ORAL SURGERY
Advanced surgical solutions for complex dental conditions ranging from extractions to bone grafting delivered with precision, safety, and comfort to restore oral health and function.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a minor oral surgical procedure used to treat persistent infections or inflammation at the tip of a tooth’s root, especially when a root canal alone isn’t sufficient. It helps preserve the natural tooth by removing infected tissue and sealing the root end.
What We Provide:
- Precise removal of infected root tip and surrounding tissue
- Microsurgical techniques for minimal discomfort and fast healing
- Use of biocompatible materials to seal the root end
- Digital imaging to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment
- Post-surgical care and monitoring for long-term success
Socket Preservation
Socket preservation is a bone grafting procedure performed immediately after tooth extraction to maintain the shape and density of the jawbone. It helps prevent bone loss, supports future dental implants, and preserves the natural contour of the gums.
What We Provide:
- Immediate bone graft placement after tooth extraction
- Use of biocompatible graft materials to support bone regeneration
- Protection of socket with a membrane or healing cap
- Prevention of jawbone shrinkage and gum collapse
- Preparation for successful implant placement in the future
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry involves the use of calming medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is especially helpful for those with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, or complex treatment needs. At Tafodent, we offer safe and tailored sedation options to ensure a stress-free experience.
- Oral Conscious Sedation
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation
- IV sedation
- General Anaesthesia
What We Provide:
- Oral sedation or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for anxiety relief
- IV sedation for deeper relaxation during complex procedures
- Thorough monitoring of vital signs during treatment
- Personalized sedation plans based on medical history and comfort level
- Gentle care in a calm, supportive environment
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or impacted to be saved. At Tafodent, we ensure safe, comfortable removal of teeth with a focus on minimizing pain, preserving surrounding structures, and supporting long-term oral health.
- Damaged teeth
- Wisdom teeth
What We Provide:
- Simple and surgical extractions based on individual need
- Use of local anesthesia or sedation for patient comfort
- Careful removal to protect nearby teeth and bone
- Post-extraction instructions for smooth healing
- Options for tooth replacement, including implants or bridges
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars that don’t fully erupt due to lack of space or misalignment, often causing pain, swelling, or infection. At Tafodent, we specialize in the safe and gentle removal of impacted wisdom teeth to prevent complications and protect oral health.
What We Provide:
- Comprehensive evaluation with digital X-rays
- Surgical extraction of partially or fully impacted wisdom teeth
- Local anesthesia or sedation options for a pain-free experience
- Post-operative care instructions and follow-up support
- Prevention of crowding, infection, and damage to nearby teeth
Tongue-Tie Correction / Frenectomy
A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition where the tissue under the tongue (lingual frenulum) is too short or tight, restricting movement and potentially affecting speech, eating, or oral development. At Tafodent, we perform gentle frenectomy procedures to release this tissue and restore normal function.
What We Provide:
- Evaluation of tongue mobility and oral function
- Laser or surgical frenectomy for minimal discomfort and fast healing
- Treatment for infants, children, and adults
- Improved speech, feeding, and tongue range of motion
- Post-procedure guidance and support for optimal recovery
