Tooth Nerve Removal in Almaty: Indications, Stages, Cost

The nerve is removed when the pulp is inflamed or dead and a regular filling can no longer help. The dentist opens the tooth cavity, passes instruments through the canals, irrigates them with a solution, and fills them tightly. The number of canals and their shape differ from tooth to tooth, so the treatment plan is made after an X-ray. Then the tooth is restored with a crown or filling, otherwise the walls may crack.

How much does root canal treatment and canal filling cost

The cost of the procedure consists of anesthesia, canal treatment, and their filling. The number of canals in a tooth varies: incisors and canines usually have one, premolars have one or two, molars have two or three, sometimes four. Retreatment and removal of filling material from previously filled canals are calculated separately. The exact amount is given after examination and X-ray, during the consultation. Initial examination and treatment plan — 0 ₸.

By tooth group

Root canal treatment options by tooth group

The number and shape of canals differ for each tooth group, and this determines the scope of work and the instruments used.

Instruments and materials for this type of treatment, laid out on a light surface — an illustration for the section "Pain and swelling after the procedure"

Incisors

Front teeth with a single root. The dentist accesses the canal from the inner, lingual, or palatal side of the tooth to preserve the front surface. In upper incisors, the canal is usually single and straight; in lower incisors, the canals are narrow, there are often two, and they frequently merge, so the dentist checks an intraoral X-ray.

Canines

The canine differs from the incisors by having the longest root in the arch. Its canal is most often single and straight, but it must be negotiated to a greater depth. The dentist controls the working length with an apex locator and an X-ray to treat the canal down to the root apex and fill it densely.

Premolars

Premolars located between the canine and the molars. They have one or two canals, and sometimes these diverge at an angle. The dentist looks for a second canal on the X-ray in advance: an untreated branch would remain a source of recurrent inflammation.

Molars

First and second molars with several roots. Upper molars usually have three to four canals, and one of them can be difficult to find; lower molars have two to three canals, and they are curved. In complex anatomy, the dentist orders cone-beam computed tomography and works under a microscope, and after treatment the tooth is often restored with a crown.

Wisdom teeth

Third molars, or wisdom teeth, are the last in the arch, and access to them is limited. There can be from one to four canals, and the roots are often curved or fused, so the number of canals cannot be determined without an X-ray. If the tooth is severely damaged or does not participate in chewing, the dentist discusses extraction with the patient instead of treatment.

Stages of root canal treatment

Consultation: dentist and patient at a screen with an X-ray — illustration for the section "Diagnostics and treatment plan"
Step 01

Diagnosis and treatment plan

The dentist examines the tooth, checks the reaction to cold and probing, and takes a periapical X-ray. For complex canal anatomy, refers for cone beam computed tomography. Based on the results, makes a plan and gives the cost.

Preparation: the assistant lays out sterile instruments, the dentist puts on gloves — illustration for the Anesthesia section
Step 02

Anesthesia

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The dentist selects the drug taking into account age, health status, and tolerance. If necessary, a nerve block is used to anesthetize the area around the roots.

The treatment stage itself: the dentist's gloved hands working in the oral cavity — an illustration for the section "Tooth isolation"
Step 03

Tooth isolation

The working field is isolated with a rubber dam — a latex sheet that separates the tooth from saliva and canal irrigation solutions. This reduces the risk of reinfection of the canal.

Follow-up visit: the dentist checks the result with a mirror while the assistant holds the saliva ejector — illustration for the section "Access to the tooth cavity"
Step 04

Access to the tooth cavity

Hard tissues are opened with a bur, and access to the canal orifices is formed. The dentist removes affected dentin and remnants of the old filling if the tooth is being retreated.

End of appointment: the doctor next to the patient goes over aftercare instructions — illustration for the "Root canal treatment" section
Step 05

Nerve removal

The neurovascular bundle is extracted from the canals with special instruments — pulp extractors or files. Then the canals are passed to their full working length, which is determined with an apex locator.

Step 06

Canal treatment and irrigation

The canal walls are enlarged and smoothed so that the filling material fills them hermetically. The canals are irrigated with antiseptic solutions, removing debris and tissue remnants. Between appointments, a temporary medication may be placed in the canal.

What is depulpation and why is the nerve removed?

Depulpation is the removal of the neurovascular bundle from the tooth cavity and canals. The procedure has many names, but the essence is the same: the contents that hurt and react to irritants are removed.

What is inside a tooth

Under the enamel and dentin lies a cavity that continues as narrow canals to the root apex. Inside is the pulp: loose tissue with vessels, nerves, and cells that restore it. Through the root apex, arteries, veins, and nerve fibers reach it, so the pulp is connected to the whole body. While the tissue is alive, it nourishes the dentin from within and signals damage — with a brief pain to cold, hot, or sweet. Inflammation changes the picture: the pain comes on its own, persists at night, and radiates to the temple or ear. Based on the condition of the pulp, the doctor decides whether the tissue can be preserved or must be removed. This is also the reason for the difference in approaches — from treatment without intervention in the cavity to complete removal of the contents of the canals.

When the pulp has to be removed

  • Irreversible inflammation: the pulp is damaged beyond recovery, the pain does not subside, and the tissue gradually dies.
  • Necrosis: the contents of the tooth have already died, decay is occurring in the canals, an odor appears, and a fistula may form on the gum.
  • Infection beyond the apex: an X-ray shows a cyst or granuloma, and the source of inflammation extends beyond the root into the bone tissue.
  • Trauma: a chip or fracture involves the pulp chamber, and the pulp is exposed — without root canal treatment, inflammation develops.
  • Preparation for a prosthesis: sometimes an abutment tooth is reshaped for a crown, and its contents are then removed for prosthodontic reasons.
  • Deep caries: the dentin is destroyed to the point that only a thin wall remains to the pulp chamber, and the risk of pulp exposure is high.

How many canals are in different teeth

The number of canals in a tooth is determined by nature, and each type of tooth has its own. This affects how difficult the doctor's work will be.

Canals of incisors, canines, and molars

Tooth groupTypical number of canalsWhat matters during treatment
Mandibular incisors1–2Canals are narrow and often merge
Maxillary incisors and canines1The canal is straight but long
Premolars1–2Canals sometimes diverge at an angle
Maxillary first molar3–4One canal can be difficult to locate
Mandibular molars2–3Canals curve to the sides
Wisdom teeth1–4Wide variation, diagnostics are needed

Why the number of canals changes the course of treatment

Each canal must be negotiated along its full length, cleaned, and filled separately. The more canals there are, the longer the appointment and the higher the risk of missing a branch. Work goes faster in incisors and is more painstaking in molars: the canals are curved, and the orifice is sometimes hidden under plaque or an old filling. A microscope with 25× magnification and cone-beam computed tomography help here: the scan shows how many canals are actually present and where they run. Sometimes a single canal splits in two near the apex — this is not visible on a regular X-ray. If a canal is not found and not treated, the inflammation returns, and then the dentist decides what to do next. The cost of treating such a tooth depends on the number of canals and how passable they are, so the price is given after the examination. It is not quoted in advance: one patient has a single straight canal, another has four with curves.

How does root canal treatment in a front tooth differ from that in a molar?

The difference starts with anatomy. Anterior teeth usually have a single root, while posterior teeth have two or three. This means different access, visibility, and instruments.

Access and visibility in anterior teeth

The front tooth sits straight in the jaw, and its root is usually single and almost without curves. The dentist approaches the canal from the side of the lips or tongue, and the view here is wider than deep in the mouth. There are fewer obstructions: neighboring teeth do not block the field, and the crown is not as massive. In a front tooth, the canal is usually straight, and the instrument moves through it predictably. But there are traps here too: thin walls, old fillings, hidden branches. A microscope with 25× magnification helps to see the canal orifices and not miss an additional canal. If the root is curved or the canal is calcifying, the view stops being simple, and the dentist makes the decision based on the X-ray. Sometimes a front tooth has two canals instead of one — this is visible on cone-beam computed tomography. Then the volume of work increases, and the approach changes.

Treatment of posterior teeth

  • Access: in a molar, entry is made from the chewing surface, and reaching the canal orifices means going through a thick crown, which takes longer and requires careful preparation.
  • Number of canals: usually two, three, or four, and each must be located, cleaned, and filled separately, so the amount of work depends on the number of canals and their anatomy.
  • Visibility: the canals run deep at an angle, the orifices may be merged or blocked, and without magnification it is easy to miss an extra passage that will later cause a complication.
  • Instruments: narrow and curved passages require small, flexible files, while wide orifices need different ones, and the set is chosen based on the X-ray, not a template.
  • Risk: the walls between the canals are thin, and over-preparation can cause a perforation, so the dentist works with reference to the CT scan and the clinical picture.
  • Time: a molar takes more visits than a front tooth, but the exact number depends on the condition of the tissues and how the tooth responds to treatment.

Specifics of nerve removal in a wisdom tooth

Third molars are the last in the row. Access to them is limited, the roots can be curved, and the canals sometimes merge into one. That is why treatment of these teeth follows its own rules.

Why wisdom teeth are harder to treat

The wisdom tooth is wedged between the adjacent second molar and the ramus of the mandible. Direct access is hindered by the anatomy itself: the mouth opens to a limited angle, and the instrument works almost blindly. The roots of wisdom teeth are often curved, diverge to the sides, or fuse together. The canals are narrow — sometimes there are three, sometimes four, and sometimes they merge into a single wide passage. Such a passage is difficult to negotiate to the apex and easy to perforate. A microscope and cone-beam computed tomography help to see the direction of the canal and assess the position of the roots before treatment begins. But even with them, some wisdom teeth remain questionable for treatment. In that case, removing the nerve in a wisdom tooth takes more time than in an anterior tooth. The doctor decides: sometimes it is wiser not to take the risk and to refer the patient to a surgeon.

When a wisdom tooth is extracted rather than treated

  • Severe destruction: the crown is destroyed below the gum line, the walls will not hold a filling, and there is nothing left to rebuild the tooth with — in that case treatment no longer makes sense.
  • Tilt or impaction: the wisdom tooth lies at an angle, presses against the second molar, or remains in the bone, and it is impossible to reach the canals with an instrument.
  • Inflammation around it: pericoronitis, swollen gums, pus in the tissues — the acute condition is treated first, then the question of extraction is decided.
  • Questionable prognosis: when the canals cannot be negotiated or the root wall is damaged, the dentist and patient weigh the benefit of treatment against the associated risk together.
  • Position near a nerve: the roots sit close to the mandibular canal, and any intervention carries a risk to the sensation of the lip and chin.
  • No antagonist: the upper wisdom tooth does not meet the lower one, the tooth gradually over-erupts, and there is no reason to keep it.
  • Orthodontic plan: when preparing for bite correction, wisdom teeth are often removed so they do not interfere with shifting the rest of the row.

What is root canal retreatment and when is it needed?

Sometimes a tooth that has already been treated starts to hurt again. This is not always the previous dentist's mistake: canals are a complex system, and there are various reasons to return to them.

Reasons to return to a previously treated tooth

  • Incomplete cleaning: part of the canal was left untreated, infection remained there, and over time it makes itself known.
  • Leaky filling: the material did not fill the canal all the way to the apex, bacteria get in and trigger inflammation again.
  • Instrument fracture: a thin file broke off inside and blocks treatment of the canal; then the dentist decides whether to monitor or retreat.
  • New infection: even a well-filled canal can be affected by deep decay, a crack, or a chipped tooth wall.
  • Cyst or granuloma at the apex: a dark formation is visible on the X-ray that requires repeat intervention, sometimes surgical.
  • Pain or swelling: if time has passed after treatment and the gum hurts, swells, or a fistula appears, the visit should not be postponed — the inflammation itself is the main concern here.

How root canal filling removal is performed

Retreatment begins with imaging: cone-beam computed tomography shows what remains in the canals and exactly where the problem is. Then the dentist opens the tooth, removes the old filling, and extracts the material from the canals — this is what root canal retreatment involves. The work must be done in a narrow space, sometimes around a broken instrument fragment, so magnification is essential here. A microscope with 25× magnification helps visualize the canal orifices and branches that are not visible to the naked eye. After cleaning, the canals are irrigated with solutions, dried, and re-obturated — all the way to the apex, hermetically. It is not always possible to negotiate the canal to the end: if it is severely curved or blocked by old material, the dentist may suggest an apicoectomy. The decision depends on the clinical picture, not on the desire to retreat at any cost. There are also cases where retreatment will no longer help — then extraction is discussed. The timeline and number of visits are also determined by the dentist based on the condition of the tooth.

How root canals are filled and why a follow-up X-ray is needed

After preparation, the canal is filled with material so that the space is not left empty. A follow-up X-ray confirms that the filling has reached the desired point. It is also used to assess whether there are voids or material extruded beyond the apex.

Materials and methods of canal filling

  • Gutta-percha: the main material for filling the canal. It is heated or inserted cold together with a sealer that fills small branches.
  • Placement methods: manual, machine, and thermal. The choice depends on the canal anatomy and the clinical picture; the dentist decides.
  • Microscope: 25× magnification helps to see the canal openings and lateral branches that are not visible to the eye. This is the clinic's equipment.
  • Length control: the working length is checked with an apex locator and an X-ray. Without this, the material may extend beyond the apex or not reach it.
  • Cost of treatment: the number of canals and the complexity of the case affect the final amount. The exact figure is given after examination and X-ray.

What the follow-up X-ray shows

The X-ray is taken immediately after filling. It shows whether the material reaches the root apex, whether there are voids, and whether there is extrusion beyond the canal. If the filling is incomplete, the dentist decides whether the procedure needs to be repeated. Sometimes observation is sufficient. Cone-beam computed tomography provides a three-dimensional picture when a regular X-ray is not enough. Follow-up visits, if needed, are discussed in advance. The follow-up X-ray is stored in the chart: it is used to compare the condition of the tooth years later. Without it, it is impossible to assess how the treatment went. The X-ray does not guarantee that the tooth will last a long time — this depends on the clinical picture and care. The X-ray shows how tightly the material filled the space and whether it follows the curves of the canal. If voids remain near the apex, infection can enter there, and then the question of re-treatment is considered. Sometimes the material extends beyond the apex — this is also a reason for observation. The dentist correlates the X-ray with the complaints and the examination, rather than looking at the film in isolation.

What equipment is used for root canal treatment?

Work inside the canal is performed blindly: the space is narrow, and the curves are unpredictable. Instruments help to see, measure, and avoid going beyond the root apex. Without them, some branches would remain untreated.

Apex locator and magnification

An apex locator is an electronic device that determines the position of the root apex. Clips are attached to the file and to the lip, a weak current passes through them, and the device indicates when the tip of the instrument has reached the physiological foramen. This is more accurate than relying on X-rays alone: an X-ray gives a flat image, while the canal may curve to the side. In complex cases, when the canal is sclerosed, curved, or patency is questionable, magnification helps. A microscope with 25× magnification provides a three-dimensional image and illumination deep within the cavity. The dentist can see the orifice, cracks, and remnants of old material. Cone-beam computed tomography builds a three-dimensional model of the tooth: it is used to assess the number of canals, their course, and proximity to the sinus or mandibular canal. The 3Shape intraoral scanner is used when a crown is planned after treatment — it captures a digital impression. A laser is used for treatment and disinfection of the cavity. After the appointment, instruments are sterilized in class B autoclaves. What exactly is needed in a particular case is decided by the dentist: the set of instruments depends on the clinical picture.

Instruments for negotiating root canals

  • Hand files: thin steel instruments with cutting edges. They are used to find the canal opening and pass the first millimeters when the canal is narrow or curved.
  • Rotary files: nickel-titanium instruments on a handpiece. They bend along the canal, so there is less risk of the wall being cut or the instrument breaking.
  • Irrigation: the solution is delivered into the canal with a syringe and a thin needle. It washes out debris and dissolves organic tissue; without this, the canal cannot be cleaned completely.
  • Ultrasonic tip: vibrations enhance the effect of the solution in branches and hard-to-reach areas. It is used after hand and rotary preparation to flush the lateral canals.
  • Paper points: used to dry the canal before filling. The point is inserted to the stop, absorbs moisture, and the dentist can see whether the canal is dry.

Is it necessary to restore a tooth after pulp removal and how?

Restoration of a tooth after pulp removal is decided individually. Let us examine why the walls weaken and what types of restorations are used. The choice depends on how much tissue remains and what the load on the tooth is.

Why a depulped tooth loses strength

After the nerve is removed, the tooth loses its internal blood supply and innervation. Nutrition from within stops, the dentin becomes drier and more brittle, and the enamel loses its support. Walls thinned by decay or a crack are left without cushioning. Chewing forces are distributed differently: previously they were absorbed by the pulpal complex, now they fall on the remaining hard tissues. The fewer walls that remain, the higher the risk of chipping or root fracture. Molars are especially vulnerable, where the pressure is greatest. That is why it is often recommended to reinforce the tooth, but the decision depends on the clinical picture: how much tissue remains, how thick the walls are, and whether there are cracks. Sometimes a filling is enough; in other cases a crown or inlay is needed. The dentist assesses this using an X-ray and examination. Without restoration, the tooth may split during chewing, and then it cannot be saved. Reinforcement does not make it last forever, but it reduces the risk of fracture. The prognosis is determined by the dentist after diagnosis.

What to keep in mind

Key points

Root canal treatment is not a separate procedure, but part of treatment that has a cause. The nerve is removed when the pulp is irreversibly inflamed or has died, not "just in case." The number of canals varies among different teeth, and this determines the scope of work. An anterior tooth often has one canal, a molar has three or four, and in a wisdom tooth the anatomy can be complex. Sometimes canals are curved, merge, or branch, and then magnification and CT help. Canal filling and a follow-up X-ray are mandatory steps: without them, it is impossible to confirm that the cavity is sealed along its full length. Retreatment is needed when the X-ray shows incomplete filling, when pain appears, or when inflammation develops again under a crown. After root canal treatment, the tooth becomes more brittle, so restoration is not cosmetic but a way to distribute the load. The decision on the method is made by the dentist based on the clinical picture, not on a single symptom.

What to Discuss with the Dentist

At the appointment, it is worth asking how many canals the tooth has and how they look on the X-ray. Clarify whether CT is needed in your case specifically and what it will show. Ask how the canal will be sealed and why that material was chosen. Separately discuss how the tooth will be restored after treatment: with a filling, inlay, or crown. This depends on how many walls remain and how great the chewing load is. If this is a repeat procedure, ask them to explain what was wrong last time and what is planned to be changed. Clarify which sensations are considered normal after the procedure and which ones mean you should come in outside the scheduled appointment. Ask how to care for the tooth going forward: which toothbrushes and interdental brushes are suitable, and whether additional products are needed. It is useful to understand how often the dentist wants to see you for follow-up visits and what exactly is checked at them. Write down the answers or ask for the plan in writing. That way there is less chance of forgetting the details.

Questions about root canal treatment

The cost of nerve removal in a tooth depends on the number of canals, their patency, whether retreatment is needed, and the filling materials chosen, so the price is not fixed. A single-canal front tooth and a three-canal back tooth require different amounts of work, and restoring the tooth after the procedure may be charged separately. The total is also affected by whether a temporary or permanent filling is placed right away, and whether retreatment of a previously filled canal is required. The exact amount is given by the dentist during an examination after an X-ray, and current price ranges can be found in the pricing section of the page.

Yes, removing the nerve and placing a filling can be done in a single visit if the canal is well sealed and there is no active inflammation beyond the root apex: the dentist removes the pulp, cleans and hermetically fills the canals, and then restores the crown of the tooth. With complex canal anatomy, severe inflammation, or when monitoring is needed, treatment may be split into two visits, in which case a temporary filling is placed in between. How much it costs to remove a nerve and place a filling depends on the number of canals, their patency, and the filling material chosen, so the price is not fixed. The exact amount is given by the dentist after an examination and X-ray, and general price ranges are listed in the pricing section of the page.

How long a tooth lasts after nerve removal depends on the quality of the canal filling, how much healthy tooth structure remains, and how well the crown is sealed, because without a nerve the tooth becomes more fragile. If a canal is not filled all the way to the apex or the tooth walls are severely damaged, inflammation or a fracture may develop over time, which is why back teeth are often recommended to be covered with a crown. Regular check-ups and good hygiene help catch problems early, before they require retreatment. How much it costs to treat a tooth with nerve removal depends on the number of canals and the complexity of the work, and the amount is quoted by the dentist after an examination.

Tooth depulpation is the medical term for nerve removal, meaning the complete removal of the neurovascular bundle from the tooth chamber and root canals. The procedure is performed for pulpitis, periodontitis, or before prosthetic treatment, when the tooth needs to be made insensitive, and the cost of depulpation depends on the number of canals, their anatomy, and the filling method. The price of tooth depulpation includes cleaning the canals and filling them hermetically, but does not always include restoring the crown, so these stages are calculated separately. The exact amount is given by the dentist after an examination, and price ranges are available in the pricing section of the page.

Nerve removal in a front tooth is usually faster because incisors and canines often have a single, easily accessible canal, but front teeth are important for appearance. That is why after treatment it is especially important to restore the crown well so that it does not darken or differ in color, and if the nerve removal is done carefully and the canal is filled to the apex, the tooth can last a long time. Sometimes a front tooth changes shade after depulpation, in which case internal bleaching or a crown is considered. The dentist gives the price after an examination and X-ray.

Yes, nerve removal in a wisdom tooth is performed if the third molar has erupted, matters for the bite, and can be saved, but such teeth are often poorly positioned, have curved canals, and offer limited access. Treatment can therefore be difficult and require a microscope, and if a wisdom tooth is destroyed, does not participate in chewing, or harms neighboring teeth, the dentist may recommend extraction rather than treatment. The decision is made after a cone-beam CT scan, which shows the position of the canals and the condition of the surrounding tissues. How much it costs to remove a dental nerve in such a tooth depends on the number of canals and the difficulty of access, and the exact amount is given by the dentist.

The cost of a root canal and a filling is made up of the price of endodontic treatment, that is, cleaning and sealing the canals, and the cost of restoring the crown of the tooth. The more canals there are and the more complex their anatomy, the higher the total will be. The price is also affected by the filling material: whether it is temporary or permanent, light-cured or composite. How much it costs to remove a nerve and fill a tooth also depends on whether retreatment of a previously filled canal is required. The exact cost is given by the doctor after an examination and X-ray, and you can see current price guidelines in the prices section of the page.

Yes, in some cases treatment of a tooth with nerve removal can be done in one visit if the canals are well passable, there is no acute inflammation beyond the root apex, and the doctor is confident of a high-quality seal. Then in one appointment the pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and filled, and then a permanent filling is placed. But with complex anatomy, severe inflammation, or the need for observation, treatment is divided into two or more visits. How much treatment of a tooth with nerve removal costs depends on the number of canals and the stages of work; the exact amount is given by the doctor after an examination.

Not always: if the pulp is vital and there are no signs of inflammation, they try to preserve the nerve so that the tooth remains alive and less fragile, and nerve removal is indicated for pulpitis, periodontitis, severe destruction of the crown, or before prosthetics. The decision is made by the doctor after an examination and X-ray; sometimes additional diagnostics are required, because a painless course does not always mean there is no inflammation. How much it costs to remove a dental nerve depends on the number of canals, and the exact amount is given by the doctor after an examination.

After dental nerve removal, you should not eat for two to three hours until the anesthesia wears off, so as not to bite your cheek or tongue, and in the first days it is better to avoid very hot and hard food and to chew on the treated side. If the doctor has prescribed a painkiller, take it as directed, since mild soreness when biting may persist for several days. If the pain intensifies, swelling appears, or the filling interferes, you need to contact the clinic without waiting for the scheduled visit.

I hadn't been to the dentist for about three years after the pandemic. The extraction took about twenty minutes, and I barely needed any painkillers. Rustam told me right away what to expect. In my opinion, the price is fair for that kind of work...

I booked on the recommendation of a colleague from work. At first the silence in the waiting room threw me off — then I understood why (we had a good laugh about it at home later). The extraction took about twenty minutes, they were quick. The swelling lasted two days and went down, comparing it to what it was like before. Five out of five. They answered my questions even after the appointment, via messenger. They set up my file right away, asked for my passport only once, which had never happened anywhere before. They took me exactly on time, no waiting, the way it should be. They booked me for a convenient time, no 'come at nine and wait', no complaints about that. They called the next day to ask about the swelling, no complaints about that)

Before this, I'd only ever come in for a promo and never really got proper treatment — I had my wisdom tooth out, it was lying horizontally, and the socket healed up smoothly. Seems like a small thing, but that's what stuck with me. The swelling lasted two days and then went down. I'll be back for a professional cleaning. They messaged me the next day to ask how I was feeling — I'd never had that anywhere before)

My previous dentist moved away, so I had to find a new one. The tooth couldn't be saved, so it had to be extracted, and they scheduled me for a follow-up a week later (I asked twice to confirm). Ayaulym explains everything calmly and to the point. They gave me the price upfront, and nothing was added at the end — that's how it should be. It healed within a week, and I didn't get a dry socket. They gave me a printout with aftercare instructions and the doctor's phone number in case I had questions — a small thing, but much appreciated. They messaged me the next day to check how I was feeling. The socket was stitched up, and the bleeding stopped quickly. The office is bright and the equipment is new — thank you for that too. Shoe covers, a cup, a napkin — little things, but everything was there, and I want to mention that specifically.

I kept putting it off because of work, there was never time (we laughed about it at home later). I dragged it out for about a year and a half. Farrukh laid out the plan in detail. I have nothing to compare it to, but it felt right. The extraction took about twenty minutes, and the socket healed perfectly!

My previous doctor moved away, so I had to look for a new one, and I had to force myself to make an appointment. What won me over was that they didn't push anything unnecessary. Ayaulym explains things calmly and to the point. I had my wisdom tooth removed — it was lying horizontally — and they sent the aftercare instructions via messenger.
