Wisdom teeth are the most common surgical extraction: they often sit sideways or half under the gum, so the gum is opened and the tooth sectioned. All four can be removed in one visit, though for comfort we advise against it.
Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, decayed or repeatedly infected; a fully erupted, healthy wisdom tooth that you can clean is left alone.
Lower wisdom teeth sit near the nerve that supplies the lip and chin, so a panoramic X-ray is taken before anything is decided. Where the roots look close to it, the honest options are leaving the tooth alone or a more cautious technique, not a quicker extraction.
We extract a tooth only when it cannot be saved: a root fractured lengthways, decay below the gum, a failed root canal that cannot be retreated, or a wisdom tooth that is impacted or repeatedly infected. Everything else is restored first.
Simple extractions loosen and lift the tooth; surgical extractions open the gum and sometimes section the tooth, which is the norm for lower wisdom teeth. Both are done by an oral surgeon under local anaesthetic.

Is it right for me?
Usually a good fit
- ✓Teeth broken below the gum or cracked to the root
- ✓Impacted or repeatedly infected wisdom teeth
- ✓Failed root canals that cannot be retreated
- ✓Teeth removed to make room for implants
Not ideal, or treated first
- –Teeth that a filling, root canal or crown can still save
- –Uncontrolled diabetes or blood thinners without a doctor's plan
- –Active infection needing antibiotics first
What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Dry socket
Loss of the blood clot in the first days causes pain; avoiding smoking, straws and rinsing for 48 hours prevents most cases, and a dressing treats it.
Swelling and bruising
Common after surgical and wisdom tooth removals for three to five days; cold packs and prescribed painkillers manage it.
Nerve proximity
Lower wisdom teeth can sit near the nerve; the panoramic X-ray shows this before we operate.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- Bite on gauze for 30–60 minutes
- No rinsing, smoking or straws for 48 hours
- Soft, cool food for two days
- Painkillers as prescribed; call us if pain worsens after day three
Healing takes one to two weeks; the bone remodels over three to six months, which is when an implant is placed.
Questions patients ask
How much is wisdom tooth removal in Turkey?
It is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed; you receive a written price before you book. All four can be done in one visit, though for comfort we advise against it.
How long is recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Swelling and soreness for three to five days, stitches out at a week; plan to fly two to three days after surgery.
Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?
It is possible in one visit under local anaesthetic, but for comfort we recommend two visits; sedation is not offered.
Can all four be removed at once?
It is possible under local anaesthetic, but we advise two visits for comfort: eating and sleeping are considerably easier when one side still works. Sedation is not offered.
How long is the recovery?
Swelling peaks on day two or three and settles over three to five days for a surgical removal. A simple extraction is usually comfortable the next day.
How much is a tooth extraction in Turkey?
€75 for a simple extraction and €125 for a surgical or wisdom tooth removal, against £100–450 privately in the UK. A bone graft into the socket is €50.
Can I fly after a tooth extraction?
Yes, usually the next day for simple extractions and after two to three days for surgical ones; we schedule the check before your flight.
Do I need to replace an extracted tooth?
Back teeth and any visible tooth yes, to keep the bite and prevent neighbours drifting; an implant is placed after three to six months, or a bridge sooner.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
Not during (local anaesthetic); expect swelling and soreness for three to five days, managed with cold packs and painkillers.
