Treatments / Extractions & wisdom teeth
Tooth and wisdom teeth extractions in Medellín
Whether it's a simple extraction or an impacted wisdom tooth that needs surgery, the price per tooth is in the same range. No lab work, no long wait, and usually done in a single appointment.
Not every wisdom tooth has to come out
If a wisdom tooth has fully come in, doesn't hurt and you can clean it properly, it can often stay. We recommend removing it when it's stuck under the gum, pushing on the tooth next to it, keeps getting infected, or is too far back to keep clean.
A panoramic X-ray shows us exactly where each tooth sits, so we can tell you which ones need to come out, if any.
Does it hurt?
The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia, so you'll feel pressure but not pain. Afterwards, some swelling and soreness for a few days is normal. Ice, rest and the medication we prescribe usually keep it under control.
We give you written aftercare instructions in English, and you can message us on WhatsApp if anything worries you.
Before an extraction, we check the alternatives
Can the tooth be saved?
An infected tooth can often be kept with a root canal and a crown.
Replacing a visible tooth
If it can't be saved, an implant can sometimes go in the same day as the extraction.
Wisdom teeth
These usually don't need replacing, since they don't affect your bite or your smile.
