1When a tooth is removed
Before extraction the doctor always checks whether the tooth can be saved, for example with root canal treatment or apical surgery. Read more on the dental treatment page.
2What extraction includes
- Anesthesia
- Collagen sponge in the socket
- Stitches
- Anesthesia, sponge and stitches
- The 3D scan shows the doctor the roots in advance
- A 3D scan (CBCT) from our partner center is required
- Anesthesia
- If a tooth was removed early, we help keep the space for the permanent one
3How extraction works
- 1Examination and X-rayThe doctor examines the tooth and decides whether it can be saved. Before a complex extraction, you get a referral for a 3D scan at our partner center Prime Dent.
- 2AnesthesiaFirst a numbing gel, then an injection with SuperPen or the VibraJect attachment, so you barely feel the injection itself. Classic anesthesia is also available.
- 3ExtractionWe remove the tooth gently, trying to preserve the bone and gum around it.
- 4Sponge and stitchesWe place a collagen sponge in the socket and stitch it. If an implant is planned later, the bone volume can be preserved right away.
- 5Aftercare and follow-upThe doctor will explain how to care for the socket in the first days. The follow-up check and stitch removal are free.
It is best to discuss in advance how to replace the extracted tooth. Most often it is an implant: read more about implants.

No. We remove teeth under local anesthesia: first a numbing gel, then an injection with SuperPen or the VibraJect attachment, so you barely feel the injection itself. Classic anesthesia is also available. After extraction there may be a slight ache; the doctor will tell you how to relieve it.
Not always. If it grows straight, does not crowd the neighboring teeth and can be cleaned properly, it can stay. The doctor decides after the examination and a 3D scan.
The doctor will explain in detail how to care for the socket in the first days. If anything worries you, message us. The follow-up check and stitch removal are free.
After extraction, the bone in that spot gradually shrinks. If the socket is filled with a special material right away, a future implant will be easier and bone grafting will be needed less often.
Sometimes right away, sometimes after a few months: it depends on the condition of the bone and gum. The doctor will tell you after the examination and X-ray.
