Surgical treatment

Are you experiencing discomfort from impacted wisdom teeth or have sustained tooth damage? Consulting with a dental surgeon is imperative, as typical dental therapies may not adequately address these issues. Surgical dentistry primarily aims to preserve as much of the natural dentition as possible, maintaining the functionality of both the lower and upper jaws with minimal patient discomfort.

When should you consider seeing a dental surgeon?

Even those with a strong dental health regimen can encounter situations necessitating surgical intervention, including:

  • Jawbone fractures or damaged dental crowns resulting from accidents;
  • Soft tissue inflammatory conditions unresponsive to conventional treatments;
  • Congenital anomalies affecting the maxillofacial region;
  • Impacted or improperly aligned wisdom teeth requiring surgical removal;
  • Additionally, surgical evaluations are crucial for identifying and treating both benign and malignant oral tumors.

Important! Surgical treatment is prescribed if therapy does not allow for preservation of the tooth or the elimination of possible infection or damage to bone and soft tissues. Like any dentist, a oral surgeon has one goal: to preserve teeth, so removal is recommended in exceptional cases.

Indications for Surgical Treatment

Surgical procedures are undertaken when non-surgical treatments are not viable or have proven ineffective. Indications for surgery include:

  • Advanced purulent infections;
  • Tooth trauma;
  • Oral tumors of varying origins within the jaw tissues;
  • When non-surgical treatment options have been exhausted;
  • Risks to the patient's health and well-being;
  • Necessity for aesthetic dentistry and orthopedic interventions.

Each surgical operation is prescribed based on specific criteria, considering the patient’s age, diagnosis, chronic conditions, and overall health status at the time of the clinic visit.

Procedures such as complex tooth extractions are preceded by thorough examinations and radiographic imaging to mitigate the risk of complications.

The cost of tooth extraction varies with the procedure’s complexity and any additional requirements. Opting for a wisdom tooth removal procedure can effectively resolve issues, ensuring long-term relief.

What is included in the section on surgical dentistry?

Surgical dentistry is a huge field in which doctors eliminate a lot of problems.

The surgery is divided into sections:

  • Periodontology solves all the problems associated with gums, pathological periodontal pockets, and recesses of the gums. This also includes plastic surgery on the gums (excision of excess tissue or flap operations to increase the volume of the gums).
  • Dental diseases. In this section, surgeons are engaged in operations for the removal, replantation, and implantation of teeth.
  • Maxillofacial surgery. He is engaged in complex operations on the jaws and maxillary sinuses.

Types of surgical interventions in dentistry

In the clinic, the specialist performs the following operations:

  • opens dentinal abscesses;
  • removes teeth that cannot be restored and molars that endanger tooth health and dentition integrity, including 8-tooth extraction by surgeons;
  • removes bone tissue that has separated from the main one during the development of osteomyelitis;
  • eliminates cysts;
  • increases the missing volume of atrophied bone tissue;
  • performs plastic surgery of the maxillary sinuses (closes the canal after tooth extraction);
  • eliminates pathological neoplasms (tumors).

Surgical treatment is necessary for cutting the labial and sublingual bridles, as well as for the diagnosis of specific diseases of the oral cavity and jaw.

Modern dentistry allows you to save the tooth surgically. Dental preservation operations include:

  • resection (removal of a part of the root of a diseased tooth through the gum while preserving a crown suitable for aesthetic restoration);
  • hemisection (removal of one root on multi-root molars).

In addition, dental surgery includes prosthetics or implantation in those areas of the jaw where there are no dental blocks. Moreover, a good specialist can restore integrity both in the absence of 1-2 teeth and with complete adhesion.

Features of dental surgery in our clinic

Operations on bones and soft tissues in our clinic are carried out by specialists with many years of experience. The procedures are performed under anesthesia (local or general).

The equipment in the clinic allows you to make an accurate diagnosis. Within the walls of dentistry, X-rays, hardware examinations, and testing of sensitivity to anesthesia are carried out.

So, how much is it to remove a wisdom tooth? The tooth extraction price depends on the complexity of the manipulation. Before the operation, the specialist conducts a consultation at which the patient can ask clarifying questions. In the clinic, all prices are fixed, including the molar removal price. Any issue involving oral pathologies can be resolved. In our clinic, you can also contact a pediatric oral surgeon. And in a timely and painless manner. Contact us and see for yourself.
