Simple Tooth ExtractionLocal anesthesia · quick procedure
Removal of a visible, unsalvageable tooth under anesthesia. The procedure usually takes just a few minutes; a post-extraction care plan is provided in the same session.

What is extraction and surgery
What is tooth extraction and oral surgery?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved due to decay, fracture, or gum disease, in order to protect overall oral health. Oral surgery covers situations that require a surgical approach, such as impacted teeth, periapical abscesses, and cysts.
At ÖzbuDent, our priority is always to preserve the tooth; extraction is only planned when conservative options such as fillings and root canal treatment have been exhausted. A digital X-ray assessment is performed before any decision, and how the gap will be replaced (dental implant, denture) is planned together with you.
When is tooth extraction necessary?
Extraction is necessary for teeth that are too damaged to be saved with a filling or root canal treatment, for teeth that are severely loosened due to advanced gum disease, and for teeth causing crowding.
What is the difference between a simple extraction and a surgical extraction?
A simple extraction involves removing a visible tooth under local anesthesia and takes just a few minutes. A surgical extraction requires a small gum incision for impacted or fractured teeth; it is also performed under anesthesia and is pain-free.
Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?
These last teeth to erupt often have no room and remain impacted, which can put pressure on adjacent teeth and lead to pain, decay, and infection. Wisdom teeth that are causing — or are expected to cause — problems are removed surgically.
Why ÖzbuDent
The ÖzbuDent difference in extraction and surgery
Surgical procedures require trust. Our experienced team and clinical infrastructure make the process as comfortable as possible for you.
Pain-free procedure comfort
All extractions and surgical procedures are performed under effective local anesthesia; additional comfort options for patients with dental anxiety are planned during the examination.
Experienced surgical team
Impacted tooth and surgical cases are handled by dentists experienced in this field; cross-branch referrals are made for complex cases.
Late-night service every day
Our clinics are open until late every day; same-day intervention is provided for urgent situations such as unbearable pain and swelling.
Digital imaging and sterile environment
Before the procedure, root anatomy and nerve proximity are assessed with digital X-rays; all procedures are carried out under sterile conditions.
When is it applied
When is tooth extraction or oral surgery recommended?
Making the right extraction or surgical decision both resolves the current problem and protects neighboring teeth and the jawbone. The most common situations:
Unsalvageable decay or fractured tooth
When decay or fractures extend to the root level and fillings or root canal treatment are insufficient, the tooth is extracted; a dental implant or denture is then planned to replace the gap.
Fully or partially impacted wisdom tooth
Wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling, decay in adjacent teeth, or pressure are removed through a surgical procedure; impacted wisdom teeth that appear problem-free are also monitored with X-rays.
Abscess, cyst, and periapical infection
In recurrent infections, the source is surgically cleaned; in appropriate cases, the tooth can be preserved with apicoectomy rather than extraction.
Space requirement before orthodontic treatment
When space is needed for teeth to align properly during braces or clear aligner treatment, selected teeth may be extracted according to the orthodontist's plan.
Procedures we perform
Our extraction and surgical procedures
From simple extraction to advanced surgery, all procedures are planned and performed at our clinics.
Impacted Wisdom Tooth SurgerySurgical extraction
Removal of wisdom teeth that remain beneath the bone or gum through a small surgical incision. Nerve proximity is assessed with digital X-rays for safe planning.
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)Tooth-preserving surgery
For periapical infections that persist despite root canal treatment, the infected tissue is removed together with the root tip — the goal is to preserve the tooth without extraction.
Abscess and Cyst TreatmentInfection intervention
Cysts within the jaw and tooth-related abscesses are surgically cleared; when necessary, treatment is supported with medication and followed up closely.
Treatment process
How does tooth extraction and oral surgery proceed?
A controlled and comfortable four-step process, from examination through recovery follow-up.
Examination and X-ray
The tooth's condition is assessed through a clinical examination and digital X-ray; root structure and nerve proximity are evaluated.
Planning and anesthesia
The scope of the procedure and next steps (implant/denture needs) are planned; the area is fully numbed with local anesthesia.
Extraction or surgical procedure
The tooth is removed using tissue-respecting techniques; sutures are placed if needed in surgical cases and aftercare instructions are provided.
Recovery and follow-up
Healing is monitored, any sutures are removed, and the treatment plan to replace the extraction gap is finalized.
After extraction
What should you watch out for after a tooth extraction?
Simple rules in the first few days make a big difference for a comfortable recovery and clot protection.
First hours: gauze pad and blood clot
Bite down on the gauze pad for the recommended duration; avoid spitting, drinking through a straw, and any suction movements over the area — the clot is the key to healing.
Cold compress for swelling
After surgical procedures, apply intermittent cold compresses to the outside of the face on the first day; this minimizes potential swelling and bruising.
Diet and oral hygiene
Choose warm, soft foods on the first day and avoid very hot items. Continue brushing your teeth while protecting the extraction site.
Avoid smoking
Smoking and alcohol dissolve the blood clot and delay healing; they should be avoided for the period your dentist recommends. Take any prescribed medications regularly.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about tooth extraction and oral surgery
Is tooth extraction painful?
No. The area is completely numbed with local anesthesia before the extraction; you will not feel pain during the procedure — only mild pressure. Any sensitivity after the anesthesia wears off is easily managed with the pain relievers your dentist recommends.
Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that have erupted properly, can be cleaned, and cause no problems can remain in the mouth. Wisdom teeth that are impacted, cause pain, press on adjacent teeth, or develop decay are recommended for removal; the decision is made after an examination and X-ray.
How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?
After a simple extraction, pain and sensitivity typically subside within a few days, and the socket closes within a few weeks. After wisdom tooth surgery, swelling and mild discomfort may last 3–4 days; full bone healing takes several months.
Can I eat after an extraction?
Once the anesthesia wears off, you may eat warm, soft foods. On the first day, avoid very hot, hard, or crunchy foods and chew on the opposite side from the extraction site.
What is done to replace the extracted tooth?
If the gap is left untreated, neighboring teeth may shift and the jawbone begins to resorb. After healing, the gap is filled with a dental implant, bridge, or denture. In suitable cases, an implant can even be planned in the same session as the extraction.
How much does tooth extraction and oral surgery cost?
The cost varies depending on the type of procedure (simple extraction, impacted wisdom tooth surgery, apicoectomy) and the complexity of the case — pricing is personalized. For an accurate quote, we recommend booking an examination appointment.
Don't wait out the pain.
Do you need an extraction, or can the tooth be saved? Let's decide together with an examination and digital X-ray. Our clinics are at your service every day until late at night.
