Removal of a tooth
Dentists try to save the tooth to the last, using various methods of treatment and restoration.
However, there are a number of cases when surgical extraction of a tooth is unavoidable, for example:
When a tooth is the cause of a cyst, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve, and otherwise it is not possible to remove the inflammation.
When there are signs of periodontitis in the acute stage, and the focus of inflammation cannot be removed without tooth extraction.
Preparation for prosthetics, if the tooth interferes with the restoration of the dentition.
Preparation for bite correction if the tooth interferes with the installation of braces and the movement of other teeth.
Preparation for dental implantation, if the tooth interferes with the installation of an implant or a future prosthesis.
Removal of wisdom teeth
If the so-called "wisdom tooth" is located in the dentition in a normal position and does not interfere, you should not get rid of it. However, the removal of the "eight" is necessary in the following cases:
The tooth erupted partially and inflammation began under the “hood” of gum tissues.
There is not enough space for the “wisdom tooth”, and it cannot stand exactly in the dentition.
The tooth is located in such a way that its hygiene is very difficult, and this is the risk of developing caries.

Resection of the root of the tooth
Resection of the top of the tooth root (apicoectomy) is a surgical method for removing foci of inflammation and infection along with the upper part of the tooth root. At the same time, the functions of the tooth are preserved. The operation is prescribed as a last resort when the infection has penetrated the root of the tooth and there are fears that it will develop further. This is a modern tooth-preserving operation, our dental surgeons specialize in performing apicoectomy.
The surgeon removes the affected tissue and removes the root tip of the affected tooth. The cavity is filled with a special material that restores tissue.
