Dental surgery in Estedent
In Estedent, our target is to save every tooth. Unfortunately in some cases, extraction is obligatory, to maintain other teeth in a good condition. This is where a dental surgery is needed.
Cases, in which extraction is needed:
- Huge loss of dental tissues
- Broken and injured teeth
- Impacted teeth
- Excessive inflammation or neoplasm in the tooth area
Dental surgery in the complex therapy
Dental surgery is not only teeth extraction. Some procedures are supplementary in the whole therapy, together with orthodontics, implantology or periodontal procedures.
Surgical procedures are:
- Tooth hemisection
- Crown elongation
- Frenulectomy, frenulotomy
- Bone regeneration around the root (GBR)
- Covering recessions
- Gingivectomy - removal of excess of the gingiva
- Gingivectomy - removal of excess of the gingiva
- Bone and / or gingiva augmentation
- Removal of abscess and other inflammation forms from the jaws
- Corticotomy
- Root resection
- Orthodontic miniscrew or other TADs (temporary anchorage devices)
Extraction of the third molars „wisdom teeth”
Extraction of the third molars „wisdom teeth” is a common procedure. In most cases, we qualify them for the extraction because of the inflammation or before the orthodontic treatment.
Position of those teeth is unfavorable because their are far behind other teeth, what makes them hard to clean thoroughly. That is why, carries progress unnoticeable and may result in pulp inflammation. Also eruption might cause pain, swollen gums or problems with mouth opening – jaw-lock.
Very narrow jaws, don’t have enough space for all teeth. Third molars, which erupts last, contribute to malocclusion and occlusal problems.

Bone augmentation
When a patient has lost his tooth long time ago, the bone recede. Bone augmentation, regeneration, is an obligatory procedure to expand the bone volume before the implantation. That is why, the best solution is to regenerate bone just after the tooth extraction. In the tooth socket, biomaterial is placed, which imitates human bone. When the healing process is done, we have a got place for the implant. We use top biomaterials from the Biobank.
Extractions
Teeth with inflammation, which are too damaged to save them with a root canal treatment, contribute to the bone loss around the tooth, bacteria accumulates and may cause swollen cheeks or gums. Extent inflammation and abscesses enables full anesthesia, that is why it is important to extract tooth, qualified by the dentist as fast as possible.
Receded bone, without the regeneration, causes its extensive loss. As longer we wait with bone augmentation, the longer, less predictable and more expensive the procedure will be.
Root resection and hemisection are procedures which save a tooth from the extraction and allows bone to remain around the tooth.
Benefits of the dental surgery:
- Gingivectomy is a procedure for the patients with an excessive exposition of the gingiva - „gummy smile”. Removing of the excessive tissue, improves aesthetics of a smile
- Orthodontic miniscrews and corticotomy are procedures which facilitate orthodontic treatment
- Crown elongation allows a dentist to make a proper and long lasting restoration, when a cavity is big, below the level of a gingiva
- Extraction of a tooth with inflammation, eliminates a pain
- Bone regeneration allows implant placement in the desired and the best position
- Recession coverage lowers the sensitivity from the exposed roots and improves aesthetics
Dental surgery in Estedent:
- In our office we have a computer tomography (CBCT) to precisely asses the extent of the procedure, duration, cost, probable complications and plan how to avoid them. Before extraction this three dimensional x-ray allow a surgeon to check how many roots a tooth has and their shape, what makes an extraction more predictable
- Broad spectrum of dental and periodontal surgeries
- High quality equipment and materials
- Our surgeon, DDM Adam Kaczor, with cooperation with a French implant brand Global D, leads surgical training for other dentists. He trains and makes surgical guides for doctors from the whole country. Surgical guide is a tool for surgeons, to plan precisely an implant position on the basis of an computer tomography (CBCT). Surgical guide lowers the risk of complications, shortens the procedure and allows planning the best position for the future crown.
Dental surgery step - by - step:
1.
First visit is consultation and diagnosis. Qualification whether tooth should be extracted or restored
2.
Three dimensional diagnostics - computer tomography (CBCT) gives all information about the amount of the roots, their shape and position
3.
Anesthesia to eliminate the pain. A patient can feel only pressure and touch
4.
Extraction. A simple one can last few seconds but a complicated one can last even an hour.

FAQ about the dental surgery:
The extraction is performed with a local anesthesia so it does not hurt. A patient can feel only pressure and touch. When anesthesia finishes, some pain may occur. Than a painkiller is recommended.
It depends on the tooth’s position, the procedure may last for a few seconds, minutes or even an hour.
It depends on doctor’s recommendations. When the patient is healthy and the extraction is simple there is no need for the antibiotic.
It depends on many factors, such as general health, obeying the recommendations after the procedures (no smoking and drinking, avoiding warming the post surgical area). Also length and extent of the procedure is important. In many cases, patients are not swollen.
No. During the procedure a dentist decides whether stitches are necessary. In simple extraction, stitches are not needed.
It depends on the type of a job, whether it is physical or desk job. After more extent surgeries, regeneration is needed. After simple procedures, you can go to work immediately.
