Dental Surgery
Dental surgery at Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar in Baku is performed with 3D planning, local anaesthesia and a strict sterile protocol — calmly and under control.
Dental surgery covers the surgical treatment of a tooth and the tissues around it. It includes simple and complex extractions, wisdom tooth removal, sinus lift (raising the bone level in the upper jaw) and bone grafting. At Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar in Baku these procedures are carried out by implantologist Dr. Bakhtiyar Aliyev, planned on a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw.
Surgery is not always the answer. But if a tooth is badly broken down, if there is infection or a cyst at the root, if a wisdom tooth is coming in at an angle and pressing on its neighbour, or if the gum keeps swelling, you should be examined. Sometimes a tooth is removed to make room for an implant or for orthodontic treatment. The decision follows an X-ray or CBCT scan.
The process follows clear steps. First comes the consultation and examination, with a panoramic X-ray or 3D scan if needed. The doctor then explains the plan to you. The procedure itself is done under local anaesthesia — you feel pressure and touch, not pain. Afterwards the site is cleaned, stitches are placed if required, and you receive written aftercare instructions.
Some swelling and mild discomfort on the first day are normal. Your doctor may advise cold compresses, soft food, avoiding hot drinks and smoking for a while, and painkillers or antibiotics if needed. Try not to touch the area with your tongue and avoid strong rinsing on day one. If stitches were placed, we usually see you again for a short check-up a few days later.
Pricing depends on how complex the case is. A tooth extraction is 65 AZN, wisdom tooth removal from 110 AZN and an impacted wisdom tooth from 185 AZN. Bone grafting is 300 AZN and a sinus lift 500 AZN. The first visit with a treatment plan is 60 AZN and a 3D scan 100 AZN. The exact figure is given after examination.
For very anxious patients and selected surgical cases, treatment under sedation can be considered; suitability is assessed at the examination.

Frequently asked questions
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain while it is happening — only pressure and movement. Once the anaesthesia wears off there may be mild discomfort, and your doctor will suggest a suitable painkiller.
Do wisdom teeth always have to be removed?
No, not every wisdom tooth needs to go. If it has come through straight and causes no trouble, we simply monitor it. The decision is made after an examination and a 3D scan.
When can I eat normally again after an extraction?
Avoid hot and hard food for the first few hours. Soft, lukewarm meals are usually recommended for a few days. Your doctor will give you a timeframe based on your case.
Can an implant be placed right after the extraction?
Sometimes yes, but in other cases the bone needs time to heal first. The 3D CBCT scan shows which applies to you. Dr. Bakhtiyar Aliyev will explain the best option after the examination.
How much does an extraction cost?
A tooth extraction is 65 AZN, a wisdom tooth from 110 AZN and an impacted wisdom tooth from 185 AZN. The exact price is confirmed after the examination and X-ray.
