Oral and Dental surgery

Although a standard visit to the dentist usually involves the need for a new filling or taking care of oral hygiene, there are cases when a slightly larger intervention is necessary, namely a surgical procedure. Dental surgery is usually associated with tooth extraction, but it includes more medical procedures. Regardless of the type of procedure, we always perform it in our clinic with local anesthesia, making the process completely painless for the patient.

Thanks to innovative technologies, our team is able to provide patients with faster, more precise, and more effective treatment, resulting in better outcomes and increased patient safety. Our diagnostic equipment is of the highest quality, allowing for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning. Keeping the well-being and comfort of our patients in mind, we use painless and stress-free anesthesia methods, including computerized anesthesia –The Wand, or nitrous oxide sedation. In addition, discomfort during injection is eliminated by using anesthetic gel. We use modern technology during procedures, such as CBCT computer tomography or tissue regeneration control.

We offer our patients procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction, root resections, and frenectomies, among others.

FAQ

01
Is tooth extraction safe?

Tooth extraction is a basic surgical procedure that is performed by experienced doctors and surgeons. In Medicadent we use precise tools and high-quality diagnostic equipment. The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, and computerized, painless anesthesia is used.
02
Is tooth extraction safe during pregnancy?

Undoubtedly it is important to maintain a good oral hygiene during pregnancy, and therefore – undergo teeth procedures if the situation requires it. Although the most convenient time during pregnancy to perform all procedures within the oral cavity is the second trimester of pregnancy, treatment can be initiated at any time during pregnancy if it is required. Pregnancy itself does not hinder tooth extraction or even root canal treatment – it only requires the use of appropriate safety measures. Moreover, it is the lack of dental treatment that can ultimately lead to problems such as gestational diabetes, premature birth, pre-eclampsia, or intrauterine growth restriction.
03
When should wisdom teeth (also known as "third molars") be removed?

There is no need to remove wisdom teeth if there is no discomfort and they are properly positioned in the dental arch. However, the removal of wisdom teeth is necessary when there is no room in the oral cavity and they are useless for biting (these are orthodontic indications). Indications for wisdom teeth extraction also include advanced tooth decay, problems with tooth eruption, and associated recurrent inflammatory conditions. Also, when the tooth is partially or completely retained, it should be removed to prevent the development of inflammation, pain, or contributing to the decay of neighboring teeth. In our clinic, the decision to remove the wisdom teeth is made by the dentist based on a dental examination and X-ray..
04
Is it necessary to replace a missing tooth?

Yes, it is recommended to replace the missing tooth as soon as possible. Losing a tooth may not seem like a problem, especially if it is not in the front of the oral cavity. However, the lack of a tooth is not just a cosmetic defect. Even the loss of one tooth affects the entire stomatognathic system. It can lead to the displacement or tilting of adjacent teeth and bone loss.
05
Should I prepare for surgical procedures?

Before surgical procedures, a surgical consultation is necessary, during which the doctor will order an X-ray, called a panorama or computer tomography, which will allow for the assessment of the tooth’s position and roots relative to the bone. Patients at increased risk (including those with heart disease, circulation, diabetes, etc.) depending on their symptoms, often have to undergo additional prophylactic measures (such as antibiotic prophylaxis) or withdrawal of anticoagulant drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acard), for example.
06
What should I do after the procedure?

Since tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia, the patient may experience numbness, have difficulty swallowing or speaking, and may complain of lack of sensation in the area where the procedure was performed. Until the effects of the anesthesia have completely subsided, the patient should refrain from eating and should also be careful when drinking hot beverages. Immediately after the procedure, the patient should not eat or drink for 2 hours, and the patient should not rinse their mouth for the rest of the day, taking into account the fresh blood clot forming in the wound after the tooth extraction, which is the best natural . During the week following the procedure, the patient should also refrain from drinking alcohol, smoking, and physical exertion, and medication should be taken after consulting with a doctor based on their individual recommendations.
07
What discomforts can appear after a surgical procedure?

After a surgical treatment in the oral cavity, symptoms such as redness, tenderness and pain of the tissues, swelling and slight bleeding may occur. Typically, they persist for several days. In some patients, there may also be jaw clenching, especially after longer procedures. If worrisome symptoms persist for a longer period of time, it is necessary to consult with the doctor.
