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.
When surgical tooth extraction is needed
When other treatment is possible
- If the tooth can still be saved, the doctor will offer treatment instead of extraction (for example, caries treatment or root canal treatment).
- If the tooth can be removed in the standard way, it is done without cutting the gum and without extra surgical stages.
What you get
Cost of complex tooth extraction
The final cost depends on:
- the scope of the intervention
- the condition of the tooth
- whether extra surgical stages are needed
Stages of complex tooth extraction
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.
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.
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.
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.
