What is Simple Extraction?
Simple tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is visible in the mouth, fully erupted, and not structurally complicated. It is one of the most common dental procedures, performed when a tooth is too damaged by decay or trauma to be restored, or as part of a broader treatment plan. At MedProper Istanbul, extractions are performed gently using modern techniques for minimal discomfort and rapid healing.
How Does Simple Extraction Work?
- 1A periapical X-ray confirms the tooth's root anatomy and surrounding bone condition.
- 2Local anaesthesia is administered to completely numb the tooth and surrounding tissue.
- 3The tooth is loosened using an elevator instrument and then removed with forceps using controlled, gentle pressure.
- 4The socket is checked for debris, and any sharp bone edges are smoothed. A gauze pad is placed for haemostasis.
Who is a Good Candidate for Simple Extraction?
- Patients with severely decayed teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or crowns
- Individuals with fractured teeth where the break extends below the gum line
- Those needing extractions as part of orthodontic or prosthetic treatment planning
- Patients with loose teeth due to advanced gum disease

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Local anaesthesia ensures you feel only pressure, not pain, during the extraction. Post-operative discomfort is mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
MedProper can plan immediate or future replacement with an implant, bridge, or denture. Leaving a gap long-term can cause adjacent teeth to shift, so replacement is recommended.
Wait until the anaesthesia wears off to avoid biting your cheek. Then stick to soft, cool foods for the first 24-48 hours.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot is dislodged from the extraction site, exposing bone. Avoid smoking, spitting, straws, and vigorous rinsing for 48 hours after extraction to minimise the risk.
