Wisdom teeth in Naples
Wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons tourists and visitors seek dental care while in Italy. If you've been told your wisdom teeth need removal (or if you're experiencing pain, swelling, or repeated infections), we can assess and treat you in a single visit in most cases.
Dr. Luca Marcato performs all oral surgery using panoramic X-ray or CBCT cone-beam scan to plan the procedure precisely. Most wisdom tooth extractions are completed under local anaesthesia in 30–60 minutes. You leave with written aftercare instructions in English and our WhatsApp contact for any post-operative questions.
Oral surgery for tourists in Naples
Combining surgery with your stay: Simple extractions and most wisdom tooth removals leave you comfortable enough to continue normal tourist activities within 2–3 days. We schedule the appointment to leave you as much recovery time as possible before you travel. Let us know your departure date when booking and we will plan accordingly.
Naples is a popular destination for dental tourism. Oral surgery in Italy costs significantly less than equivalent procedures in the UK, Ireland, the USA or Northern Europe, with the same standards of safety, materials and technique. Studio Marcato uses certified protocols and sterile single-use instruments for all surgical procedures.

Can you remove my wisdom teeth while I'm visiting Naples?
Yes. Most wisdom tooth extractions, including surgical removals, can be completed in a single appointment. We perform the procedure under local anaesthesia, give you written post-operative instructions in English, and arrange a follow-up contact if needed. Many of our oral surgery patients are tourists who travel specifically for treatment.
Will I be in pain during the extraction?
No. All oral surgery at Studio Marcato is performed under local anaesthesia, which fully numbs the area. You may feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is normal for the first few days and is managed with the medications we prescribe.
How long does recovery take after wisdom tooth removal?
Simple extractions: most patients feel comfortable within 2–3 days. Surgical removals of impacted teeth: typically 3–5 days of noticeable swelling and discomfort, with most people back to normal within a week. We give you detailed written aftercare instructions in English.
Is swelling after oral surgery normal?
Yes, especially after surgical extractions. Swelling typically peaks 48–72 hours after the procedure and then gradually resolves. Ice packs in the first 24 hours help. If swelling worsens after day 3 or you develop fever, contact us immediately.
What should I watch for after surgery?
Contact us if you experience: worsening pain after the first 2–3 days (possible dry socket), significant swelling that increases rather than decreases, fever, persistent bleeding, or difficulty opening your mouth. We provide our emergency WhatsApp number with all post-surgery instructions.
Do you speak English during the procedure?
Yes. Dr. Luca Marcato and our team speak English before, during and after the procedure, and explain each step as it happens.
