Tooth extraction
Extraction is a last resort. It applies to a deeply destroyed tooth, a fracture below gum level, or irreversibly lost bone support. Before that, we always assess whether the tooth can be saved with root canal treatment, a build-up or a crown.
Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth often erupt at an angle, only partially, or not at all. This leads to recurring inflammation, pressure on the neighbouring tooth and decay on its distal surface. Surgical extraction is planned from a radiograph showing the roots in relation to the surrounding structures.
Minor surgical procedures
Operculectomy for an inflamed gum flap over an erupting tooth; gingivectomy to reshape the gum before a restoration; apicoectomy for chronic inflammation around the root tip when root canal treatment alone is not enough.
After the procedure
You receive clear verbal and written instructions for the first 24 hours and the days that follow, plus a phone number in case of questions. A follow-up appointment is scheduled according to the case.
