Tooth extractions in Valencia

Extraction removes a tooth that cannot or should not be retained. Reasons include severe decay, fracture, infection, gum disease or problematic wisdom teeth.

Alternatives, risks and replacement options should be discussed where relevant.

Simple and surgical extraction

An accessible tooth may be removed simply. Surgical extraction can require an incision or removal of a small amount of bone. Local anaesthesia is normally used.

Before and after treatment

• Tell the clinic about all medicines, especially anticoagulants
• Avoid smoking and vigorous rinsing initially
• Contact the clinic for persistent bleeding, fever or worsening swelling

Cost

Surgical complexity, imaging and follow-up affect cost. Ask whether review and suture removal are included.
