Tooth extraction in Grodno

When is tooth extraction necessary? (Indications):

Modern dentistry strives to preserve the tooth by any means possible. However, in some cases, removal becomes the only correct solution to protect general health:

• · Severe tooth destruction by caries, when restoration is impossible.
• · Complicated periodontitis in acute or chronic form, threatening bone tissue.
• · Incorrect position of the wisdom tooth (“figure eight”), causing pain, inflammation or damage to neighboring teeth.
• · Orthodontic treatment (extraction to create space in the dentition).
• · Fracture of the tooth root as a result of trauma.
• · Tooth mobility of the III-IV degree in severe forms of periodontitis.
• · The presence of cysts or granulomas that are not amenable to therapeutic treatment.

Our technologies and approach - why it’s safe and comfortable with us:

• 1. Accurate diagnosis: Before any procedure, we perform digital X-ray diagnostics (visiography) or computed tomography (CT). This allows you to assess the condition of the roots, the position of the tooth relative to the nerves and sinuses, plan the operation and eliminate risks.
• 2. Effective anesthesia: We use modern anesthetics and their administration techniques. The anesthesia process is gentle, and the tooth itself and surrounding tissues are completely “frozen.”
• 3. Atraumatic removal: Our surgeons are skilled in gentle removal techniques using micro-instruments. This minimizes damage to bone tissue and gums, which is critical for subsequent implantation.
• 4. Complex removal: We specialize in the removal of impacted (unerupted) and dystopic (irregularly positioned) wisdom teeth, as well as teeth with crooked roots.

Stages of the tooth extraction procedure:

• 1. Consultation with a dental surgeon and diagnostics. Examination, history taking, x-ray, CBCT, planning.
• 2. Anesthesia. Selection and administration of pain relief.
• 3. Tooth extraction. Carefully separates the tooth from the gum and removes it with minimal intervention.
• 4. Hole processing. Antiseptic treatment, if necessary, application of an anti-inflammatory drug, suturing (to speed up healing).
• 5. Recommendations. Detailed instructions for caring for the socket during the postoperative period.

What after deletion? Future plan:

An empty socket is not the end of treatment, but the beginning of the path to restoring the integrity of the dentition. Long-term absence of a tooth leads to displacement of neighboring teeth, malocclusion and bone atrophy. We offer modern solutions:

• · Implantation is the gold standard, which restores the tooth along with the root.
• · A bridge is a classic solution based on adjacent teeth.
• · Removable denture - a temporary or permanent option if other methods are not possible.

During your consultation, our surgeon together with an orthopedist will help you choose the optimal method of prosthetics for you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

B: Does it hurt to remove a tooth?

No. Modern anesthesia completely eliminates pain during the procedure. Discomfort may be felt after its effect wears off, but it is easily managed with the doctor's recommendations.

B: How long does the removal take?

Simple removal - 15-30 minutes. Complex (wisdom teeth) - from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.

Q: Does it hurt to have wisdom teeth removed?

A: Modern anesthesia completely eliminates pain during surgery. After the intervention, the doctor will prescribe effective painkillers that will reduce discomfort to a minimum.

Q: How long does it take to recover from a complex removal?

A: Swelling and discomfort usually disappear within 3-5 days. Complete healing of the hole takes several weeks. We will provide detailed care instructions.

Q: Is it possible to do a CT scan immediately during the consultation?

A: Yes, our clinic has its own 3D computed tomograph. If necessary, an image can be taken immediately, which will save your time and allow the doctor to make the most accurate diagnosis.

B: Do I need sick leave?

Yes, if necessary, we will issue a certificate of incapacity for work.

Q: Is it necessary to remove a tooth if there is no pain?

A: Not always. For example, an impacted wisdom tooth may not hurt, but negatively affects the adjacent tooth, causing caries or root resorption. During your consultation, the surgeon will show you this on an image and explain all the risks.

B: What can and cannot be done after removal?

We provide detailed recommendations (about tampons, eating, cold, rest, hygiene) in printed form. The main thing is to follow these rules to prevent complications (alveolitis).
