Wisdom teeth and displaced teeth
Not only problematic wisdom teeth but also other displaced teeth can be surgically removed. However, it is important that adjacent structures such as nerves are not injured. In rare cases, a digital volume tomography (DVT) must be performed to determine the exact position of the teeth and thus not to injure any neighboring structures.
Surgical dental restoration
In the context of the focus search (inflamed teeth) or before planned indicated therapies such as radiation in the head and neck area, with implantation of heart valves or beginning of chemotherapy, surgical tooth restoration is indispensable to eliminate inflamed teeth and thus prevent late complications. I will be happy to discuss this topic with you by telephone.
Apicoectomy
Inflammatory processes in the area of the root tips (granuloma, cyst) must sometimes be removed to save the tooth. The root tip is cut and the tooth root is filled retrograde (backwards). The special and particularly gentle preparation of the lower part of the root canal by means of ultrasound (piezo) and subsequent root filling can achieve a long-lasting result in the majority of cases. If inflammatory processes continue, the root tip resection can be repeated or the tooth must be removed and replaced if necessary. More information can be found under Implantology.
Anaesthesia
All procedures are performed either under local anesthesia, twilight sleep or general anesthesia.
