ORAL SURGERY
Should the damage to a tooth be completely irreparable, the last resort should be an extraction, a painless procedure that gives little inconvenience. The most common surgery technique is a wisdom tooth extraction – if you require more information please ask one of our dentists at our clinic in Algeciras.

The wide field of oral surgery includes the following procedures: dental impaction, periodontal surgery, odontogenic infections, pre-malignant lesions and the treatment of intraoral lesions to soft tissue.
¿When is it necessary to take a wisdom tooth out?
The most frequent reason for extracting third molars – or “wisdom teeth” – is the lack of space in the jawbone for the teeth to come through correctly. Other reasons could include an irregular orientation of a wisdom tooth that could damage a neighbouring tooth, or dental crowding.
The emergence of wisdom teeth can also sometimes cause swelling of the gums due to an incomplete dental eruption of a wisdom tooth, and that could lead to a chronic infection of the surrounding gums.
