Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Chișinău

We carry out wisdom tooth extraction when there is a medical reason: the wisdom tooth causes inflammation or pain, damages the surrounding tissue or, because of its position, creates a risk of infection or an abscess.

Before the procedure the doctor assesses the position of the tooth and its roots on an X-ray, and the condition of the surrounding tissue and the neighbouring tooth. Then the doctor explains whether removal is necessary and how it will be done.

Wisdom teeth removal in brief

Our wisdom teeth removal costs from 1,000 MDL: 1,000 MDL for a simple extraction and 1,800 MDL for a complex (atypical) one. The procedure is done with anaesthesia and takes 30-60 minutes including preparation. The extraction is performed by our surgeons Roman Casian and Vladislav Casian. If the tooth is in the right position, does not become inflamed and can be cleaned well, it does not have to be removed, and the doctor will suggest monitoring it.

Cost of wisdom tooth extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction is priced by complexity. If the X-ray shows an unusual position of the tooth or difficult access, the doctor explains this before the procedure and agrees the scope of the intervention in advance. For new patients the consultation, diagnostics and treatment plan at the first appointment are free.

What is a wisdom tooth

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth in the row. They erupt last and often do not have enough room in the jaw.
Because of this, a wisdom tooth may:

• erupt only partly
• grow at an angle
• stay in the bone
• be hard to reach for cleaning

Even without severe pain, such teeth can become a source of inflammation and problems in the future.

When wisdom teeth removal is needed

1
The gum behind the last tooth hurts or becomes inflamed
4
It is hard to open your mouth wide
2
A bad smell or taste appears around the tooth
5
Food keeps getting stuck behind the last tooth
3
The pain spreads to the ear, temple or jaw
6
The wisdom tooth has erupted only partly or is growing crooked

Is removal always necessary

No. If the wisdom tooth has fully erupted, is positioned correctly, takes part in chewing, does not damage the neighbouring tooth and can be cleaned properly, the doctor may recommend monitoring.
The decision on wisdom tooth extraction is made after an examination and diagnostics. It matters to take into account not only whether there is pain, but also the position of the tooth, the condition of the surrounding tissue and the risk of complications.

When removal is the better option

If the tooth is impacted (stuck in the bone), keeps getting inflamed or damages the next tooth, removal is the way to avoid repeated inflammation and complications.

What you gain from removal

1
The source of constant inflammation disappears
2
The risk of repeated flare-ups goes down
3
The neighbouring teeth are protected
4
The likelihood of complications falls
5
Orthodontic or other treatment can be planned safely

Stages of wisdom tooth extraction

1
Examination and planning

The doctor assesses the position of the tooth, takes an X-ray and explains how the removal will go, how long it will take and what to expect afterwards.

2
Anaesthesia

Anaesthesia is chosen according to your sensitivity and the complexity of the procedure. The procedure is painless.

3
Tooth removal

The tooth is removed carefully and in stages, with minimal trauma to the tissue.

4
Control and recommendations

The doctor treats the socket, controls the bleeding and explains in detail how to care for the area so that it heals properly.

How long wisdom teeth removal takes

On average the procedure takes 30-60 minutes including preparation.
The duration depends on the position of the tooth and the difficulty of access.

After wisdom tooth extraction you can return to your usual routine, following the doctor's recommendations on food and physical activity.

What happens if a tooth that should be removed is left in place

1
Inflammation can keep coming back
2
The neighbouring tooth may suffer
3
The risk of infection or an abscess rises
4
Treatment can become more complex and more expensive over time
What can be solved on a planned basis today may later need a more serious surgical intervention.

Frequently asked questions about wisdom tooth extraction

Do I need wisdom teeth removal if the tooth does not hurt?

Not always. We remove it when it is impacted, keeps getting inflamed or damages the next tooth. If the tooth creates risks or is hard to clean, the doctor may recommend a planned removal.

Do all wisdom teeth have to be removed?

No. The decision is made individually after an examination and an X-ray.

Does wisdom tooth extraction hurt?

No. The procedure is done with anaesthesia. You may feel only pressure, without sharp pain.

Will there be a lot of swelling after the removal?

Slight swelling after wisdom tooth extraction is possible and is a normal reaction. The doctor explains how to reduce it.

How long does the socket take to heal after the extraction?

Initial healing takes a few days. Full recovery of the tissue takes a few weeks.

When can I plan other treatment after the removal?

The timing depends on healing. The doctor decides this individually at a follow-up examination.
