How many implants do you need?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While dentists always prefer to save natural teeth, extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to repair, or when wisdom teeth are causing problems. Extractions are also performed to prepare for other treatments like implants, dentures, or orthodontics. A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible above the gum line. The dentist loosens the tooth with an instrument called an elevator, then removes it with forceps. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth has broken off at the gum line or has not fully emerged (impacted). This involves making a small incision in the gum and sometimes removing a small amount of bone to access the tooth. Modern extraction techniques are gentler than ever, with most patients reporting that the procedure was easier than they expected. The socket typically heals within one to two weeks, and the dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery.

Yes. Krakow is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 2-4 days in Krakow. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
The procedure itself is painless under local anaesthetic — you will feel pressure but not pain. Afterwards, mild to moderate soreness is normal for 2-3 days and is well managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
Most patients feel significantly better within 2-3 days. The socket takes 1-2 weeks to heal over with gum tissue. Full bone healing takes 3-4 months, which is relevant if you are planning an implant.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot in the extraction site is dislodged, exposing the bone. Avoid drinking through straws, spitting forcefully, and smoking for 3-5 days after extraction. These are the main preventable causes.
Krakow combines EU-regulated dental care with prices 40-60% lower than the UK. The city has a strong medical tradition through Jagiellonian University, excellent flight connections, and is one of Europe's most affordable and beautiful cities to visit.
Both cities offer EU-regulated dental care at similar price points. Budapest has a longer dental tourism track record and more established clinics. Krakow is newer to the scene but growing fast, with slightly lower living costs and a charming Old Town. Flight times from London are nearly identical.

Those prices can be a shock, I know. I just built a package for someone needing 6 crowns — £4,800 in the UK vs £1,340 total trip cost in Istanbul, including flights and a week's hotel. Want me to check your numbers?
Wisdom tooth extraction in the UK costs £200-600 per tooth privately. Abroad, it's £50-150. But flying for wisdom teeth has specific considerations. Here's the full picture.
