When tooth extraction becomes necessary

Fear of tooth extraction is common for everyone. Extraction is considered only when all other treatment options have failed, which is why the specialists at Masych Clinic in Ivano-Frankivsk remove a tooth only when it is truly necessary.

In reality, removing a tooth is not as frightening as it may seem.

Reasons for extracting a tooth:

  1. Wisdom teeth.
  2. Teeth that have not fully erupted.
  3. Indications for orthodontic treatment.
  4. Root caries: Sadly, decay affecting the root cannot be restored.
  5. Unsatisfactory root canal treatment.
  6. Broken tooth root or root fracture.
  7. Fractured tooth root.
  8. Baby teeth that haven’t fallen out while permanent teeth are erupting.

High-quality treatment in complete comfort

At Masych Clinic, quality combined with comfort comes first, which is why we offer all types of anesthesia. Brave patients can opt for local anesthesia, while those with heightened sensitivity or anxiety can undergo extractions under medical sedation. Tooth removal with nitrous oxide is also available for a calm and relaxed experience.

Before removing a tooth, the surgeon thoroughly gathers the medical history, examines the patient, and analyzes CT imaging to understand the tooth’s root anatomy and bone positioning. This careful assessment allows the surgeon to determine the procedure’s difficulty.

We recommend a professional dental cleaning before tooth extraction. Removing plaque and tartar thoroughly reduces bacteria in the mouth, ensures a clean surgical field, and helps prevent complications like infection of the extraction site and the development of alveolitis.

  5. Extractions under a surgical microscope allow for accurate identification and removal of root pieces.
  6. Every extraction is performed with consideration for future implantation in the area, or with the option of immediate implantation right after tooth removal.
  7. A highly careful approach to extraction, preserving the bone structures. This is especially important for future implantation in the area.
