry socket, where the bone and nerves are exposed.

To prevent dry socket and ensure proper healing:

  • DO NOT smoke for at least 72 hours.
  • DO NOT drink through a straw. The suction can pull the clot out.
  • DO NOT spit forcefully or rinse your mouth aggressively.
  • DO eat soft foods (yogurt, soup, smoothies) for the first few days.
  • DO gently rinse with warm salt water after the first 24 hours.
  • DO rest and avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 days.

 

Extraction for Dental Implants: The First Step

A tooth extraction is often the first step in a full smile restoration. If you plan to get a dental implant, the extraction site is critical.

In some cases, we can perform an immediate implant placement at the same time as the extraction. In other cases, we may place a bone graft into the empty socket during the extraction. This preserves the jawbone's height and width, creating a perfect, strong foundation for a future implant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is a tooth extraction painful?

No. The procedure itself is completely pain-free. You are fully numbed with local anaesthesia. You will feel pressure, but no pain. We also offer sedation. Afterwards, you will have manageable soreness for a few days, which is easily controlled with the painkillers we provide.

 

2. How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Turkey?

The wisdom tooth removal cost in Turkey is significantly lower than in the UK or USA. While a single surgical removal can cost over £500 in the UK, our prices are typically 80-90% less, making it highly affordable.

 

3. What is a dry socket?

A dry socket is a painful complication that occurs if the blood clot in the extraction site is dislodged (by smoking, using a straw, or spitting). This exposes the bone and nerves. It is easily preventable by following all of our aftercare instructions.

 

4. How long do I need to stay in Turkey for an extraction?

For a simple extraction, you can often fly home the next day. For a complex surgical extraction (like impacted wisdom teeth), we recommend staying for 3 to 5 days so we can monitor your initial healing.

 

5. Can I get a dental implant at the same time as my extraction?

Sometimes. This is called "immediate implant placement" and is possible if there is no active infection and sufficient bone. If not, we will often place a bone graft during the extraction to prepare the site for an implant in a few months.

Professional Photography

In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.

 

Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.

5D Scanning

5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.

 

Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.

Use of Special Dental Burs

Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.

 

Why is it important? The use of special dental burs for accurate and minimally invasive preparation maximizes the preservation of tooth structure and improves aesthetic outcomes.

Quality and Technological Laboratory Infrastructure

Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

 

Why is it important? Laboratories with quality and technological infrastructure ensure that restorations are produced with perfect fit and aesthetics. This helps patients achieve long-lasting and natural-looking results. Minimal prep technology, with the integration of these components, provides highly aesthetic and functional restorations while preserving the natural structure of the teeth. These methods increase patient satisfaction and make treatment processes more efficient.

    Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.

    Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!
