We offer:
Tooth extraction
Root canal resection (apicoectomy)
Excision of small cysts (cystectomy)
Restoration of bone tissue (augmentation and sinus lifting)
Plastic surgery of the lip and tongue
Surgical treatment of gingival recession.
What is tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction is a surgical operation that requires great precision and care. Like all other operations, it also has a post-operative period.
If it is necessary to put stitches after extraction, the process can develop in 2
directions: first, the doctor uses self-absorbing threads and they do not need to be removed, or second, if the threads are not absorbed, then they are removed after 5-7 days.
Reasons why teeth require extraction:
There are several reasons:
Mechanical tooth damage (root fracture)
Inability to maintain a fallen tooth
During periodontitis, the third-fourth degree of tooth decay
Atypical location of wisdom or other teeth
Supercomplex and retained teeth
The need for orthodontic treatment
- Advice after tooth extraction
Do not smoke tobacco for at least 12 hours after tooth extraction
Avoid hot, spicy and cold food for a few days.
Do not attempt to clean the wound or apply ointment.
Refrain from physical training, going to the pool, sauna.
What is an apiectomy?
Apiectomy (root apex resection) is performed when endodontic treatment is not sufficient and requires surgical intervention. Root apex resection is performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made
on the gum, from which the apex of the root is cut and the infected tissues are removed.
What is an oral cystectomy?
During cystectomy, the cyst and its capsule are completely excised.
A cyst may develop as a result of infection or trauma and may go unnoticed by the patient for a long time.
What does bone tissue restoration (augmentation, sinus lifting) mean?
In patients who have lost teeth for a long time, most of them have bone loss. In order for the implantation to be successful, it is necessary to add artificial bone. Also, on the upper jaw, the low location of the bottom of the maxillary sinus is often revealed, during which it is necessary to introduce artificial bone into the sinus (sinus lifting). During sinus lifting, the sinus floor is raised with artificial bone, during which bone volume is created for implantation.
Lip and tongue bridle plastic surgery
The location, length and elasticity of the lip and tongue bridle are individual. That why some people have a short leash, while others have a long one. The mentioned defects can affect the development of the childs oral cavity and require surgical intervention. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia in one visit.
