Tooth extraction

Extraction is the procedure of removing a tooth from its socket - when the tooth cannot be saved by treatment.

When a tooth needs to be extracted

Extraction is always the last resort - whenever possible, we first try to treat and save the tooth. Extraction is needed for deeply decayed or broken teeth that cannot be restored.

Tooth extraction is also among the services we provide through the Health Insurance Fund.

After the extraction

After the procedure you receive advice on caring for the area so it heals quickly and calmly.

The extracted tooth can later be replaced with a crown, bridge or denture - see our prosthetics page.

Frequently asked questions

Does tooth extraction hurt?

The procedure itself is performed painlessly. Our motto is “Modern dentistry - painless treatment”.

Does a painful tooth always have to be extracted?

Not always. Many teeth can be saved with root canal treatment. The decision is made after an examination.

How can an extracted tooth be replaced?

With a crown on a bridge or with a denture, depending on the situation. At Cipident we make metal and metal-free crowns and bridges, as well as all types of dentures.
