Extractions
Unfortunately, the extraction of a tooth or molar is sometimes unavoidable.
We don’t do it lightly, but sometimes there’s no other option than to extract a tooth or molar. There can be various reasons for such an extraction. In most cases, the tooth or molar is too severely damaged. This can cause pain. Sometimes it’s difficult to clean the molar properly—something we often see with wisdom teeth. It may also be necessary to create space for an adjacent tooth or molar.
Teeth are something to take good care of. That’s why we only extract a tooth if there’s truly no other solution. We determine this in part using X-rays. If it really is necessary, it can often be done the same day. Otherwise, we’ll schedule a new appointment.
Of course, we extract the tooth under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain at all. Sometimes we need to stitch the gums after the procedure. For this, we use dissolvable stitches.
After a tooth is extracted, an empty space will naturally be left in your mouth. Sometimes it’s better—or simply more aesthetic—to fill that space. We’ll advise you on the best way to do that.
Minor surgical procedures
The idea that surgical procedures are performed in a familiar environment gives you peace of mind.
You can also visit our practice for the following minor surgical procedures, among others:
- Gingivectomy – removing excess gum tissue
- Mucoperiosteal flap – the extraction of a tooth or molar in a difficult situation where the gum tissue needs to be lifted to give the dentist better access to the tooth that needs to be removed.
- The removal of wisdom teeth that are only partially erupted or have not emerged at all
- The removal of damaged or loose teeth or molars
Implantology
Choose the best…
Sometimes teeth or molars need to be replaced. Every situation is unique in this regard.
Implants offer a beautiful and long-lasting solution when a tooth is missing. With an implant, the natural tooth root is replaced by an artificial root—essentially a type of screw that is placed into the jawbone. A crown can then be attached to this artificial root.
Implants are also a great solution for problems with wearing dentures, especially if you experience daily pain or discomfort. The most common approach involves placing two implants in the lower jaw, onto which a bar (metal rod) is attached. A “click” denture is then made to fit onto this bar. Because the denture clicks onto the bar, it stays securely in place, providing excellent comfort and stability
