Although we always prefer to save a natural tooth, sometimes extraction is the right — and only — option. At One Touch Dental in Thika, we offer simple and surgical tooth extractions for patients across Kiambu County. Our approach is gentle, efficient, and designed to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Simple extraction is performed on teeth that are visible above the gum line and loosened enough to be removed with forceps. It takes 5–15 minutes under local anaesthetic and costs KES 500 per tooth at One Touch Dental Thika. It is the most common type — used for heavily decayed teeth, mobile teeth due to gum disease, or teeth being removed to make space for braces.
Surgical extraction (KES 2,000) is required when a tooth is broken beneath the gum line, impacted (trapped in the bone), or has curved roots that prevent simple removal. Wisdom teeth — the third molars at the back — are the most frequently impacted teeth and the most common reason patients in Thika need surgical extraction. Impacted wisdom teeth cause recurring pain, swelling, and infections. Removing them permanently resolves the problem.
Reasons for tooth extraction in Thika include: severe decay that cannot be restored with a filling or crown; advanced gum disease causing a tooth to become too loose; a cracked tooth fractured below the gum line; an impacted wisdom tooth; overcrowding before orthodontic braces treatment; a failed root canal; or a dental abscess that has destroyed too much bone.
After extraction at One Touch Dental Thika, we provide clear aftercare instructions and, where appropriate, discuss tooth replacement options — dentures, bridges, or implants — so you understand the path forward. We always recommend replacing missing teeth to preserve your bite, jaw bone, and the position of neighbouring teeth.
