A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth. There are a couple reasons why extractions might be needed. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to render the tooth non-restorable.

Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, usually emerge as the last four of 32 teeth in the mouth, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. They sit at the back of the mouth (top and bottom), near the entrance to the throat. The term “wisdom” arises from the idea that these molars emerge during a period often associated with increased maturity or “wisdom.”
In most cases, the mouth doesn’t have enough space for wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional. When this occurs, the tooth can become impacted (stuck) in an undesirable or potentially harmful position. If untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, damage to other teeth, and possibly the development of cysts or tumors.

If untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, damage to other teeth, and possibly the development of cysts or tumors.
The upper portion of the tooth (the crown) has penetrated through the bone, but the gingiva (gum) is covering part or all of the tooth’s crown and has not positioned properly around the tooth.
The tooth has partially erupted, but a portion of the crown remains submerged below the gum and surrounding jawbone.
The tooth is completely encased by jawbone. This will require more complex removal techniques.
While not all wisdom teeth require removal, wisdom teeth extractions are most often performed because of an active problem such as pain, swelling, decay or infection, or as a preventative measure to avoid serious problems in the future. If impaction of one or more wisdom teeth is present, and left untreated, a number of potentially harmful outcomes can occur, including:

The canine, or eye tooth, normally erupts into the mouth between the ages of 11 and 13. Sometimes one or both canines develop in the wrong position, often lying across the roof of the mouth behind the front teeth. If not addressed, the tooth won’t erupt normally and may either damage the roots of the front teeth or push them out of position.
After exposing the canine, the orthodontist glues a small bracket to the tooth. They then attach a chain to the bracket, which the orthodontist uses to pull the tooth into the right position. The chain is usually stitched out of the way but remains delicate, so it’s important to be careful when eating during the first few weeks after surgery.

Strong roots hold the teeth firmly in place, extending into the jawbone. Molars and premolars usually have several roots, while the front incisors have only a single root. The apex, or tip of each root, is where nerves and blood vessels enter the tooth, aiding in the delivery of blood to the crown (the visible part of the tooth in your mouth).
Root canal treatment involves cleaning the canals and removing infected and inflamed tissue within the root. If inflammation or infection persists after the treatment, an apicoectomy may become necessary. This procedure involves removing the apex (or root tip) and then filling the root to seal it from further infection. If left untreated, infected roots can damage other teeth, spread infection, and cause regression of the jawbone.

Dental implants provide a highly efficient and enduring solution for replacing missing teeth, offering longevity unmatched by traditional options like bridges or dentures. Despite their effectiveness, implants generally come with a higher cost.
Implantology involves the process of placing teeth implants to improve aesthetics, functionality, and address the physiological challenges of tooth loss. At Smilerite Dental Care in Abu Dhabi, we use titanium structures similar to screws, carefully implanted into the mandible or maxilla. These implants offer robust support for crowns or prostheses.
Our dental implants not only enhance reliability but also increase durability with a patented design. The implant surface promotes osseointegration, allowing the bone to securely bond with the implant, integrating it into the natural bone structure.
For those seeking a permanent solution to tooth loss, dental implants offer unmatched stability and longevity, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and optimal oral functionality.
Bone grafting is a safe and highly successful procedure that involves the “building up” or adding bone to the jaw by using your own natural bone from another location and/or by using donor, processed or synthetic bone materials. Often the new bone can be obtained from inside the mouth.
Missing upper back teeth are among the most difficult to restore. When the back teeth in the upper jaw are missing the sinus cavity becomes larger as the natural bone deteriorates over time. A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation or sinus elevation, is a bone-augmentation procedure for patients who have an insufficient natural bone in this area for dental implant placement. The procedure involves adding bone below the sinus so that one or more implants can be placed. The procedure does not affect speech, intonation or cause sinus problems.
If the jaw isn’t wide enough to support dental implants, bone graft material can be added to a small ridge, or space, that is created along the top of the jaw. In some situations, implants can be placed right after a ridge expansion. Other situations require approximately four to 12 months to ensure that the ridge has fully healed first. Like all bone grafting techniques, ridge expansion helps ensure a strong foundation and long lifespan for your new teeth. It also can be used to correct an unattractive and difficult-to-clean indentation that can occur in the jawline near missing teeth.
