What is it?
Dental extractions are some of the most common procedures in dentistry. They involve the surgical removal of teeth from the mouth.
A dental extraction may be necessary for different reasons like tooth decay, infection, or as part of your oral treatment plan.
Most dentists view dental extractions as a last resort method of treating a problem. In many cases, dental fillings and root canals may still save a tooth.
While it may seem scary to lose teeth, dental extractions can improve your health and prevent complications down the road.
The Process
A dental extraction may be completed in one visit to our clinic in Talisay, Cebu. But before you fully commit to undergoing a dental extraction, it’s best to consult with our dentist to get a thorough understanding of your options.
When you visit our clinic, here’s what you can expect:
- During your visit: We’ll conduct a thorough medical history check and listen to your concerns. Then a dentist will examine your teeth and determine the feasibility of the procedure. After you’ve been made aware of the other methods for treatment, you will be asked to decide on what you’d ultimately like to do.
- After your procedure: We’ll carefully go over the dos and don’ts during your recovery period. Expect some discomfort and pain for the first week after your operation. You’ll most likely need to be on a soft food diet for the entirety of the recovery process as your wounds heal.
How much does it cost?
The price for a dental extraction is dependent on factors like:
- The location of the tooth
- The difficulty of removing the tooth
- A dental extraction may also require additional procedures such as X-rays, anesthesia, sedation and stitches.
Because of the factors involved, a dental extraction in Cebu can range from ₱700-15,000 ($12-260) per tooth or more. But the final cost of your procedure may vary as this range is only a rough estimate.
