Implant dentar Costesti: Etape, Preturi si Rezultate

What is dental surgery?

Dental surgery is the branch of dentistry that deals with treatments requiring surgical procedures on the teeth, gums and jawbones. These include tooth extractions, removal of wisdom teeth, treatment of cysts and placement of dental implants.

The aim is to restore oral health and prepare the teeth for other treatments.

Types of dental surgery procedures

Did you know that tooth extraction also falls under dental surgery procedures? So not all operations are as complicated as you might have imagined. Here are all the oral surgery procedures available to you at our clinic:

  • Tooth extraction – this is the most common procedure and is needed when your teeth are badly decayed, you have periodontal disease or you have suffered trauma and need them removed.
  • Extraction of impacted teeth – when you have a tooth trapped in the bone that has not erupted properly, surgery is performed to position it correctly in the arch or to remove it.
  • Wisdom tooth extraction – this is also a common procedure, recommended when the emergence of a wisdom tooth brings more risks than benefits.
  • Dental implant – when you decide to opt for a dental implant, you should know that you will undergo minor surgery: the dentist needs to open the gum and expose the jawbone in order to place the implant in the bone.
  • Crown lengthening – used in cosmetic dentistry, the dentist will reshape your gum or bone tissue to improve its appearance.
  • Gingivectomy – a surgical procedure that removes excess gum tissue; it may be recommended for therapeutic purposes when you suffer from gum problems, or for aesthetic reasons if your gums cover too much of the tooth.
  • Frenectomy – a procedure recommended especially for children, but it can be performed at any age to correct the position of the lingual frenulum.
  • Apicoectomy – if the infection persists after root canal treatment, you will need the tip of the tooth root removed surgically, allowing the dentist to clean and seal the canal properly.
  • Bone grafting – a surgical procedure used if your bone is too thin and you want a dental implant; a bone graft will first be needed to restore adequate bone volume.
  • Sinus lift – before a dental implant is placed, for safety it may be necessary to augment the sinus and create more bone volume; this is also done through dental surgery.
  • Gum graft – if you suffer from gum recession, a portion of tissue will need to be transplanted to the gum.
  • Periodontal surgery – performed when you suffer from periodontal disease and need treatment.
  • Microsurgery – oral surgery procedures are carried out with finer, smaller instruments, bringing you numerous benefits compared with conventional techniques.

So, whatever problem you have, you will find the solution at the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic! Don’t hesitate any longer – come in for a consultation!

Stages of a dental surgery procedure

1. Initial consultation

A clinical and radiological assessment is carried out to establish the diagnosis and treatment plan.

2. Preparing the patient

The procedure is discussed, pre-operative recommendations are given and local anaesthesia is applied for maximum comfort.

3. Performing the procedure

The dentist performs the surgical procedure (e.g. extraction, cyst removal, implant placement) using modern, minimally invasive techniques.

4. Post-operative care

Clear instructions are given for the recovery period and, if necessary, medication to aid healing.

5. Follow-up check

The patient returns to the clinic for monitoring and to check how healing is progressing.

Risks and complications of dental surgery

Dental surgery procedures can carry risks and complications, just like any other operation. These include:

  • Pain.
  • Bleeding.
  • Infection.
  • Dry socket (pain and inflammation at the site where a tooth was extracted).
  • Numbness.
  • Swelling.
  • Sensitive or loose teeth.
  • Damage to adjacent teeth.
  • Complications of the sinuses or the temporomandibular joint.
  • Fragments of tooth root.
  • Jaw fracture.

Don’t be alarmed – some of these are not serious and can be prevented if you follow our specialists’ instructions, and if needed you can always come back to the clinic to find a solution. At the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic, the medical team is highly trained, observes all hygiene standards and takes care of your health!

Recovery after dental surgery

You may feel pain and experience bleeding or swelling after the operation, depending on its complexity. However, the dentist will prescribe pain medication and give you all the necessary recommendations, so when you leave our clinic you will know exactly what to do after the operation.
Recovery time after dental surgery varies from person to person.
In general, you will feel as good as new after about a week, and within 1-3 days you will be able to return to school or work. If a more extensive procedure was needed, it will take a little longer to recover.

Depending on the procedure, recovery can take from a few days to a few weeks. Most patients resume their usual activities after 1–3 days, following the dentist’s instructions.

Extraction is recommended when wisdom teeth are impacted, partially erupted, cause pain or inflammation, or affect neighbouring teeth.

No. You should wait until the anaesthetic has worn off and follow a soft diet for the first few days to promote healing.

Bone augmentation is the procedure in which bone or special materials are added to rebuild bone volume. It is recommended when the upper or lower jawbone does not have sufficient density to support dental implants.

Careful oral hygiene, avoiding hard and hot foods, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling and following the treatment recommended by the dentist.

Yes, but a careful assessment is required and, in many cases, collaboration with your attending doctor. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease require additional precautions.
