Oral surgery

Wisdom tooth removal

It may be necessary to surgically remove the wisdom teeth for various reasons. This may be due to a lack of space in the jaw, inflammation or other damage.
The wisdom teeth often have no space in the jaw and cannot be integrated into the row of teeth. They remain covered by bone (retention) or only partially emerge through the mucous membrane (partial retention). Reasons for removing wisdom teeth include pain and pressure, inflammation, risk of damage or displacement of neighboring teeth and cyst formation.
If the wisdom tooth is closely positioned to the mandibular nerve, a three-dimensional CBCT X-ray is taken. This routine procedure is performed safely and minimally invasively. If desired, the procedure can be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.

WSR – apicoectomy

There are many areas of application for oral surgery, including root canal treatment. Despite proper root canal treatment, an inflammation can sometimes remain at the tip of the tooth root. During an apicoectomy, this inflammation is completely removed and the root canals are sealed tightly against bacteria. As the most important measure, the opened root canal is widened from below (retrograde) using ultrasound, cleaned and sealed against bacteria.
After a successful root canal resection, the tooth remains stable. This routine procedure is performed safely and minimally invasively. If desired, the procedure can be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.

Tooth removal and root residues

There can be many reasons why a tooth needs to be removed, e.g. destruction of the tooth due to caries, loosening due to periodontitis or orthodontic reasons. However,
tooth injuries after a fall, cysts and inflammation or a planned bisphosphonate therapy can also make tooth removal necessary.
We carefully check whether a tooth can be preserved before it is removed. If preservation is not possible, we remove the tooth as gently as possible in order to preserve all of your reconstruction options.
The tooth is removed under local anesthesia. For anxious patients, the procedure at MKG-Chirurgie Hamm can also be performed in twilight sleep (analgosedation) or under intubation anesthesia. We offer you gentle tooth removal with comprehensive aftercare in cooperation with your dentist.

Dental Surgery – Oral Surgery Hamm

As part of dental surgery, our services naturally also include the following procedures:

  • Surgical removal of displaced or destroyed teeth
  • Treatment of inflammations and abscesses
  • Focus search for sources of inflammation caused by teeth
    These should be eliminated before problems occur. Especially before heart surgery, organ transplants, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. However, every osteoporosis patient should also have foci of inflammation in the oral cavity removed before starting drug therapy.

Normal X-ray images often do not help with difficult questions or unclear complaints. For these cases, we have the latest, low-radiation 3D technology in digital volume tomography. With these images, structures in the tooth, mouth and jaw area can be depicted three-dimensionally and thus often find the cause of the complaints.

  • Treatment of diseases of the salivary glands

These procedures and treatments are routine and are performed safely and minimally invasively. If desired, the procedure can be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.

Cyst removal

Cysts in the jaw can form for various reasons and are usually associated with a diseased tooth. Cyst removal is therefore often performed in conjunction with tooth extraction or apicoectomy.
These procedures and treatments are routine and are performed safely and minimally invasively. If desired, the procedure can be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.

Surgery for orthodontics

Occasionally, teeth that are still under the gums need to be exposed for orthodontic treatment. This is usually done in conjunction with the attachment of a bracket.
If desired, the procedure can be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.

  • Treatment of disorders of the temporomandibular joint and chewing apparatus (CMD) by your oral surgeon in Hamm

Temporomandibular joint disorders and treatment of disorders of the masticatory apparatus (CMD)

Temporomandibular joint disorders, or as they are often referred to, craniomandibular dysfunctions (CMD) are structural, functional and psychological dysregulations of the muscle or joint functions in the jaw. The symptoms can be found in dental areas, such as sensitive tooth necks, abraded teeth, pain or clicking in the jaw joint or jaw. However, temporomandibular joint problems can also trigger chronic pain in the surrounding area, such as neck and shoulder pain, back pain, headaches, migraines, tinnitus or painful and restricted mouth opening.

Treatment of oral diseases in the area of the mucous membranes and bone

Changes in the oral cavity are diagnosed (e.g. by taking a sample with subsequent histological examination) and, if necessary, completely removed.

Pre-prosthetic surgery

We improve the bone and soft tissue situation in order to create a good starting point for high-quality, functionally and aesthetically optimal dental treatment, for example with implants at MKG Hamm.
