The thought of a tooth extraction can be stressful, but at Unicare Clinic, we believe it doesn’t have to be. Our entire approach to dental care in Bali, especially for procedures like extractions, is designed around one core principle: your safety and comfort. This guide explains how our modern techniques and patient-focused care make the process as gentle and stress-free as possible.
When is an Extraction the Right Choice?
A tooth extraction is always considered a last resort, recommended only when a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved. Understanding these serious dental symptoms is the first step in knowing if this procedure might be necessary, which can be due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, a serious infection (abscess), or significant trauma.
The Unicare Approach: Prioritizing Your Comfort at Every Step
We have built our protocol around mitigating the two biggest patient concerns: pain and safety. Here’s how our patient-centered approach works.
A Clear and Honest Consultation
Every procedure begins with a thorough and transparent consultation. We use modern diagnostics, including digital x-rays, to get a complete picture of the tooth’s condition. Your dentist will then explain in clear, simple English exactly why the extraction is necessary, what the procedure will involve, and answer any questions you may have. You will be fully informed and in control before we proceed.
Advanced Pain Management
Our primary goal is a completely painless procedure. We use effective local anesthesia to fully numb the area, ensuring you will not feel any pain during the extraction, only a sense of pressure. For patients with higher levels of anxiety, we also provide a range of options for a comfortable procedure to help you feel completely relaxed and at ease throughout the entire visit.
Gentle and Precise Techniques
Our experienced dental team in Bali is trained in modern, minimally invasive extraction techniques. The goal is to remove the tooth as efficiently and gently as possible, preserving the surrounding bone and gum tissue. This careful approach not only makes the procedure more comfortable but also leads to a quicker and smoother healing process.
Strict Sterilization Protocols
Your safety is our absolute priority. We adhere to the strictest international standards for sterilization and infection control. All instruments are medically sterilized in an autoclave and opened from sealed pouches in front of you. Our clinical environment is maintained to the highest level of hygiene to eliminate any risk of infection.
The Extraction Process: What to Expect
On the day of your procedure, our team will guide you through a simple and calm process. After ensuring you are completely numb and comfortable, the dentist will gently loosen the tooth and remove it. The entire process is handled with precision and care. Afterward, you will be given time to rest before we explain the post-operative instructions.
Your Recovery: Ensuring a Smooth Healing Process
Proper aftercare is crucial for a comfortable recovery. Upon completion of your procedure, you will receive clear and detailed aftercare instructions to follow at home. Our team is also available via our 24/7 hotline to answer any questions you may have during your healing period.
Conclusion
While a tooth extraction is a significant dental procedure, the experience can be managed safely, comfortably, and without stress when you are in the right hands. The Unicare approach—combining advanced pain management, gentle techniques, and an unwavering commitment to patient comfort—is designed to eliminate fear and deliver the best possible outcome for your health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the tooth extraction procedure be painful?
You will not feel pain during the extraction itself. We use effective local anesthesia to completely numb the area. You may feel some pressure, but not sharp pain.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
A simple extraction can take as little as 20-40 minutes. A more complex surgical extraction (like for an impacted wisdom tooth) can take around an hour.
What is the difference between a simple and a surgical extraction?
A simple extraction is for a tooth that is visible and can be removed with forceps. A surgical extraction is needed for a tooth that is broken below the gumline or impacted and requires an incision.
I’m very scared. What are my sedation options?
We offer sedation options to help you relax completely during the procedure. Please discuss your anxiety with us during your consultation so we can recommend the best option for you.
How much does a tooth extraction cost in Bali?
The cost depends on whether it’s a simple or surgical extraction. We will provide a transparent, all-inclusive quote after your initial examination and x-ray.
What is a “dry socket” and how can I avoid it?
A dry socket is a painful complication where the blood clot in the extraction site is dislodged. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you avoid this, such as not smoking or using a straw.
How long is the recovery time after an extraction?
Initial healing takes about 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal, non-strenuous activities within a day or two.
Will I be given painkillers for after the procedure?
Yes, we will provide you with a prescription for appropriate pain medication to manage any discomfort during the first few days of healing.
Can I fly on an airplane after a tooth extraction?
It’s generally recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours after a simple extraction and longer after a surgical one to minimize the risk of bleeding or complications due to pressure changes.
Why should I choose Unicare Clinic for my extraction?
Our focus is on a patient-centered, gentle approach. Our experienced, English-speaking dentists use modern techniques in a sterile environment, prioritizing your comfort and safety above all else.
