Surgery
The most common dental surgical procedures are tooth extractions and dental implants.
Diode lasers and piezotomes reduce risks during surgery, shorten the recovery period, and significantly alleviate potential pain after the procedure.
Dentists at Sigma Dent perform the following surgical procedures/manipulations:
- Simple tooth extraction
- Complex tooth extraction
- Atypical tooth extraction
- Tooth-preserving surgeries: root apex resection, root amputation, hemisection
- Jaw cyst removal: cystotomy, cystectomy
- Removal of fibromas, cysts, and other benign oral cavity tumors
- Dental implant placement
- Dental implant removal
- Sinus lift
Indications for tooth extraction include: complete destruction of the tooth crown with no possibility of restoration, root fractures, teeth with significant mobility, and orthodontic reasons (most often wisdom teeth, which may be misaligned or fail to erupt).
The extraction of an impacted tooth (a tooth that cannot fully erupt) is a complex procedure requiring a qualified approach. Any tooth can be impacted, but most often, it’s the wisdom teeth (eighth molars). Such teeth frequently provoke cyst formation (inflammatory focus), necessitating their removal. Impacted wisdom teeth extraction is often prescribed during orthodontic treatment (braces) to create space for the alignment of other teeth.
When you hear about mandatory “wisdom tooth” extractions, it usually refers to teeth that cannot erupt.
Our surgeons handle this task painlessly and effectively using diode lasers and piezotomes.
Tooth Extraction for Future Implant Placement
Proper tooth extraction is essential for successful implantation. To correctly extract a tooth that will later be replaced by an implant, the procedure must be carried out gently, without damaging the surrounding bone. To preserve the bone, ensuring tight integration with the future implant, the dentist may immediately add bone material to fill the bone defect.
Therefore, before deciding on tooth extraction, you should consult with an orthopedist and implantologist who will handle the implant placement and subsequent prosthetics.
Volodymyr Stolyarets is a surgeon-implantologist and orthopedist.
He can discuss all implantation and prosthetic options with you in advance, even before the tooth extraction.
We ensure a high level of sanitary safety: all consumable materials are disposable, and instruments undergo thorough disinfection and sterilization, eliminating the risk of infection.
