Gingivectomy

This procedure involves the removal of a portion of the gums for either medical treatment or aesthetic purposes.

Flap Surgery

Flap surgery is a surgical method used to treat periodontitis. During the procedure, a layer of the gums is lifted to clean the inflamed tissues, remove subgingival tartar, and reshape the bone and gums to eliminate deep pockets. Post-surgery, personal oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings are crucial.

Clinical Crown Lengthening

This surgical procedure is typically performed to expose more of the tooth’s healthy tissue above the gumline, often for better prosthetics. The gum contour is reshaped, allowing the tooth’s crown to cover more healthy tissue and restoring a natural gum appearance.

Soft Tissue Grafting

This surgical procedure involves grafting gum tissue where it is lacking. It is used to address gum recession (exposed tooth necks or roots) or to enhance the aesthetic appearance around dental prosthetics or implants. The grafted tissue may be taken from nearby areas or the palate, and artificial soft tissue substitutes can also be used.

Cyst Removal

This surgical procedure removes a cyst that has formed in the bone or soft tissues, often filled with fluid or pus. As the cyst grows, it can damage surrounding tissues. Initially, cysts may be asymptomatic but can later cause bone deformities, swelling, or small holes in the gums that release pus. Cysts are often discovered incidentally through X-rays taken for other reasons.

Removal of Impacted Teeth

Impacted teeth are fully developed teeth that cannot erupt properly due to various reasons, such as a lack of space in the dental arch or early removal of primary teeth. Fully impacted teeth (not visible in the oral cavity) that cause no issues may be left untreated. However, impacted teeth can lead to complications like cysts, tumors, or crowding of other teeth. During a consultation, a doctor will determine if removal of the impacted teeth is necessary.

Tooth Extraction

We perform atraumatic tooth extraction, a procedure that removes teeth in a way that doesn’t damage the tissue and bone around the tooth being extracted. We offer immediate replacement of the extracted tooth with a dental implant. This reduces the number of visits to the doctor, reduces stress, provides a single pain relief, has only one post-operative period and achieves significantly better results compared to a later implant.

Frequently Asked Questions

01
Is it dangerous to extract a tooth?

Tooth extraction is safe if performed correctly. Proper preparation for the procedure and thorough cleaning of the tissues after the tooth is removed are crucial. It is especially important to avoid traumatizing the surrounding tissues during the extraction and to ensure the area is cleaned properly afterward. When these steps are followed correctly, the tissues will regenerate naturally. An improperly performed extraction can result in a defect in the jawbone, potentially causing problems in the future.
02
Can a pregnant woman have a tooth extracted?

We recommend visiting the dentist before planning a pregnancy. Tooth extraction during pregnancy is not advised and is only performed in exceptional cases.
03
When should wisdom teeth be removed?

• When wisdom teeth are non-functional (not involved in chewing) and severely affected by decay, pulpitis, or periodontitis.
• When root structure or poor access makes quality endodontic treatment impossible.
• When partially erupted wisdom teeth cause recurrent soft tissue inflammation (pericoronitis).
• When impacted wisdom teeth could damage adjacent tooth roots or cause teeth crowding.
• When misaligned wisdom teeth injure the cheek lining during chewing.
• To reduce the likelihood of cyst formation around an impacted tooth or to remove a tooth with an already formed cyst.
• Wisdom teeth removal is recommended before starting orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners.
04
Is it necessary to replace an extracted tooth?

It is recommended to replace an extracted tooth to reduce wear on other teeth, which bear more pressure during chewing. This also helps to prevent bite misalignment and to stop jawbone deterioration.
05
Is preventive care necessary, and what are its benefits?

Preventive dental visits for both children and adults are recommended every 6-12 months. Regular checkups allow for the prevention of tooth decay, avoiding the need for expensive treatments by addressing issues sooner.
