Tooth Extraction in Kyiv

At UKRMED, tooth extraction of any complexity — from simple cases to surgical ones, including impacted wisdom teeth — is completely painless thanks to modern anesthesia. The procedure itself takes 15 to 60 minutes. The decision to extract is made only after an X-ray or CT scan, and the exact price is agreed with the patient before any surgical work begins.

A tooth that's been quiet for a month, then two days of sharp pain — and there you are, googling "tooth extraction Kyiv" at one in the morning. At UKRMED, oral surgeons treat a complex tooth extraction as routine work. Every patient first goes through diagnostics: an X-ray, or a CT scan of the jaw when needed. Only then is it clear whether the tooth can be saved, or extraction is the only sensible route.

When Extraction Is Actually Necessary

Dentistry holds onto a living tooth for as long as it can — filling, root canal treatment, a crown. But sometimes the root has broken down below the gum line, a cyst won't respond to treatment, or the tooth is loose from advanced periodontitis. There's no single rule doctors follow here, no "if it hurts, pull it" shortcut — it's the X-ray and the specific symptoms that decide, case by case.

Does It Actually Hurt to Have a Tooth Pulled?

The question everyone asks before sitting down.

Honest answer: it's painless, since it's done under local anesthesia — the drug blocks nerve impulses within minutes. Pressure, a bit of tugging, sure; pain doesn't. At UKRMED tooth extraction under local anesthesia is tailored to the person: articaine with epinephrine for standard cases, a higher dose or sedation for a complex tooth extraction or an anxious patient.

Types of Tooth Extraction at UKRMED

The complexity of the case defines its category:

1. Simple tooth extraction — crown's fully intact, one root (or a fused one), and forceps plus an elevator get it done in ten to fifteen minutes flat.

2. Surgical (complex) tooth extraction — this is what happens when the crown's badly broken down or the roots curve awkwardly; the surgeon may need to open the gum and even split the tooth apart with a drill.

3. Atypical tooth extraction — unusual root anatomy or an abnormal position in the jaw.

4. Impacted tooth extraction — the crown never fully erupted, or the tooth sits at an angle, most often the third molars.

How the Extraction Procedure Works

First — an oral surgeon consultation: exam, an X-ray or 3D scan, a review of chronic conditions and allergies. Then anesthesia, then the extraction itself — from 15 minutes for a simple case to an hour for a surgical one. A suture closes things up if the case needs one, plus a collagen sponge tucked into the socket to keep the bleeding in check. Twenty, thirty minutes later, most patients are already heading out the door — no bed rest necessary, just hold off on the gym for a day or two.

Indications and Contraindications for Tooth Extraction

Aftercare and Healing After Tooth Extraction

The first hours matter most: keep the gauze in place for 20-30 minutes, skip rinsing, avoid anything hot. For the next two or three days, it's soft food only, and cigarettes and the gym are both off the table. Soft tissue tends to close up within a week or two, though bone takes considerably longer — occasionally a few months, especially once a wisdom tooth has come out. A throbbing ache or an off smell showing up on day three? That's worth a phone call to the clinic, not something to sit with.

Tooth Extraction Before Dental Implant and Orthodontic Treatment

Sometimes extraction isn't about the tooth itself — it's a preparatory step. Before a dental implant, the socket is often filled with a bone graft material to preserve its volume. Before orthodontic treatment, one or two teeth are removed to make room for alignment — coordinated with the orthodontist.

Tooth Extraction Price at UKRMED

The price depends on complexity: simple extraction costs less, surgical extraction or impacted wisdom tooth removal costs more. The exact tooth extraction price is quoted after the exam and the scan — a number without diagnostics is a guess.
