Extraction is not always the first option, but in some cases it is the most appropriate way to relieve symptoms and protect overall oral health.

At our practice in central Larissa, each case is organised with assessment of the tooth, explanation of the procedure and tailored aftercare instructions.

When extraction may be needed

  • When a tooth has extensive damage that cannot be predictably restored.
  • When there is pain, inflammation or repeated swelling around the tooth.
  • When a wisdom tooth or another tooth creates pressure, discomfort or cleaning difficulty.
  • When the next restorative step, such as an implant or prosthetic option, needs to be planned.

FAQ

  • Does a tooth extraction hurt?

    Every case is assessed individually and the procedure is carried out carefully so the experience is kept as comfortable as possible.

  • What should I pay attention to after an extraction?

    Aftercare depends on the case, so it is important to follow the specific instructions you receive for proper healing.

  • Can I discuss replacing the missing tooth afterwards?

    Yes. After healing, we can review whether an implant, bridge or another option fits your needs.
