Question 1

What is a tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is completely removed from its socket in the jawbone. It is generally performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or impacting other teeth or oral health.

Question 2

When is tooth extraction necessary?

Accepted Answer

Tooth extraction is typically necessary when a tooth is damaged beyond repair due to severe decay, gum disease, or trauma. It can also be required in cases of infection or when a wisdom tooth causes problems.

Question 3

What is the process for biological tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

First of all, we numb the area using a local anesthetic. Then the tooth is removed gently with the selection of suitable instruments. Immediately after the tooth removal, we treat the area with laser application, thus sterilizing the wound, boosting the healing process, and decreasing the bleeding enormously. Additionally, we use the innovative method of PRF, which implements stem cells and growth factors in the extraction area. We cover the wound with PRF gel, just like we put a pool cover to protect it.

Question 4

Is tooth extraction painful?

Accepted Answer

No, the procedure is generally not painful due to local anesthesia.

Question 5

Can I eat normally after a tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

You should stick to soft foods and liquids for 24-48 hours after the procedure. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as your mouth heals, and you feel comfortable. Avoid hot and spicy foods.

Question 6

Is the treatment covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

It's best to check with your insurance provider.

Question 7

How can I prevent complications after tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Follow all post-procedure instructions given by your dentist. This typically includes taking prescribed medications, avoiding certain activities like smoking or using a straw, keeping the extraction site clean, and eating a diet of soft foods.

Question 8

Will I need a replacement for the extracted tooth?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the location of the extracted tooth, consider a replacement to prevent the shifting of other teeth and maintain functionality and aesthetics. Standard replacement options include dental implants, bridges, or dentures. Your dentist can advise you on the best choice for your situation.
