Modern dental surgery means high quality, painlessness, and safety of procedures performed in the patient’s oral cavity, such as surgical removal of wisdom teeth or other teeth. In the dental office, the dental surgeon has at their disposal the latest technologies, systems, and equipment, which guarantee high treatment effectiveness and a completely pain-free procedure for the patient.
Tooth extraction is often performed in dental offices in Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine, but always as a last resort. Doctors do not remove teeth that can be treated, except in cases where the patient chooses to do so or cannot afford root canal treatment for a premolar or molar.
Possible reasons for tooth extraction include severe infection, periodontal disease, and the inability to perform orthodontic treatment for a misaligned bite.
Tooth extraction usually occurs as follows:
The gum is separated from the tooth.The tooth is grasped with extraction forceps and loosened from the fibers holding it in the jaw by a rocking motion. The jawbone is slightly stretched, and the tooth becomes loose.The tooth can now be removed.A well-maintained wound after extraction should heal in about 7 days. It is very important that the clot formed in the socket remains in place as long as possible until it naturally falls out. How long pain lasts after extraction depends on the speed of tissue regeneration. Additionally, it depends on which tooth was extracted.
Despite advances in modern dental surgery and various treatment methods, situations still arise when a tooth must be removed. The dental surgeon first conducts a discussion and consultation with the patient, evaluates the oral cavity, and sometimes performs additional tests to ensure that the tooth cannot be preserved.
Indications for tooth extraction include:
Inflammation of the pulp and hard tissues.Canal obstruction.Insufficient tooth tissue for reconstruction.Periodontal disease conditions.Recurrent inflammation of periodontal tissues.Tooth roots outside the socket.Fractures or cracks in the teeth.Problematic wisdom teeth.
Other indications for removing individual teeth may include orthodontic treatment. In some cases, tooth extraction is required to install orthodontic braces.
Surgeons at the “SA-NATA” clinic network emphasize following the appropriate recommendations after extraction, as this is the only way to return to normal function without risking injury or pain. Eating after tooth extraction is possible only once the patient regains full sensitivity (approximately 2 hours later). As we know, temporary numbness may occur after the procedure due to the anesthesia used. Patience is required, and one should not give in to emotions. Anesthesia symptoms should disappear about an hour after the procedure.
It is probably unnecessary to mention how important proper oral hygiene is after the procedure. The mouth should not be rinsed until the end of the day of the procedure. However, in the following days, focus on careful brushing of the teeth after extraction (avoiding the area where the tooth was removed). Healing is accelerated if patients abstain from tobacco and alcohol for a week after the procedure and limit physical activity.
The visit will not involve pain, only some discomfort. It is important to remember that tooth extraction under local anesthesia does not cause pain. It is also generally recommended to come to the dentist’s office with a companion who can support the patient and help them get home.

Complex tooth extraction is performed in cases of incorrect positioning, damage, or disease, as well as the presence of gum or bone tissue disorders. This procedure is indicated in the following situations:
When the gum for some reason prevents the tooth from erupting, extraction becomes a necessary measure to prevent gum disease and possible complications.
If a tooth is damaged to the extent that the crown is missing or severely broken, extraction can be difficult. In such cases, the use of special instruments may be required, as well as incisions in the gum or bone tissue.
Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common procedures that may require surgical intervention. This is because wisdom teeth often grow in incorrect positions. In some cases, an incision in the gum and possibly in the bone tissue may be necessary.
If roots remain in the jaw, additional surgical intervention may be required to divide the roots into parts and carefully extract them. In the presence of cysts, tumors, or inflammation around the tooth, extraction can be more complex. In such cases, the dentist may recommend performing the procedure in several stages to minimize the risk of spreading infection and damaging healthy tissues. At the Sa-Nata clinic, you will receive high-quality care in the most complex cases, restoring health and comfort. We guarantee that each stage of treatment will be carried out with great attention to patient safety.
