Oral surgery
Thanks to advancements in tooth-preserving treatments, the need to remove natural teeth has significantly decreased. However, there are still cases where tooth extraction becomes necessary due to the condition of the tooth or because of a decayed or inflamed tooth area.
After a brief healing period, the restoration of the dentition can be achieved using advanced implantation techniques. Simple tooth and root extractions are typically quick and painless procedures. Once numbness has set in, the tooth is carefully removed from the alveolus using small instruments or, in some cases, special forceps, ensuring the patient feels no discomfort.
For more complex cases, such as ingrown roots beneath the gums or impacted wisdom teeth, the process involves careful excavation under local anesthesia. After accessing the tooth, it is gently lifted out, and the wound is precisely closed to promote proper healing.
Planning an implant to replace a removed tooth is a common practice, provided there is an adequate amount of bone and gum tissue. However, after a tooth is extracted, a crater forms at the site, and bone resorption in the area often occurs. This can be aesthetically unappealing and may negatively impact future dental implantation.
Alveolar preservation is a technique involving immediate bone replacement at the extraction site, or gum replacement when necessary. This procedure minimizes tissue loss at the site of the removed tooth, ensuring better conditions for future implantation and improved aesthetics
We emphasize that all interventions performed in our clinic are completely painless, even under local anesthesia. However, in some cases so-called INTRAVENOUS SEDATION is performed by our anesthesiologist.
Patients with extreme anxiety are sedated, after which the patient will not remember what happened during sedation, making the intervention pleasant. Sedation is also useful in patients with a high degree of pharyngeal reflex, or whose underlying disease requires greater specialist attention.
