Surgical tooth extraction is an advanced procedure that is performed in cases where conventional tooth extraction is insufficient and the surrounding tissues or bone must be intervened in order to remove the tooth from the mouth. This method is generally preferred when it is necessary to remove teeth that have crooked roots, are broken and remain in the bone, or are impacted.
Teeth that are too deep to be removed with a regular extraction or that are infected are removed in a controlled manner using surgical techniques, ensuring that the pain is relieved and the surrounding tissues are not damaged.
At İşman Dental, surgical tooth extraction is performed under sterile conditions with expert dentists and modern equipment. The procedure is planned by prioritizing the patient’s comfort and healing process, and the treatment is completed with minimal trauma.
Why Is Surgical Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Some teeth, even if they are visible in the mouth, may be positioned in a way that they cannot be removed with a normal extraction. Especially teeth that have been in the mouth for a long time and have integrated with the bone around their roots may damage the surrounding tissues when they are attempted to be removed with conventional extraction methods. In addition, broken tooth roots, teeth around cysts or tumors, and impacted teeth may require surgical intervention.
At İşman Dental, such situations are detected through detailed examinations and X-rays in advance. Surgical planning is made by carefully evaluating the position of the tooth, its root structure and its relationship with the surrounding tissues. In this way, the risk of the procedure is reduced and the healing process progresses more quickly.
How to Prepare Before the Procedure?
Before surgical tooth extraction, the patient’s general health status is assessed. In particular, special precautions are taken before the procedure for patients with systemic diseases, use of blood thinners, or allergies. In cases where it is deemed necessary, the physician plans the extraction by taking the patient’s systemic condition under control with medical consultation.
At İşman Dental, detailed information is provided before the procedure. The patient is mentally prepared for the process by explaining what they will feel during the extraction, what they need to pay attention to during the healing process, and possible risks. Local anesthesia is applied to the patient before the procedure and it is ensured that they do not feel any pain during the procedure.
How is Surgical Tooth Extraction Performed?
During the procedure, the area where the tooth is located is first completely anesthetized. Then, a small incision is made in the gum to reach the tooth and, if necessary, a minimal window is opened in the surrounding bone tissue to ensure visibility of the tooth.
In cases of fractured or multi-rooted teeth, the tooth is removed by breaking it into several pieces and the infected tissues in the area are cleaned. After the procedure, the wound area is sterilized, a few stitches are placed if necessary and the healing process is started. Since surgical extraction is a procedure that requires precision and attention, it is very important that it is performed by experienced hands for the healing process to be comfortable.
At İşman Dental, this procedure is performed with modern surgical instruments and patient-specific planning. Our aim is to remove the tooth in the safest way without damaging the surrounding tissues and to ensure that the patient returns to their normal life as quickly as possible.
What is the Recovery Process Like?
The recovery process after surgical tooth extraction may be a little longer than traditional extractions, but with proper care and recommendations, this process can be quite comfortable. After the procedure, swelling, mild pain or bruising may occur in the area, but these conditions are temporary. These symptoms can be controlled with painkillers and ice applications recommended by the doctor.
Paying attention to oral care, using the prescribed antibiotics and medications regularly, and avoiding extreme hot and cold foods will accelerate healing.
At İşman Dental, patients are given a detailed care plan after the procedure, and at the first check-up, the healing status of the area is evaluated and necessary guidance is provided.
What are the risks of untreated teeth?
If teeth that require surgical extraction are not treated in a timely manner, they can cause chronic infections in the mouth, the surrounding bone tissue to melt, and the neighboring teeth to lose their health. Impacted or partially impacted wisdom teeth in particular can both disrupt the jaw structure and cause frequent inflammation and recurring abscess formation in the mouth.
At İşman Dental, these risks are shared with the patient in detail. When necessary, risky teeth are detected early with advanced imaging methods and the extraction process is planned to ensure oral health. Because an invisible problem in the mouth can lead to serious jaw structure disorders or systemic health problems over time.
Surgical Tooth Extraction Prices
The cost of this procedure may vary depending on the location of the tooth, root structure, duration of the procedure and the level of surgical intervention. The costs of simple surgical extractions and complex extractions, such as the removal of impacted teeth from the bone, are different. In addition, in some cases, the need for stitches or additional imaging techniques after the procedure are among the factors that affect the price.
At İşman Dental, the entire treatment plan is presented to the patient in a transparent manner before the procedure. All necessary information is conveyed in detail and the patient is informed and included in the process to avoid any surprise costs during or after the procedure.
