At IJssel Dental, we strive to keep your teeth as healthy as possible. However, sometimes it is necessary to remove a tooth or molar to prevent future problems. Surgical extractions are procedures in which a tooth or molar that is difficult to remove, such as wisdom teeth, is removed with an operation. Our experienced team ensures that this process is as comfortable and safe as possible.
A surgical extraction is a procedure in which a tooth that cannot be pulled out in the usual way is removed through a minor operation. This may be necessary if a tooth is broken, has not fully emerged through the gums (such as a wisdom tooth), or is too close to other structures.
A surgical extraction may be necessary to prevent pain, infection, or further complications. Removing problematic teeth helps maintain your overall oral health and can prevent future serious procedures.
We understand that a visit to the dentist can sometimes raise questions and concerns, so we have put together this section to provide you with clear and concise answers to the most common questions.
If your question is not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is always ready to help you.
A surgical extraction is necessary when a tooth cannot be removed in the usual way. This can be the case, for example, with wisdom teeth that are stuck under the gums or with teeth that have broken off.
During a surgical extraction, the area around the tooth is first numbed so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. The dentist or oral surgeon then makes a small incision in the gums to remove the tooth. Sometimes the tooth has to be removed in parts to facilitate the procedure.
After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and discomfort. This is normal and can usually be managed with painkillers and cold compresses. We will provide you with extensive aftercare instructions to help your recovery go as smoothly as possible. Most people recover within a few days to a week.
The cost of a surgical extraction varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and which tooth or molar needs to be removed. During your consultation, we will discuss the costs and the possibilities for reimbursement through your health insurance. We also offer options for payment in installments.
Thanks to local anesthesia, you will not feel any pain during the procedure itself. After the treatment, you may experience some discomfort, but this can be managed well with prescribed painkillers. Our team will do everything they can to ensure that you experience as little discomfort as possible.
The recovery process varies from person to person, but most people feel better within a few days. It is important to follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding hard foods and using prescribed mouthwashes, to prevent complications.
Before the procedure, we will give you clear instructions, such as avoiding food and drink before the operation if you are going to have general anesthesia. Wear comfortable clothing and make sure you have someone to drive you home after the procedure, as you will not be allowed to drive yourself due to the anesthesia.
