Surgical tooth removal
your health.
Surgical tooth removal is now a safe routine procedure - in the right hands.
If teeth can no longer be saved despite all efforts, removal is the last but sometimes necessary step to protect your oral health. The following cases make an operation necessary:
The affected tooth is first loosened and then removed from the jawbone using a forceps-like instrument or a lever. The wound is cleaned and the mucous membrane is sutured if necessary.
If the tooth is deeply damaged or breaks off, it may be necessary to remove parts of the bone in order to reach the root. After the procedure, the patient bites on a swab until the bleeding has stopped.
Wisdom teeth often do not erupt completely (impacted) and exert pressure on the neighboring teeth. If they are not removed in time, there is a risk of the following complications:
In the case of impacted teeth, an access is created via the gums and, if necessary, the bone after local anesthesia. The tooth is removed - if necessary after division - and the wound is sutured.
