Surgical Extraction

  • Surgical extractions involve removing a tooth that is too damaged, decayed, or impacted to be removed using traditional extraction techniques.
  • Extractions are usually performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons or general dentists with special training in this procedure.

A surgical extraction typically consists of the following steps:

  1. Anesthesia: During the procedure, the patient will be given local anesthesia to numb the area or general anesthesia to put them to sleep.
  2. An incision will be made in the gum tissue by the dentist in order to expose the tooth and the bone surrounding it.
  3. The dentist will remove the tooth and any bone that may be blocking its extraction. Sometimes, it may be necessary for the dentist to section the tooth into smaller pieces so that it can be removed more easily.
  4. Sutures are used to close the incision, and a dressing is applied to help promote healing.
  • In most cases, surgical extractions are performed on an outpatient basis and take between 30 minutes and one hour to complete.
  • Within a few days following the procedure, the patient may experience swelling, discomfort, and bleeding.
  • The dentist will provide instructions on proper care and pain management measures to help ensure the best possible outcome.
  • Patients with damaged or impacted teeth who cannot be removed with conventional methods can benefit from a surgical extraction.
  • It is important that patients discuss their options with their dentist and follow the proper care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome and a successful recovery.

  • Painkillers will be administered to you. There is no need to skip those as the afterpain can be quite intense. If you take your medications on time, you will be fine.

  • After a surgical extraction, we recommend resting for a few days.
  • Do not use force, including your mouth; refrain from spitting and rinsing your mouth as well.
  • You should refrain from brushing and flossing for at least 24 hours, and even after 24 hours, you should brush and floss lightly, avoiding the extraction area.
  • Nutritionally healthy and soft foods are recommended, along with fresh juices, such as porridge and soup.
  • Smoking, drinking, and any other activity that can slow the healing process should be avoided.

As soon as you have been without rinsing your mouth for 24 to 28 hours, make sure you rinse it with a solution comprised of warm water and a little salt. Your mouth will be disinfected in a very natural and subtle manner by this solution.

The orthopantomogram (OPG)

A panoramic X-ray may be recommended for orthodontic treatment, for the assessment of impactions such as wisdom teeth, or for an overall overview of the teeth and the supporting bone.
During an OPG, all of the teeth of the lower face are visualized on a single film, including both the upper and lower jaws.
This chart illustrates the number, position, and growth of all the teeth, including those which have not yet erupted.
As well as problems with the jawbone and the joint that connects the jawbone to your head, an OPG may also reveal problems with the Temporomandibular joint.

The advantages of an OPG
A panoramic image/OPG has the following advantages:
1. Comprehensive coverage of the jaw bone and teeth, including the TMJ (temporomandibular joint)
2. Radiation doses to patients are low
3. It is convenient to conduct the examination
4. It is convenient for patients with limited mouth openings
5. Producing the image takes a short amount of time
6. Patient education and case representation can be enhanced by the use of visual aids.
