    • Dentist reviews your dental and medical history

    • Advanced imaging is used to carefully plan the extraction

    • Goals of the procedure are discussed: removing the tooth while preserving bone and promoting healing using the latest technology to promote true healing.

    • The tooth is removed gently to protect surrounding bone

    • Area is thoroughly cleaned to remove infected tissue or bacteria using either a ceramic bur or Peizo (frequency)

    • Biocompatible materials may be used where appropriate such as A PRF, I PRF, collagen and bone graft (tricalcium phosphate)

    • Additional therapies applied if needed to support natural bone regeneration and healing including ozone for disinfection

  • Take painkillers as prescribed. Typical options:500mg Paracetamol, 200mg Ibuprofen and follow the instructions on the packet carefully.

    Bleeding & Oral Care - Minor oozing is normal for a few hours. If bleeding continues apply a gauze pad soaked in warm salt water to the area for 3 minutes and repeat 3–4 times if needed. If bleeding persists after this, contact the surgery on 07539916409.

    From the day after surgery rinse your mouth gently 2–3 times daily with warm salt water (½ tsp salt in a cup of warm water). Hold over the surgical area for a few seconds and repeat until the cup is empty. Rinse gently with warm water after every meal.

    Swelling & Comfort - Sleep with an extra pillow for the first 2–3 nights to reduce swelling. Use ice packs on the area for 20–30 minutes at a time (total 1–2 hours on the first two days). Swelling is usually worst on day 2–3 and may last a few days. Dab the provided OnGuard Doterra essential oil around (not directly on) the surgical site for comfort.

    Diet & Drinking - For the first 24 hours: avoid hot drinks (coffee, tea, soup) and strenuous activity. Eat only soft foods for the first week: boiled fish, scrambled eggs, pasta, rice, or mashed/blended foods. Continue vitamin supplements if prescribed, and maintain a balanced, calcium-rich diet. Avoid smoking and alcohol for 2 weeks after surgery, as these can slow healing.

    Oral Hygiene & Stitches - Do not brush the surgical area for at least a week. Avoid touching or exploring the area with your tongue. If you have a denture, leave it out if instructed until it can be re-lined.

    When to Contact the Surgery

    Call 07539916409 if you notice:

    • Swelling lasting more than a week

    • Numbness persisting longer than 6 hours

    • Excessive pain or bleeding

  • Ceramic Implants:
    This is generally considered to be the gold standard and offers the most long-lasting, effective and natural looking way for replacing teeth. A ceramic implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root. A dental implant is placed into your jawbone to provide a solid artificial ‘root’ for a tooth. The tooth will be appropriately shaped and colour-matched to blend in with your surrounding teeth. Once in place, they are as strong as a natural tooth and have the potential to last a lifetime.

    Bridge:
    Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge essentially bridges a gap in your mouth. It involves replacing a missing tooth with a false tooth which is bonded to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This will increase the loading on the supporting teeth and will compromise the strength of these teeth. This option is not always appropriate, especially if the adjacent teeth are not restored.

    Dentures:
    Dentures are removable plastic or plastic frameworks that carry single or multiple false teeth. If you choose to replace missing teeth with dentures, they will be custom made to fit the size and shape of your mouth. Not everyone will feel comfortable with this approach.
