Tooth extraction in Tbilisi
Trust Richter for surgical tooth extraction in Tbilisi, including wisdom teeth removal services. Your comfort is at Dental Clinic Tbilisi!
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure designed to remove one or more teeth from their sockets, performed by experienced dentists at our Dental Clinic in Tbilisi. Our priority is to ensure the comfort and safety of patients throughout the process.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction becomes necessary in specific cases due to irreparable damage, tooth crowding, or other compelling reasons. Before proceeding with tooth extraction, our dentist conducts a thorough examination to determine the necessity, as this procedure is only undertaken when no other viable options exist.
Tooth extraction is typically required for patients who:
- Have a damaged tooth requiring the removal of pus-filled content.
- Experience pain, mouth infection, and a threat to surrounding teeth due to a damaged wisdom tooth.
- Encounter dental misalignment due to problematic wisdom teeth.
- Have damaged teeth due to complicated gingivitis.
- The primary goals of dental extraction include relieving pain, preventing infection spread, and adjusting dentition. Richter Clinic offers tooth extraction services for adults and children, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable environment for young patients through unique methods employed by our dentists.
In pediatric dentistry, the dentist must use specialized techniques to create a comfortable and fun environment for children, which distinguishes our pediatric dentist as the best.
How is Dental Extraction Performed?
- Consultation: During the dental consultation, the dentist evaluates the patient’s dental condition and determines the necessity for tooth extraction or explores alternative solutions such as tooth filling or treating gum disease.
- Preparation for the Procedure: After confirming the need for tooth extraction, the dentist explains the procedure details, introduces the process, and advises the patient.
- Tooth Extraction: The process varies depending on the tooth’s condition. Simple extractions are performed for fully erupted teeth, while more complex cases involving damaged or hard-to-reach teeth may require surgical intervention.
- Aftercare: Richter’s dentist provides post-procedure recommendations to minimise discomfort, swelling, and bleeding during the tooth extraction healing period.
FAQs:
How long does it take to extract a tooth?
The duration varies based on individual circumstances and complexity. Some patients may require a single visit, while others need more time.
How painful is tooth extraction?
Local anaesthesia is used before tooth extraction, reducing the chance of pain to zero. Post-operative complications and discomfort are minimised through appropriate recommendations from the dentist.
How to prepare for tooth extraction?
The dentist provides pre-procedure preparation recommendations and aftercare advice during the dental consultation.
What are the alternatives to tooth extraction?
Depending on the patient’s condition, alternatives such as root canal or gingivitis may be preferred if the disorders are in the initial phase.
Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of removing a wisdom tooth in Tbilisi depends on whether the tooth has erupted normally or is impacted in the bone and needs surgical removal. Impacted extractions take longer and are priced accordingly. A 3D CT scan shows the root and nerve position, which is how we determine the approach and the price before starting.
The extraction is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Discomfort and swelling over the following two to three days are normal and are managed with prescribed painkillers and cold compresses. Our maxillofacial surgeon handles the more difficult impacted cases.
The gum closes over within one to two weeks, while the underlying bone continues to fill in over a few months. Most patients return to normal routine the next day. Avoiding smoking, rinsing hard and hot food in the first 24 hours is what most reduces the risk of complications.
We extract only when the tooth cannot be restored — a tooth split below the gum, advanced periodontal bone loss, or a root that cannot be retreated. Decay and infection alone are often treatable with root canal treatment and a crown. We always tell you whether saving the tooth is realistic before recommending removal.
In acute cases, often yes. Call +995 511 11 11 42 and describe the symptoms — severe pain, swelling or a fractured tooth are treated as priority. We are open every day from 10:00 to 21:00, which includes weekends.
