Extraction is the dental surgery procedure that patients usually fear the most. However, the doctor decides to extract a tooth (colloquial term for extraction) only when conservative treatment is ineffective or the damage to the tooth is so advanced that there are no possibilities of restoration. The concern is usually not only about the tooth extraction procedure itself, but also about the subsequent wound healing process. How long does it take? Some clues later in our post.

Eight, or wisdom teeth, as they are commonly called, are molars that erupt most often between the ages of 17 and 25 (although not in everyone; they can also appear at much later stages of life) as the last in the dental arch. Modern humans do not really need them. In the past, they were essential for biting and chewing food, which was mainly consumed in its raw form. Nowadays, most of the food consumed is processed, so they do not fulfil such an important function. Consequently, many people wonder whether it is necessary to remove the eights. There is no single answer to such a question. It all depends on the individual case. If there are clear indications for extraction, it should be done. However, if the patient does not suffer from any complaints related to the wisdom teeth, removal is not necessary.

Veneers are prosthetic restorations that effectively eliminate the vast majority of dental imperfections. They are also durable and resistant to discolouration. Their colour is matched to the colour of the remaining teeth, making it possible to cover up any imperfections. What are veneers? When are they made and for what purpose? You will find the answers to these questions later in this article.

Veneers improve the appearance of teeth. Many people choose to wear composite, ceramic veneers because it is the only way to enjoy a nice smile again. However, it is worth knowing that not everyone can afford to wear them. In many cases, the dentist will refuse to place veneers.

Implants, or artificial roots, were invented in 1952 by a Swedish orthopaedic surgeon. To this day, no one has invented a better way of replacing natural teeth. The procedure is completely safe, as dental implants are made of titanium, which is tolerated by the human body. When and why is it advisable to have artificial roots implanted?

Reconstruction of the crown of a tooth is performed after mechanical damage, such as chipping, cracks or fractures. Reconstruction is also performed after endodontic treatment due to advanced caries. It is also a procedure allowing aesthetics of teeth to be improved - it allows unevenness, fissures and discolouration to be hidden. It is worth undergoing this dental procedure not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for health reasons. Find out more about the restoration of tooth crowns later in this post.

Tartar has a negative impact on the tissues surrounding the teeth, so it must be removed regularly. Accumulated plaque, which is not eliminated, can mineralise. As a consequence, the outer surface of the teeth becomes covered with tartar, which may even reach below the gum line. This causes, among other things, bad breath....

How long the gum will take to heal after tooth extraction depends on several factors, the most important of which is the complexity of the procedure being carried out. As a rule, the most difficult teeth to extract are the deepest-set molars: sixths, sevenths and - above all - eighths. In most cases the healing process takes about two weeks and discomfort disappears after about three days. However, inadequate wound care and various complications following surgery can prolong this period.
