The Extraction Process

The extraction process begins with a thorough examination and X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition and the surrounding bone structure. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring the patient feels minimal discomfort during the procedure. In a simple extraction, the surgeon uses specialized instruments to loosen the tooth and carefully remove it from the socket. However, in more complex cases, such as wisdom tooth removal, a surgical extraction may be necessary, which involves making an incision in the gum tissue to access and remove the tooth.

In some cases, the oral surgeon may also place a dental bone graft, which helps prevent bone loss in your jaw or prep the area for a potential implant. Finally, stitches may be placed to help promote healing.

Gentler Extractions Using Revolutionary Piezosonic

Dental treatments have been continuously evolving and improving to best suit patient needs with great comfort and fewer complications. The newest technology in dentistry is the Piezosonic which is being offered at opal elite Polyclinic. 

Piezosonic is an ultrasound device that creates micro-vibrations to cut only the bone avoiding damage to soft tissues such as the gums, sinus membranes, and nerves.

The Piezo extraction technique is a more conservative approach to tooth extractions and can offer our patients a much more comfortable experience with excellent post-procedure outcomes.

Reasons for Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to prevent further complications and restore your oral health. There are several reasons why our Dubai Oral Surgeon may want to extract teeth as part of your personalized treatment plan, such as:

• Overcrowded teeth

• Irreparably damaged teeth

• Infected teeth

• Severly decayed teeth

• Teeth affected by gum disease

While the thought of undergoing a tooth extraction may be painful, the result will help reduce pain over time and resolve the underlying issue. If you’re experiencing any of the above dental problems, don’t wait to schedule an appointment with Dr. Mayyas. He’ll evaluate your oral health and determine the best course of action to alleviate your painful symptoms and prevent further complications.
