Surgical Tooth Extraction in Albania
Losing a tooth is never easy — but when a tooth is causing damage, pain, or blocking your path to a healthier smile, removing it is sometimes the most important step forward. At KissDent in Tirana, surgical tooth extractions are performed by experienced oral surgery specialists using advanced techniques designed to minimise discomfort, reduce recovery time, and protect the surrounding teeth and bone.
Our Patients’ Testimonials | Before and After
What Is a Surgical Tooth Extraction?
A surgical tooth extraction is a minor oral surgery procedure used to remove a tooth that cannot be taken out with a simple extraction. This is typically because the tooth is:
- Impacted — trapped beneath the gumline or partially erupted (commonly wisdom teeth)
- Broken or fractured at or below the gumline
- Severely decayed, making it too fragile to pull in one piece
- Curved or unusually shaped at the root
- Retained — a tooth that has failed to erupt naturally
Unlike a routine extraction, surgical removal involves a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth directly. In some cases, the tooth is divided into sections to allow for safer, more controlled removal. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you remain completely comfortable throughout.

When Is a Surgical Extraction Necessary?
Your dentist will recommend a surgical extraction after a clinical examination and, in most cases, a digital panoramic X-ray. This gives the team a precise view of the tooth’s position, root shape, and its relationship to surrounding structures such as nerves and bone.
Common reasons for surgical extraction include:
- Impacted wisdom teeth — the most frequent reason, particularly when wisdom teeth grow at an angle or are blocked by other teeth
- Failed root canal teeth — when a tooth cannot be saved despite endodontic treatment
- Teeth requiring removal before orthodontic treatment
- Preparation for dental implants — removing a compromised tooth to create a healthy foundation for an implant
- Infection or abscess — when an infection has spread and the tooth can no longer be preserved
At KissDent, the decision to extract is never taken lightly. Our team always explores every option to save a natural tooth first. Extraction is recommended only when it is genuinely the best solution for your long-term oral health.

The KissDent Surgical Extraction Procedure
We understand that the idea of oral surgery can feel daunting. Our approach is built around making the experience as calm, clear, and pain-free as possible — from the first consultation to the final stitch.
1. Consultation and Digital Imaging
Your treatment begins with a full clinical assessment and a high-resolution panoramic X-ray. Our specialist reviews your case in detail, explains the procedure, and answers every question you have before anything begins.
2. Anaesthesia
A precise local anaesthetic is administered to ensure the entire treatment area is fully numb. You will feel pressure during the procedure — but not pain.
3. The Extraction
A small incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and surrounding bone. Depending on the complexity, the tooth may be gently divided before removal. Our team works methodically and carefully to protect the bone and tissue around the site.
4. Closure and Care Instructions
The site is cleaned, and dissolvable sutures are placed where needed. You’ll receive clear, written aftercare instructions before you leave, along with direct contact details in case you have any questions during recovery.
Recovery After Surgical Tooth Extraction
Most patients recover comfortably within a few days. The first 24–48 hours are the most important:
- Expect some swelling and mild discomfort — this is completely normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief
- Avoid smoking, alcohol, and straws for at least 48 hours, as these can disturb the clot and slow healing
- Eat soft foods for the first few days — soups, yoghurt, mashed foods
- Keep the area clean by gently rinsing with warm salt water after 24 hours
Most patients can return to normal activities the following day. Our team is always available if you experience anything unexpected.

Sono stato ospite presso la clinica Kissdent di Tirana la scorsa settimana per effettuare degli impianti. Sono rimasto a dir poco sorpreso per la cortesia, la disponibilità, la gentilezza e la professionalità dei medici e di tutto il personale dipendente. Sono stato accolto all’aeroporto dal proprietario della clinica e dall’interprete con molta simpatia e familiarità. Prima di raggiungere la clinica avevo qualche dubbio ma, mi sono ricreduto da subito, quando ho assaporato la tendenza positiva che anima gli operatori (tutti, nessuno escluso). Ho trovato due dottoresse molto pazienti che mi hanno fatto sentire a mio agio e mi hanno ben consigliato sui lavori da eseguire. L’interprete straordinaria, non mi ha mai abbandonato (in caso di difficoltà durante il soggiorno potevo raggiungerla telefonicamente ricevendo sempre grande disponibilità e competenza). Mi sono trovato davvero molto bene. Tornerò volentieri a Gennaio per continuare le cure col piacere di incontrare ciascuno/a di loro.
Siamo stati in questa clinica x fare gli impianti, appena arrivati avevamo molti dubbi e ansia non conoscendo nessuno non sapevamo a chi ci stessimo affidando, poi tutto è svanito appena abbiamo conosciuto Berti, Vera, Alba, Renata e il resto dello staff tutti molto gentili disponibili e professionali, non credevamo che in meno di una settimana avremmo fatto metà del lavoro quando in Italia ci sarebbero voluti anni. Siamo rimasti molto contenti per il lavoro svolto, ritorneremo tra pochi mesi per completare il lavoro. Grazie infinitamente
Compliments to the entire team. Very professional, respect your time and plan around your need. They pick you up from the airport and drop you off as well. Came here with my family and my dad decide to do some treatment as well. In 4 days between me and my dad we have done 7 implants. Doctor is so sweet and you wont feel any pain at all. Same goes for extraction and fillings. The whole team is amazing. Located in the heart of the city of Tirana, very clean and like I said NO PAIN AT ALL. Thanks again everyone. See you soon
I went to Kissdent to see about old crowns (30 years old) and recent work that I had done in the EU that I was not happy with. With a panoramic xray (and visual aesthetic check) it was clear what needed to be done.
Fast-forward 2 weeks and I write now, with 9 beautiful new zirconium crowns. They are mostly back molars but one that I worried about most was my left front tooth. I have a difficult tooth colour to match.
Kissdent staff have done a wonderful job. The clinic and lab are located on the same premises so they are able to adjust the tooth colour and overall bite precisely.
All excellent quality work and material for a very reasonable price. Unbeatable in Europe and North America.
Kissdent clinic is pristine in terms of cleanliness, ambient and warm in atmosphere….but the best is the staff and the relief you feel knowing that you are in good hands. They are very professional and communicative (in english and several other languages). They take the time and do not rush you through.
They can do any form of dentistry…from cosmetics to implants and orthodontics but they do not try to sell you more services than you need. They respect strong and healthy teeth.
Thank you all very much for your great service and for my new smile!!!
Ich bin zum dritten Mal in der Praxis Kiss Dent. Ich bin absolut begeistert!
Ich hab ein Implantat am Frontzahn bekommen. Das war vor einem halben Jahr, die Behandlung war sehr sanft, sehr einfühlsam und ist fantastisch verheilt. Es hat nicht einen Moment wehgetan und ich hab mich jederzeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Die Praxis ist top ausgestattet und die Mitarbeiterin sind alle sehr nett. Die Termine sind pünktlich, es gibt keine Wartezeit und die Arbeit ist absolut akkurat.
Jetzt hat man mir im dortigen Labor zwei Kronen angefertigt, die absolut natürlich und passgenau gearbeitet sind. Wirklich fantastische Arbeit. Die größte Herausforderung, Kronen im Frontbereich, haben die Ärztin und das angeschlossene Labor zu meiner vollsten Begeisterung gemeistert!
Ich kann diese Klinik nur allen sehr ans Herz legen.
Die Reise lohnt sich und ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, which numbs the entire area completely. You may feel some pressure or movement, but you will not feel pain. If you feel anxious, let your dentist know — we will take extra time to make sure you are comfortable before we begin.
Most surgical extractions take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. Your dentist will give you a more accurate estimate after reviewing your X-ray.
Most patients feel back to normal within 2–4 days. Swelling typically peaks at 48 hours and gradually subsides. Full tissue healing takes around 1–2 weeks.
In some cases, yes. Immediate implant placement following extraction is possible depending on the condition of the surrounding bone and tissue. Your specialist will assess this during your consultation and advise on the best timing for your situation.
