Surgical procedures and prices
Prices are shown with and without Slovak public health insurance. If you are not insured in Slovakia, ask us before the procedure which price applies to you. Anaesthesia and all related procedures are included. Prices are indicative.
Wisdom teeth
If the roots of a lower wisdom tooth are close to the nerve on the panoramic X-ray, we take a 3D CBCT scan before the procedure. If the risk of nerve damage is high, we recommend a coronectomy: we remove the crown of the tooth and leave the roots near the nerve in the bone. Upper wisdom teeth carry no significant risk to the nerve.
Surgical extraction €90–120 with Slovak insurance, €140–170 without insurance. Coronectomy €80.
Surgical extraction
When a tooth cannot be removed in the usual way: a broken tooth, remaining roots or a tooth that has not erupted. We free the tooth through a small incision in the gum and stitch the wound.
€90–120 with Slovak insurance, €140–170 without insurance.
Tooth extraction
Single-rooted tooth €45 with Slovak insurance, €60 without insurance. Multi-rooted tooth €60 with Slovak insurance, €80 without insurance. Stitching the wound €10 with Slovak insurance, €15 without insurance.
Apicoectomy
When inflammation at the root of a tooth has not settled even after root canal treatment. We remove the inflamed tissue and the root tip and seal the canal with a filling from below. This often means the tooth does not have to be extracted.
€200 with Slovak insurance, €250 without insurance. The consultation with 3D CBCT (€50) is deducted from the price of the apicoectomy. More about apicoectomy
Closing an opening into the maxillary sinus
After an upper molar is extracted, an opening into the maxillary sinus (oroantral communication) sometimes forms. We close it with stitches.
€80 with Slovak insurance, €130 without insurance.
Sinus lift and bone grafting
When there is not enough bone for an implant. We perform both closed and open sinus lifts. Closed sinus lift from €150, open sinus lift with bone substitute €400, bone grafting €100–300 depending on the extent.
Implant after tooth extraction
If conditions allow, we place the implant immediately after the tooth is extracted. An implant with a zirconia crown costs from €1,000.
A 3D CBCT scan costs €50. Full price list
How a surgical procedure works
Before every procedure, we explain the steps, the risks and the price.
- 01
Examination and X-ray
We examine the tooth and, if needed, take an X-ray or a 3D CBCT scan.
- 02
Procedure under local anaesthesia
Thanks to local anaesthesia, the procedure is painless. We work under 6× magnification and stitch the wound if needed.
- 03
Aftercare instructions
You will receive instructions on how to look after the wound and what to do if you have pain or swelling.
- 04
Check-up
After a surgical procedure, we invite you for a check-up and stitch removal, usually after 7 days.
Swelling and healing
Swelling is greatest on day 2 to 3 and then subsides. In the first days, a cold compress helps, not heat. If the swelling increases after day 3, the pain gets worse or you have a fever, call us.
Pain or swelling
Call us, ideally first thing in the morning at 7:00. We try to see you the same day between booked patients, even if you are not registered with us. We can open and drain an abscess directly at the clinic.
If you have major swelling that makes swallowing or breathing difficult, go to an emergency department or an oral and maxillofacial surgery department straight away.
After the procedure, you return to your own dentist
Other dentists also refer patients to us for surgical procedures or implants. We perform the procedure you were referred for, and then you return to your own dentist. Please bring your referral slip.
Questions about surgical procedures
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
We perform the procedure under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during it, only pressure. Once the anaesthesia wears off, the wound may hurt for a few days. We will recommend a painkiller.
Do I need a 3D CBCT before wisdom tooth removal?
Not always. We take one for a lower wisdom tooth whose roots are close to the nerve on the panoramic X-ray, and before a complex surgical procedure. If you have not had a 3D CBCT before, it is charged separately (€50).
What is a coronectomy?
We remove only the crown of the wisdom tooth and leave the roots that lie right next to the nerve in the bone. We do it when removing the whole tooth would carry a high risk of nerve damage.
Can the nerve be damaged during wisdom tooth removal?
With lower wisdom teeth, yes, which is why we also list this risk in the informed consent. It is usually temporary numbness of the lip or chin. Permanent damage is rare.
Will you extract a tooth even if it is inflamed?
If you can open your mouth wide enough and the procedure can be done safely, we extract an inflamed wisdom tooth straight away. If you can only open it a little, we first calm the inflammation and perform the procedure later.
How long does the wound take to heal?
Swelling is greatest on day 2 to 3. We usually remove the stitches after 7 days. The bone in the wound continues to heal for several weeks.
Can an extracted tooth be replaced with an implant?
Yes. If conditions allow, we place the implant immediately after the tooth is extracted. Otherwise, we wait until the wound has healed. How implant treatment works
