Surgical dentistry

Surgical dentistry in Kyiv is a branch of medicine aimed at solving complex clinical problems when conservative treatment methods are already ineffective. The main goal of modern surgical dentistry is to preserve the health of the dentoalveolar system, restore lost tissues, and prepare a base for further prosthetics. If you are faced with acute pain, the need to remove a wisdom tooth, or plan implantation, we recommend timely making an appointment with a dental surgeon for expert help.

The main difference lies in the methods of impact. While therapeutic dentistry focuses on conservative treatment (treatment of caries, canal filling, artistic restoration), surgical treatment in dentistry comes into play when radical intervention is required.

Surgery is necessary in cases where a tooth cannot be restored, a cyst needs removal, or bone tissue preparation is required for implantation. Despite different tasks, both areas are inseparably connected: often, the therapist prepares the tooth for surgery, and the surgeon creates conditions for further successful treatment or prosthetics.

Modern surgical dentistry services cover a wide range of procedures — from standard procedures to complex reconstructive surgeries.

The main list includes:

• Tooth extraction: simple, complex, emergency, and “wisdom teeth.”
• Complex surgery: removal of impacted and displaced teeth.
• Preserving operations on teeth: apex resection and hemisection.
• Implantology: implant placement, sinus lifting, and bone grafting.
• Periodontology: deep curettage of gum pockets.
• Emergency care: treatment of inflammations (abscesses) and trauma assistance.

We strive to preserve every tooth, resorting to atraumatic extraction only when treatment is impossible. Thanks to mandatory diagnostics using CT and X-ray, the doctor considers all anatomical features, minimizing risks. When extracting, we recommend immediately performing socket preservation with bone material — this prevents jaw atrophy and creates ideal conditions for future implantation.

Wisdom tooth extraction

Removal of “eights” is necessary when there is insufficient space in the jaw, their incorrect position, complicated eruption with inflammation, or caries that cannot be treated due to poor access.

Complex extraction

If the tooth is impacted (completely hidden in the bone) or displaced (growing horizontally or at an angle), surgical access is required. The doctor carefully segments the tooth and removes it in parts, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues and accelerating healing.

Diagnostics before intervention

Extraction of “eights” requires mandatory CT. A three-dimensional image allows the surgeon to create a safe operation plan and accurately predict rehabilitation.

Contrary to popular myth, modern surgical dentistry is not limited only to extraction. On the contrary, the priority task of the surgeon is to preserve the patient’s own tooth even in complex cases.

Surgical dentistry and preserving operations include:

• Apex resection: removal of a cyst or granuloma with complete tooth preservation.
• Hemisection: removal of only one damaged root in a multi-rooted tooth.
• Crown lengthening: gum correction for preserving and prosthetizing a damaged tooth.

Any surgical treatment in dentistry is planned only after thorough diagnostics and assessment of long-term success chances. If the tooth root is stable, and the inflammation is localized, the surgeon will make every effort to preserve it.

Implantation and surgical dentistry are inseparably connected. Implant placement is a full-fledged surgical stage requiring a highly qualified doctor and the use of high-precision technologies.

The process often includes several surgical aspects:

• Careful extraction: if the tooth is still in place, it is removed as gently as possible to avoid damaging the socket walls.
• Tissue preparation: in cases where the bone volume is insufficient (e.g., after prolonged tooth absence), innovations in surgical dentistry are applied, such as sinus lifting or guided bone regeneration.
• Soft tissue plastic surgery: forming an aesthetic gum contour around the future implant to create a natural smile.

Thorough diagnostics and 3D planning at the surgical stage ensure that the implant will be placed in the anatomically correct position, providing reliability and longevity of the entire construction.

Surgical methods often become the only way to stop the development of serious periodontal diseases. If regular cleaning does not yield results, the doctor prescribes curettage — the procedure of cleaning gum pockets from subgingival calculus and infected tissues.

When curettage is applied

Treatment is carried out when there are deep pockets (more than 3–4 mm), when inflammation penetrates deeply under the gums and threatens tooth loss.

Surgical treatment

In acute inflammatory processes, such as abscesses or pericoronitis (inflammation of the “hood” over a wisdom tooth), operative intervention is necessary to remove the source of infection and prevent its spread.

Individual scope

The volume and method of intervention (open or closed curettage) directly depend on the condition of soft tissues and the degree of ligament apparatus destruction. Timely treatment allows stabilizing the situation and preserving teeth even in severe forms of periodontitis.

Working with children requires not only meticulous precision but also a special emotional approach. Pediatric surgical dentistry in Kyiv in our clinic is focused on making any intervention stress-free and fear-free for the child.

When a surgeon is needed

Most often, help is needed for the removal of a milk tooth that interferes with the eruption of a permanent tooth, or for the treatment of severe inflammatory processes that cannot be treated conservatively.

Extraction as indicated

We perform the removal of milk and permanent teeth only in extreme cases: with supernumerary teeth, serious trauma, or by orthodontist recommendation for proper bite formation.

Gentle approach

The use of modern anesthetics and atraumatic methods minimizes discomfort. The doctor acts quickly and carefully, creating a trusting atmosphere so that the young patient does not develop a negative experience of visiting the dentist.

General practice

Our clinic focuses on outpatient surgery — tooth extraction, frenulum plastic surgery, and trauma assistance, providing basic surgical support for harmonious development of a child’s smile.

The success of the operation depends 90% on the quality of preparation. Properly completed stages of patient examination in the clinic before surgical dentistry allow the doctor to create an accurate prognosis and choose the most gentle technique.

How preparation for surgery takes place

Consultation and medical history collection

The doctor listens to complaints, clarifies the presence of chronic diseases and allergic reactions. This is critically important for selecting safe anesthesia and determining tactics for managing the patient after surgery.

Clinical examination

The surgeon evaluates the condition of the mucous membrane, the degree of tooth destruction, and tissue mobility. At this stage, obvious foci of infection and the volume of future work are determined.

Radiological diagnostics

Targeted images: provide a detailed view of a specific tooth.

• Panoramic images (OPG): allow assessment of the condition of both jaws completely.
• Computed tomography (CT): prescribed to obtain a 3D model of bone tissue, to obtain accurate measurements of bone volume, and to determine the position of roots relative to nerve canals and maxillary sinuses.

Assessment of the dentoalveolar system

The doctor analyzes tooth interaction, the state of the temporomandibular joint, and soft tissues as a whole so that the operation does not disrupt overall functionality.

Treatment plan preparation

Based on the examination results, the patient receives a step-by-step protocol. It specifies anesthesia methods, the sequence of manipulations, rehabilitation periods, and the final cost.

Individual consultations in surgical dentistry help the patient relieve psychological tension by receiving answers to all questions about future intervention and expected results.

In some cases, in addition to X-ray, additional methods of assessing the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles may be used. This allows planning the operation so that the result is not only aesthetic but physiologically correct.

High-tech equipment

The use of digital scanners and 3D modeling software helps the surgeon “conduct” the operation virtually in advance. This reduces real intervention time and makes the result predictable.

Laser technologies

The laser is used for precise tissue correction and disinfection, making healing more comfortable. Thanks to detailed diagnostics and atraumatic methods, rehabilitation is as easy and fast as possible.

When planning a treatment budget, it is important to understand that the price of surgical dentistry in Kyiv includes not only the manipulation itself but also a set of preparatory and accompanying measures. The cost of services at Crystal Dent clinic is formed transparently and reasonably.

The final amount depends on several key factors:

Type and volume of intervention

Simple extraction of a single-root tooth, complex extraction of an impacted “eight,” or multi-stage surgical preparation for implantation (e.g., sinus lifting) differ significantly in labor intensity and cost.

Complexity of the case

The presence of severe inflammation, atypical root location, or proximity to important nerve nodes requires more time from the surgeon and the use of special instruments.

Need for diagnostics and anesthesia

The cost may include X-rays or CT, as well as the selected type of anesthesia (local anesthesia or sedation).

Additional manipulations

Use of bone graft materials, suture application, or specific antiseptic socket treatment also affect the final calculation.

Important: the exact cost of surgical treatment at Crystal Dent can be determined after examination and diagnostics.

The doctor at the initial consultation will prepare a detailed plan for you, where all stages and their cost are specified, which excludes any hidden payments during treatment.
