Here at Center Dental Clinic Turkey in Antalya, we make it our top priority to protect your natural teeth at all times. On the other hand, there are those instances in which tooth extraction is required. Our highly trained staff and dentists, which are supervised by Dr. Alpaslan Burak Zorlu, is capable of performing routine as well as surgical tooth extraction procedures with the utmost attention to detail and accuracy.
Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in bone. At Center Dental Clinic, we do two types of extractions:
Simple (non-surgical) extraction.
Surgical extraction.
Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary to preserve oral health when a tooth becomes too damaged or problematic. The most common reasons include severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, overcrowding before orthodontic treatment, and fractured teeth beyond repair. At Center Dental Clinic, we perform extractions safely and comfortably, always prioritizing your long-term dental wellness.
Best Options for Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is sometimes the best solution to protect your oral health, relieve pain, or prepare your mouth for further treatment. At Center Dental Clinic in Turkey, our experienced dental team ensures every extraction is performed safely, gently, and with your comfort as a top priority.
Tooth extraction may be required in several common scenarios:
When decay reaches the pulp and root of the tooth, and root canal therapy is no longer viable, extraction becomes necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
If the supporting bone and tissues are severely damaged due to gum disease, the affected tooth may become loose and require removal.
Wisdom teeth that don’t fully emerge or grow in the wrong direction can cause pain, crowding, or infection and are often extracted as a preventive measure.
A cracked or broken tooth — especially below the gumline — may not be restorable and could require extraction to protect surrounding structures.
Sometimes, teeth are extracted to create space for alignment during orthodontic treatment, especially in cases of overcrowding.
If a tooth cannot support a crown, bridge, or implant due to structural weakness, it may need to be removed for successful long-term results.
Common causes for having a tooth removed include:
– For completely erupted teeth in the mouth
– When the tooth root is straight and intact
– When the tooth is easily graspable with forceps
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth healing process and to prevent complications like infection or dry socket. At Center Dental Clinic, we provide clear post-extraction guidance to support your recovery.
Following a tooth extraction, proper care is essential for a swift recovery and optimal oral health.
After a tooth extraction:
Your dentist will provide detailed instructions to help manage these symptoms, which may include:

Once the extraction site has healed, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to prevent infections or issues with neighboring teeth:
With proper aftercare, you’ll ensure a smooth recovery from your tooth extraction and maintain overall dental health for the long term
At Center Dental Clinic Turkey, we prioritize your comfort with suitable anesthesia. You may feel pressure, but there should be no pain during the operation.
Recovery duration varies, however most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Yes, if you have simply received local anesthetic. If you were sedated, you will need to be driven.
Eat soft foods for the first few days. We will provide a complete diet plan.
Brush your teeth the night of the extraction, but avoid the extraction location for the first 24-hour period.
Dislodged blood clots might cause dry sockets. Follow our aftercare guidelines properly to avoid this
The operation normally takes 30-60 minutes, but may vary depending on complexity and not all wisdom tooth extractions require surgical extraction unless tooth is impacted.
Antibiotics are not usually needed. We will prescribe them if there is a high risk of infection.
Avoid smoking for at least 72 hours following the extraction since it can impede healing.
I experienced first class care and expertise at this clinic. From arrival at reception to treatment and through to aftercare, I enjoyed complete reassurance with the professionalism at all times. The consultant advised based on my wellbeing and did so at a potential cost of business to the clinic. I would have no hesitation recommending you to this team of fantastic people. Tim
Fabulous from start to finish. The team are extremely professional, patient, and genuinely care about the patients well being and end results. I couldn't be happier with my beautiful smile. Ì literally can't stop smiling. Thank you Dr. Burak Zorlu and the whole team. 100% recommended.
All the staff are super friendly, the translator, surgeon and the dentists were all very informative. The clinic itself is very clean and only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. The staff will inform you the whole way along of what treatment you need. They all put my mind at rest. I can not fault the service/treatment. My teeth look phenomenal and I’m very happy. I’d highly recommend this clinic for people wanting any treatment! Thank you again!
I flew in from London to Antalya specifically for dental cleaning and whitening—and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The treatment was gentle, professional, and incredibly effective. My teeth look fantastic, and the price was far more affordable than what I’d pay back home. The clinic was spotless, the staff were warm and attentive, and everything was clearly explained. I’ll definitely be returning for future treatments. Highly recommended.
I was very apprehensive about travelling to turkey for my teeth. However the service was very smooth & professional start to finish. I have struggled with my teeth since being 18 and I can’t wait for the end result in December.
