When tooth extraction comes up in Bursa, the most common questions tend to be the same: “Will it hurt a lot? How long does it take? Can dry socket occur? When can I return to work?” As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, my purpose is to clarify that extraction is always considered the last option, but when necessary, we perform it in the safest and most comfortable way possible. This guide provides a clear roadmap for patients in and around Bursa who are considering tooth extraction—when it is needed, how the procedure works, how we control pain, how to speed up healing, and how to avoid common mistakes.
Our priority is always to preserve every tooth in function. However, in some cases, extraction becomes the most appropriate long-term option for oral health:
The decision is never made from a single symptom. Clinical examination + panoramic X-ray and, when needed, CBCT (3D imaging) guide the process. For lower wisdom teeth, CBCT greatly improves accuracy when assessing proximity to the mandibular canal (inferior alveolar nerve).
The advantage of oral and maxillofacial surgery is the ability to manage complex roots, angled positions, nerve-adjacent wisdom teeth, and sinus-close upper molars using predictable, tissue-friendly techniques.
Our clinical approach:
Extractions are performed under local anesthesia. You may feel pressure or vibration, but no pain during the procedure.
For patients with high anxiety, sedation is an option. Sedation does not shorten time, but it makes the entire experience significantly more comfortable.
Post-operative sensitivity in the first 24–72 hours is normal and well-controlled with anti-inflammatory medication, cold application, and elevated head position during sleep.
Simple extractions typically take 10–15 minutes; complex/impacted wisdom teeth may take longer.
Wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth often cause food trapping, bacterial growth, and recurrent pericoronitis.
Completely impacted, symptom-free wisdom teeth may be monitored when appropriate.
If the tooth is close to the nerve, CBCT planning is essential.
In selected high-risk cases, coronectomy (removing only the crown, leaving the roots) may reduce nerve injury risk.
Atraumatic surgery and the use of piezosurgery can reduce swelling and improve healing.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot dislodges, leaving bone exposed—causing severe pain between days 2–4.
Symptoms: pain radiating to ear/temple, foul taste/smell.
Risk factors:
Prevention: Follow the pıhtı-protecting rules and medication plan strictly.
If it occurs, home remedies rarely help—professional medicated dressings provide fast relief.
Can all extractions be done in one session?
Yes, depending on imaging and your general health—2–4 teeth may be removed in one visit.
Is bad breath normal after extraction?
Mild odor is common for a few days. Strong, worsening odor with pain may indicate dry socket.
When can I eat foods with seeds?
Usually after 1 week.
Our clinic offers easy access from Nilüfer, Osmangazi, Yıldırım and nearby districts, with fast appointments and close follow-up. At the first consultation, we evaluate whether extraction is truly necessary and discuss all alternatives and your personalized healing plan.
Tooth extraction does not have to be a painful or stressful procedure. With accurate diagnosis, CBCT-assisted planning, atraumatic surgical techniques, and a clear home-care protocol, the entire process becomes far safer and more comfortable than most patients expect.
When it comes to dental tourism in Turkey, most people immediately think of Antalya. It’s a popular name, promoted heavily across Europe. But did you know that a growing number of international patients are now turning to Bursa for high-quality, more affordable, and uniquely personalized dental treatments?
Dental veneers are a long-term investment in your smile. To ensure they last, practice good oral hygiene, avoid staining foods and hard items, and visit your dentist regularly. By following these tips, you can enjoy a beautiful smile with your veneers for many years.
Oral and dental health is a sensitive and essential topic for everyone. Protecting your oral health is not only important for your teeth but also for your overall well-being. Bacteria and plaque that accumulate on teeth can cause serious damage over time, leading to tooth deformation and gum disease. Proper tooth-brushing plays a crucial role in preventing these problems.
