A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. A simple extraction loosens and lifts out a visible tooth; a surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is broken at the gum, has curved roots or is buried.
Removing a tooth ends pain and infection from a tooth that cannot be saved. The limit is what comes after: the gap lets neighbouring teeth drift and the bone shrinks, so it is wise to discuss replacement before the tooth comes out.
What Dental Extraction involves
An X-ray shows root shape and the position of nearby nerves and the sinus. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic. For a simple extraction the dentist widens the socket with an instrument called an elevator and then rotates the tooth out with forceps. For a surgical extraction a small gum flap is raised, a little bone may be removed and the tooth is often cut into sections so that each root comes out separately with less force. The socket is cleaned, sometimes filled with graft material if an implant is planned, and stitched if needed. You bite on gauze for 20 to 30 minutes to form a clot.
Who is a good candidate for Dental Extraction?
Extraction is the choice when a tooth cannot be restored or when keeping it would harm your health or other teeth.
- A tooth too decayed or fractured to rebuild, including vertical root fractures
- A tooth with advanced gum disease and severe looseness
- A failed root canal where retreatment or surgery is not feasible
- Teeth removed to create space as part of an orthodontic plan
- Teeth that must be cleared before radiotherapy, transplant or certain heart procedures
Es ist normalerweise nicht die richtige Wahl, wenn:
- Teeth that can be saved by a filling, crown or root canal treatment, which is usually preferable
- People on blood thinners who have not discussed management with their doctor and dentist
- People who have received intravenous bisphosphonates or jaw radiotherapy, unless planned with a specialist
- Anyone with an acute uncontrolled medical problem, where the extraction should wait
- People with severe spreading infection, who may need hospital care first
Technikoptionen
- Simple extraction: Elevator and forceps for a fully erupted tooth with intact crown.
- Surgical extraction: Gum flap, bone removal and tooth sectioning for broken or impacted teeth.
- Atraumatic extraction: Fine instruments called periotomes preserve the socket walls when an immediate implant is planned.
- Socket preservation: Graft placed at the same visit to limit bone shrinkage.
Was passiert während Ihrer Behandlung
A simple extraction takes 5 to 20 minutes and a surgical one 20 to 45 minutes. With local anaesthetic you feel firm pressure and hear cracking sounds but should feel no sharp pain; say so if you do. Sedation is available for anxious patients or multiple extractions.
Vorbereitung auf Ihre Reise
Plan for 2 to 4 days, usually part of a larger plan in Istanbul. Your surgeon reviews photographs and your medical history before you book, and you meet in person the day before surgery for examination, marking and consent with a professional interpreter.
- Stoppen Sie das Rauchen und Nikotin mindestens vier Wochen vor und nach der Operation; es ist die größte vermeidbare Ursache von Wundproblemen
- Erzählen Sie dem Team von allen Medikamenten und Ergänzungen, die Sie einnehmen; Blutverdünner, einige Kräuterprodukte und Hormonbehandlungen müssen möglicherweise auf Anraten Ihres Arztes unterbrochen werden
- Vereinbaren Sie, dass jemand mit Ihnen reist oder erreichbar ist, und halten Sie die ersten Tage zu Hause frei von Arbeit und Heben
- Buchen Sie einen veränderlichen Rückflug; Ihr Chirurg bestätigt, wenn Sie fit sind
Genesung und Ergebnisse
Keep the gauze pressure on, then leave the clot alone: no rinsing, spitting, straws, smoking or alcohol for 24 hours. From day 2 rinse gently with warm salt water after meals. Soreness and mild swelling last 2 to 4 days, up to a week after surgical removal. The gum closes over in 2 to 3 weeks and bone fills the socket over several months. Pain that worsens around day 3 suggests a dry socket and needs a dressing.
- Zurück zur alltäglichen Aktivität: 1 bis 3 Tage
- When results show: Gum heals in 2 to 3 weeks
- Wie lange sie dauern: Dauerhaft
Sicherheit, Risiken und Revisionspolitik
Extractions are among the commonest dental operations and most heal uneventfully.
- Dry socket, where the clot is lost and the bone is exposed, causing severe aching for a week or so
- Prolonged bleeding
- Infection of the socket
- A root tip fracturing and being left or needing surgical removal
- An opening into the sinus after upper molar removal
- Numbness of the lip, chin or tongue after lower back teeth, usually temporary
- Damage to a neighbouring tooth or filling

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Can I fly after an extraction?
Generally yes after 24 to 48 hours once bleeding has stopped. After upper molar surgery with a sinus opening, ask your dentist first.
How soon can the tooth be replaced?
Sometimes an implant goes in the same day. More often the socket heals for 8 to 12 weeks first. A temporary denture can fill a visible gap.
What is a dry socket and how do I avoid it?
It is loss of the blood clot. Not smoking, not rinsing in the first day and avoiding straws lower the risk. It is more common in lower back teeth.
Is it better to extract than to have a root canal?
Keeping your own tooth is normally better for chewing and bone if it can be restored predictably.
