Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction involves removing a tooth due to damage, decay, or impaction. It’s recommended when a tooth cannot be saved through restorative methods or causes crowding or infection that may affect surrounding teeth and overall oral health.

Modern extraction techniques and anesthesia make the process nearly painless. Local anesthesia or sedation is used depending on the case, ensuring comfort during the procedure. Mild discomfort post-extraction is manageable with prescribed painkillers and aftercare instructions from the dental team.

Tooth extractions abroad often cost significantly less than in high-cost countries. Pricing depends on the complexity of the procedure and location, but savings can range between 50% to 70%, making dental tourism a cost-effective alternative for many patients.

Tooth extractions are typically outpatient procedures. However, in cases of multiple or surgical extractions, a short rest period may be recommended. Most patients resume light activities the next day and can continue traveling after 24–48 hours with caution.
