Complex Tooth Extraction in Chișinău

We carry out complex tooth extraction, a surgical procedure, when a standard extraction is not possible because of the position, the condition or the severe destruction of the tooth.

We assess all the risks in advance, explain the plan of the intervention and remove the tooth as gently as possible, controlling every stage.

What is complex tooth extraction

A complex extraction is not a special kind of tooth but a situation in which an ordinary extraction is not possible.

This can be because:
• the roots are positioned atypically or are strongly curved
• the tooth is badly destroyed and too little of the crown is left to grip with forceps
• the tooth is broken below the gum line
• there is chronic inflammation around the roots
• the tooth lies partly in the bone and has not fully erupted

The doctor determines the exact complexity and the scope of the intervention during the examination and explains it before the procedure starts.

Stages of complex tooth extraction

1
Examination and explanation

The doctor assesses the tooth, the position of the roots and the condition of the bone and surrounding tissue.
You understand why a complex extraction is needed, how the procedure will go, how long it will take and what comes after.

2
Anaesthesia

We use local anaesthesia, and the drug and dose are matched to how sensitive you are and how difficult the removal is.
The procedure is painless, and you may feel only pressure.

3
Tooth removal

The tooth is removed in stages, taking into account the number and position of the roots.
The doctor works as carefully as possible to minimise trauma and to ensure normal healing.

4
Control and recommendations

After the extraction the doctor treats the socket and explains in detail which sensations are normal in the first hours and days.
You receive clear instructions on care and recovery.

How long the procedure takes

In most cases the procedure takes 40-90 minutes including preparation.

The duration depends on the number of roots and their position, and the doctor warns you about it in advance.

Afterwards you can go back to your normal day, keeping to the doctor's advice on eating and physical exertion.

What happens if a problem tooth is not removed

1
The pain may get stronger and become constant
2
Inflammation may spread to the gum and the neighbouring teeth
3
The risk of swelling and complications rises
4
The longer you wait, the more complex and costly treatment can become
A tooth removed on schedule now may, if left, call for a more serious operation later.

Frequently asked questions about complex tooth extraction

Does complex tooth extraction hurt?

No. The procedure is done with anaesthesia, so there is no pain. You may feel only pressure or movement.

How is complex extraction different from an ordinary one?

Complex extraction is needed when a tooth cannot be removed in the standard way because of its destruction, the position of the roots or its location in the bone.

Is the gum always cut during complex extraction?

Not always. In some cases the tooth can be removed without a cut. If extra stages are needed, the doctor explains this in advance.

How long does healing take after complex extraction?

The wound usually begins to close within several days, while the tissue can take a few more weeks to recover fully.

Are stitches needed after complex extraction?

Sometimes yes. Stitches are placed if this improves healing and lowers the risk of complications. The doctor explains when and how they are removed.

When can I plan an implant after complex extraction?

The timing depends on the condition of the bone and on how the tissue heals. The doctor decides the best moment individually after an examination.

A difficult tooth is no reason to put up with pain.
