Dental surgery

Dental surgery covers the procedures that work on bone and gum rather than on the tooth alone: simple extractions, wisdom tooth extractions, apicoectomy and biopsy.

These are chair-side procedures, not hospital ones. They are done under local anaesthetic, you go home the same day, and you get the aftercare instructions in writing before you leave.

A wisdom tooth can be upright, partly erupted, or fully covered by bone and gum, and the difference changes the procedure entirely. All types are treated in-house, regardless of position or depth of impaction — the clinic has oral and maxillofacial surgeons on the team.

Extraction is the last option, not the first. A tooth with deep decay or an infection at the root tip is treated endodontically first; it comes out only when there is nothing left to save — a vertical root fracture, breakdown below the bone line, an infection that returns after retreatment.

Wisdom teeth are a different case: a tooth pushing into the one in front of it, one with no room to come up straight, or one that flares up repeatedly because the gum over it traps food.

A wisdom tooth that came up straight, cleans well and causes no trouble does not need removing as a precaution.

When an infection at the root tip does not settle after root canal treatment and retreatment, it can be reached directly: the tip of the root is exposed surgically, the infected portion is removed along with the lesion around it, and the canal is sealed at its end.

It is the procedure that saves the tooth where the alternative is extraction. It does not replace root canal treatment — it comes after it, when that alone has not resolved the problem.

After an extraction, plasma drawn from your own blood in the same appointment and spun on site can be placed into the empty socket, to support healing of the wound.

Because it comes from your own blood, it is not a foreign material introduced into the body. It is offered case by case, not at every extraction. It is recommended mainly for larger extractions — impacted wisdom teeth, larger sockets — and for patients with slower healing: smokers, diabetics, or those at higher risk of dry socket.

1. 01

   Consultation and X-ray

   day 1

   The position of the roots and their relationship to the sinus and the nerve become visible. This is where it is decided whether the procedure is simple or surgical, and where you learn the cost before anything starts.

2. 02

   The procedure

   one appointment

   Under local anaesthetic. You feel pressure during it, not pain. You go home the same day.

3. 03

   The first few days

   Swelling and discomfort are normal after a surgical extraction and ease off day by day. You get instructions on eating, keeping the area clean, and medication.

4. 04

   The healing check

   The site is checked and, where stitches were used, they come out.

The prices below are starting points. A surgical extraction, where the gum is lifted and bone has to be removed, costs more than a simple one — which is why the exact figure is settled after the X-ray, not over the phone.

Simple extraction

from 600 lei

Apicoectomy
