Dental surgery
The lack of even a single tooth is a big medical problem. Less comfort in eating and speaking, and poor aesthetics – these consequences are quite easy to imagine for each of us. Unfortunately, these are not the only negative effects of tooth loss.
Tooth extraction using the Safe Healing Procedure:
After a tooth is removed, a cavity appears in the bone – an empty space that was previously filled by the root. Leaving this cavity unfilled is not a mistake as the wound will eventually heal. Often, however, complications arise during such healing. Sometimes the so-called “dry socket” – acute inflammation in the bone, which is very painful for the patient and sometimes even makes it impossible to open the mouth. After the bone is healed, the bone may also decrease significantly and its width decreases, which makes it difficult to supplement the lack with prosthetic work later.
In order to reduce the risk of complications and speed up the regeneration process, we have introduced procedures into our practice that allow for predictable healing results. After their application, we obtain the patient’s own high-quality bone, which fills the defect after the extracted tooth and is the basis for further procedures. In such a bone, implants are well suited, which allow for a quick reconstruction of the missing tooth.
Depending on the case, the following can be used:
- collagen cone,
- platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF and I-PRF) collected from the patient, which facilitates the formation of new blood vessels and stimulates the growth of bones and soft tissues,
- the patient’s own bone, obtained from the tooth that has been removed and properly cleaned, and then ground in a special grinder, which is individual for each patient.

Surgical removal of damaged or retained wisdom teeth
We also remove difficult cases of detained or damaged teeth deep in the bone. We use 3D examinations for this, which allow for proper planning of the treatment. Removal is painless due to the use of the best anesthetics currently available on the market. Above you can read more about the Safe Healing Procedure used in this case.

Sinus lift using the closed and open method
It consists in moving the mucosa away from the bottom of the sinus and placing a material in a pocket that replaces the bone along with the growth factors. The procedure is preceded by 3D diagnostics and performed under anesthesia. Convalescence is short and the patient returns to everyday life within 1-2 days, with the one recommendation not to carry heavy objects for 4 weeks and not to fly during this time. Sinus lift allows you to build up the bone where we need it to be able to place the implant in the maxilla.
Surgery during orthodontic treatment
Exposing the impacted teeth so that the bracket can be glued, orthodontic mini-implants, implantation during treatment after creating a place for a new tooth – these are some of the most frequently used procedures during team surgical and orthodontic treatment. The procedures depend on the individual treatment plan developed by the attending physician and are an indispensable element of it.
Gingivoplasty and covering gingival recessions
An aesthetic smile is not only the teeth, but also the “frame” of the gums for them. In some cases of comprehensive aesthetic treatment, we correct the gum line in such a way as to obtain a harmonious, eye-catching effect that will enhance the beauty of the smile. This procedure is also one of the so-called “Gummy smile”, that is, too much gum tissue on the crowns of the teeth.
In the event that the gum has lowered in the course of the disease (gum recession and root exposure have arisen), the problem is not only aesthetic, but can also cause unpleasant pain. To stop the disease progression and keep the tooth in the mouth, it is necessary to cover it again with the gum using a graft taken from the palate. The procedure is short, and the ominous word “transplant” does not refer to the extent of the procedure, but only to the place from which the gum fragment is taken – most of it is on the palate. Healing is very short, safe and does not limit the daily functioning in any way, if the patient follows the recommendations.
Extending clinical crowns
Caries is already under the gum, but there is a chance to rebuild the tooth? Nevertheless, we will try to save the tooth from extraction. For this, it will be necessary to slightly lower the bone level so that the place where the filling material meets the tooth is above the gum. Thanks to this, we extend the life of the tooth, giving hope for many years of keeping it in the mouth. Patients must remember about the perfect hygiene of this area.
Apical resections
If re-treatment of the root canal did not bring the expected result, in order to try to keep the own tooth in the oral cavity, resection is performed – cutting the root apex of the root with an incurable lesion. In the case of large lesions, after their removal, a material that replaces the bone is inserted in the place of the defect. The procedure is safe and is the last possible method of keeping the tooth longer in the mouth before its removal.
Pre-prosthetic preparation
If the alveolar bone on which the prosthesis rests has irregular bulges, sharp edges or an unfavorable shape, it should be slightly corrected so that the prosthesis is comfortable to wear, holds well and is completely painless.
Procedures in the field of surgical treatment of periodontal disease (open and closed curettage)
Periodontitis, or periodontal disease, is a common illness among smokers and diabetics. It also occurs in patients who fail to properly clean their teeth. Permanent inflammation leads to lowering of the bone level, followed by loosening and loss of teeth. To inhibit this process, teeth are cleaned of tartar and plaque that are below the gum level – curettage.
Prevention of occlusal disorders and speech defects (excision of the frenulum of the tongue or lip
Too thick frenulum of the lip, or too short frenulum of the tongue are the reasons why speech and bite defects may develop. In this case, the child’s painless excision of the frenulum is performed to allow the correct development of the craniofacial face. Fruity-flavored anesthesia effectively distracts from the procedure being performed.
