Wisdom teeth extractions

Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgeries, especially impacted wisdom teeth removal since it is essential for dental care.

In this dental treatment, one or four teeth are extracted from the back of the mouth. When these dental pieces start to develop without enough space to emerge they can cause pain, inflammation, infection, push the surrounding teeth affecting occlusion, or even cause problems in the jaw joint. Wisdom tooth surgery is performed by oral surgeons under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the complexity of each patient’s case.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the best ways to restore missing teeth and recover oral and overall health of patients, they offer natural looking and very good long-term results. In this surgery, oral surgeons must place titanium implants in the jawbone that can hold artificial teeth made out of porcelain, zirconia crowns, or other materials.

Depending on the number of missing teeth that the patient needs to replace, our specialist Dr. Xochipilli Bojorquez may suggest a work such as All-On-4, which allows full mouth restoration of the whole upper or lower teeth by placing just 4 implants, a great solution to improve the appereance of your smile.

Bone grafts

A bone graft is a surgical procedure to reestablish jaw bone in patients who have lost its density for some reason. This surgery is usually part of the dental implants treatments because it is common for patients with missing teeth to suffer from the recession of the dental bone.

In this dental procedure, oral surgeons must remove a piece of bone from another part of your body and graft it in the jaw section that needs it. This surgical extraction has a healing process of about 6 months and then the dentist can place a dental implant.

How to prepare for the surgery

Since each of the surgery procedures is different, the preparation can vary for all patients. However, these tips will help you prepare in most cases.

Ask your doctor about the healing process: In all oral surgeries, the patient must have rest for at least the first 24 hours. Depending on the type of surgery, the rest should be for a few days or a few weeks. Be sure to ask your dentist so you can organize yourself if you will need to miss work or school.

Quit smoking: Smoking can complicate maxillofacial surgery and recovery, so if you smoke, it is best not to do so for at least a few weeks before and after the procedure. Ideally, after such surgery, the patient should completely stop smoking.

Ask somebody to come to the dental center with you: After the surgery, you will need somebody to drive you home, so ask a friend or family member to come with you to Los Algodones, Mexico. Another option will be to stay in town for one night after the treatment; let our staff know if you’re interested in doing this so we can advise you on the best lodging options.

Ask your dentist if you can eat before the procedure: In some cases, you will have to fast before the procedure, ask your doctor if that will be necessary and what should you eat the night before. Also, if you take some medications, ask if you can take them before the surgery.
