What is tooth extraction? Dental extraction, commonly referred to as tooth extraction, is the removal of teeth from the tooth socket. It is the treatment of choice when the tooth is already beyond repair and is infected or when the tooth is extremely mobile due to periodontal disease. Tooth extraction is also known as an uncomplicated extraction. This is performed on teeth that are clinically visible in the oral cavity. The procedure starts with the administration of local anesthesia. Upon numbing of the tooth and surrounding structures, the gums are detached from the tooth using a hand instrument called a gum separator. This is to facilitate the access of the next set of hand instruments called elevators. It is a common misconception that when dentists extract the tooth, they pull it out forcefully; however, this is not the case. Dentists use elevators to raise and wiggle the tooth out of the socket using small, controlled movements. When the tooth is already mobile in the socket, the tooth is picked up using the forceps. Immediately after the tooth extraction, the socket is scraped with a small spoon-shaped instrument to make sure that no debris or diseased tissues remain inside. The tooth socket is also flushed with sterile saline solution to guarantee its cleanliness. Slight pressure is then applied to the socket to stop the bleeding usually by biting on a small piece of gauze for 30 minutes. To ensure proper healing after the extraction, it is also advisable to rest for at least 24 hours, therefore avoiding any strenuous activities. Sucking, such as using a straw or puffing a cigarette, should be avoided because the negative pressure can stimulate bleeding. There is a long list of dos and don’ts after tooth extraction and it is best to follow your dentist’s instructions to avoid further complications.

Zirconia Dental Bridge Zirconia is a ceramic material that has revolutionized modern dentistry. Because of its exceptional qualities in terms of strength and aesthetics, Zirconia is now being widely used by dentists to produce fast and high quality dental veneers, crowns, bridges and even implants. What are the advantages of Zirconia? STRENGTH:  Zirconia is very durable and is very hard to crack. It is actually the strongest material used in dentistry today. AESTHETICS: Zirconia is a white ceramic with good translucency features. It resembles the natural tooth enamel because of its color and translucency. It can also be further enhanced aesthetically by applying layers of porcelain to achieve the desired look, color and features of real teeth. NON-METALLIC: Zirconia is not a metal. It does not rust, oxidize or chemically corrode.  Unlike Porcelain fused to metal bridges, you don’t have to worry about the black metal outlines showing up on your gum lines after a couple of years.BIOCOMPATIBILITY:  Zirconia is compatible with living tissue. It is not toxic and is very well tolerated by the body. It does not cause allergy.TEMPERATURE RESISTANT: Zirconia resists hot and cold temperatures very well. Because of this, hypersensitivity normally experienced by patients with other materials is greatly reduced.STAIN RESISTANT: Zirconia does not easily stain compared acrylic and other composite ceramics.FAST AND PRECISE: Zirconia dental bridges are made with high levels of precision and in a very short period of time because they are designed and manufactured in our clinic with state-of-the-art CADCAM equipment.
