Tooth Extraction in Al Barsha, Dubai

Tooth extraction prices

Prices are estimates. Your dentist confirms the final price after examining your teeth. Instalments with Tabby or Tamara are subject to their approval.

When a tooth needs to come out

The dentist will always try to save a tooth first, but removing it can be the right choice when a tooth is broken beyond repair, badly decayed, very loose from gum disease, or causing repeated infections. Teeth are sometimes removed to make space for braces or before a denture is made.

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth at the back of the mouth. When there is not enough room, they can grow at an angle or stay partly under the gum, which can cause pain, swelling and infection.

Simple extraction or surgical extraction?

• Simple extractionFor a tooth that is fully visible in the mouth. It is loosened and removed with dental instruments.
• Surgical extractionFor wisdom teeth and broken teeth. A small cut in the gum, and sometimes dividing the tooth into pieces, makes removal easier. Stitches may be placed.

How much does a tooth extraction cost in Dubai?

At Healthpoint, a simple extraction starts from AED 100 per tooth, and wisdom tooth removal is priced after the X-ray. The X-ray shows how the roots sit, which decides whether the tooth needs a simple or surgical extraction, and the dentist tells you the price before starting.

Your extraction, step by step

1. Check-up and X-rayThe dentist checks the tooth, its roots and your medical history.
2. NumbingLocal anaesthetic numbs the tooth and the surrounding area.
3. Removing the toothYou feel pressure but should not feel sharp pain. Tell the dentist if you do.
4. Gauze and aftercareYou bite on gauze to stop the bleeding and receive written aftercare instructions.

Please tell the dentist if you take blood thinners, have diabetes or heart problems, or are pregnant.

Replacing the gap

Once the area has healed, a missing tooth can be replaced with an implant, a bridge or a denture. Wisdom teeth do not usually need replacing.

Risks and side effects

• Bleeding, swelling and discomfort for the first few days.
• Dry socket: the blood clot comes away from the socket, causing pain from day two to four. It is more likely in smokers.
• Infection of the socket, treated by the dentist.
• For lower wisdom teeth, rarely, injury to a nerve causing numbness or tingling of the lip, chin or tongue, usually temporary.
• For upper back teeth, rarely, an opening into the sinus that needs extra treatment.

Your dentist explains the risks for your own case before you decide.

Aftercare

• Keep biting on the gauze for 30 to 45 minutes.
• For the first 24 hours, do not rinse, spit forcefully or drink through a straw.
• Do not smoke for at least 48 hours.
• Eat soft, cool food and chew on the other side.
• From the next day, rinse gently with warm salt water after meals.
• Contact us if bleeding does not stop, swelling gets worse after day three, or you develop a fever.
