How much it costs to extract a tooth in Dnipro and what the price depends on

In short: at Houston an ordinary tooth extraction costs UAH 2,000–3,500, a wisdom tooth 3,500–4,500. The range is no accident: a straight single-rooted tooth and a tooth lying sideways in the bone are operations of different complexity. Below — what the price depends on and why the exact sum is given only after an X-ray.

How much extraction costs

On top of this comes a consultation with an examination — from UAH 590, and where needed a targeted or panoramic X-ray to see the shape and position of the roots. The X-ray is not a way to «pad the bill» but a necessity: without it the surgeon works blind.

What determines the price

• Position of the tooth. A straight erupted tooth comes out in minutes. A tooth lying at an angle or in the bone needs an incision — that is a different operation.
• Number and shape of roots. A single-rooted front tooth and a molar with divergent roots are different in complexity.
• Degree of destruction. If there is almost no crown left and nothing to grip, the extraction is harder.
• Inflammation. An acute process around the tooth complicates both the procedure itself and the anaesthesia.
• Sutures. A surgical extraction often ends with sutures.

An ordinary extraction and a wisdom tooth — what is the difference

This is the most common source of confusion over the price. An ordinary erupted tooth the surgeon removes with an instrument in a few minutes under anaesthesia. A wisdom tooth is often:

• erupted only partially or not at all;
• growing at an angle, pressing against the neighbouring tooth;
• lying horizontally in the bone.

In such cases an incision in the gum is needed, sometimes dividing the tooth into parts and placing sutures. This is a full surgical operation, hence the higher range. The process is described in detail in the article on wisdom tooth removal.

Does a tooth always have to be extracted

No — and this is the honest part of the conversation. Sometimes a tooth that would be «sentenced» to extraction elsewhere can be saved with root canal treatment under a microscope. So before an extraction we assess whether it makes sense to save the tooth: your own tooth is almost always better than any replacement. But if the tooth is destroyed below the bone, cracked along the root, or has a focus that does not respond to treatment, extraction becomes the right decision.

What comes after extraction

The cost of extraction is not the whole story. After a tooth is lost, a gap remains and the neighbouring teeth shift over time. So at the consultation the surgeon immediately talks about restoration options: a crown on a preserved root or an implant, sometimes immediate, in the same socket. This is not upselling but a way to avoid losing the neighbouring teeth too later on.

How it works at Houston

• Consultation and X-ray — from UAH 590. We assess the complexity and whether the tooth can be saved.
• Extraction under anaesthesia — UAH 2,000–3,500 for an ordinary tooth, 3,500–4,500 for a wisdom tooth.
• Aftercare advice — how to care for the socket in the first two days, when complications are forming.
• Restoration plan — if the tooth is lost, we discuss what to replace it with and when.
