THE PROCEDURE
What is tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction is a procedure performed to remove a tooth that is severely damaged, infected, impacted, or no longer able to be preserved. It helps relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection, and protect the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
While every effort is made to save a natural tooth where possible, extraction is sometimes the safest and most effective treatment. Following removal, your dentist will discuss suitable replacement options, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, if needed to restore your smile and chewing function.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every tooth extraction is carefully planned using advanced digital imaging to ensure safe, precise treatment. Our experienced dentists use modern techniques to maximise comfort and support a smooth recovery, combining exceptional clinical care with the outstanding value and hospitality that have made Turkey a leading destination for dental treatment.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth that is damaged, decayed, infected, impacted, or cannot be repaired. It helps relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect your overall oral health.
When is a tooth extraction necessary?
An extraction may be recommended if a tooth is severely decayed, fractured beyond repair, affected by advanced gum disease, impacted, or causing overcrowding before orthodontic treatment.
Is tooth extraction painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the extraction. Mild discomfort, swelling, or soreness afterwards is normal and can usually be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does it take to recover?
Initial healing usually takes 1–2 weeks, although the gum begins to heal within the first few days. Complete healing of the underlying bone takes longer.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients are able to return home within 1–3 days after a routine tooth extraction, provided healing is progressing normally.
What should I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods such as yoghurt, soup, mashed potatoes, eggs, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hot foods, alcohol, and using a straw until your dentist advises it is safe.
What should I avoid after a tooth extraction?
Avoid smoking, vigorous rinsing, drinking through a straw, heavy exercise, and disturbing the extraction site for the first few days, as these can delay healing and increase the risk of a dry socket.
Will I need to replace the extracted tooth?
If the extracted tooth is visible or important for chewing, your dentist may recommend replacing it with a dental implant, bridge, or denture to restore function and help prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
