Why Choose Professional Dental Extractions?
Professional dental extractions in Switzerland ensure optimal safety, minimal discomfort, and proper healing. Our experienced team uses state-of-the-art equipment and follows strict Swiss medical protocols.
What is a Dental Extraction?
A dental extraction consists of removing a tooth from its bony socket in the jaw. This surgical procedure, performed by our experienced dentists in Chavannes-près-Renens, can be simple or complex depending on the clinical situation. Our team uses the most advanced technologies available in Switzerland to ensure precise and minimally invasive extractions.
Types of Dental Extractions
Simple Extraction
Simple extraction concerns visible and easily accessible teeth. This procedure is generally quick and is performed under local anesthesia in our dental office in the West Lausanne area.
Surgical Extraction
For impacted, fractured, or difficult-to-access teeth, surgical extraction may be necessary. Our dental surgeons in Chavannes-près-Renens master these more complex techniques perfectly.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth represent one of the most frequent extractions. Our clinic has modern radiological equipment to precisely assess the position of your wisdom teeth and plan the optimal intervention.
When is a Dental Extraction Necessary?
Advanced Dental Caries
When a cavity destroys a large part of the dental structure and no conservative treatment (filling, crown) is possible, extraction becomes necessary to avoid infections.
Severe Periodontal Disease
Advanced gum diseases can lead to significant tooth mobility. In these cases, extraction may be recommended to preserve the health of surrounding tissues.
Dental Trauma
Following an accident, a tooth fractured at the root level may require extraction. Our emergency dental service in Chavannes-près-Renens is available for these situations.
Orthodontic Preparation
As part of orthodontic treatment, certain extractions may be planned to create the space necessary for optimal tooth alignment.
Recurrent Infections
Chronic dental infections that do not respond to endodontic treatments may justify extraction to protect your general health.
The Extraction Process in Our Chavannes-près-Renens Clinic
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our dentists. We perform a complete clinical examination and digital radiographs to accurately assess your situation.
Treatment Planning
We develop a personalized treatment plan, taking into account your medical history, specific needs, and sedation preferences.
Sedation Options for Your Comfort
Local Anesthesia
For most simple extractions, local anesthesia is sufficient to ensure a painless procedure. We use gentle injection techniques and the latest generation anesthetics.
Conscious Sedation
For anxious patients or longer procedures, we offer conscious sedation. This technique allows you to remain awake but deeply relaxed during the procedure.
Deep Sedation
In some complex cases or for patients with severe dental phobia, deeper sedation may be considered. This option is performed in collaboration with a qualified anesthesiologist.
The Intervention
On the day of extraction, our team welcomes you in a warm and reassuring environment. The intervention follows a strict protocol:
- Preparation and anesthesia: Application of the chosen anesthesia and verification of its effectiveness
- Extraction: Delicate removal of the tooth while minimizing tissue trauma
- Control: Verification of the socket and cleaning if necessary
- Sutures: Placement of sutures if required
- Post-operative instructions: Detailed explanations for home care
Post-Extraction Care: Advice from Our Dentists
The First 24 Hours
- Bite on a sterile compress for 15-20 minutes to promote primary hemostasis (stable blood clot)
- Apply ice to the cheek to reduce swelling
- Take prescribed medication
- Avoid vigorous mouth rinsing
- Do not smoke
- Prefer soft and warm food
The Following Days
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene while avoiding the extraction area
- Take prescribed medications according to instructions
- Monitor signs of infection (fever, intense pain, discharge)
Recommended Diet
During the healing period, prefer:
- Warm and nutritious soups and broths
- Vegetable purees
- Yogurts and cottage cheese
- Fruit compotes
- Scrambled eggs
- Tender fish and meats
Possible Complications and Their Prevention
Dry Socket
This complication, characterized by intense pain a few days after extraction, can be prevented by strictly following post-operative instructions.
Infection
Rare with appropriate aseptic technique, infection can be prevented by good hygiene and taking antibiotics if prescribed.
Prolonged Bleeding
Slight bleeding is normal, but excessive bleeding should be reported immediately to our team.
Advanced Technologies for Precise Extractions
Our dental clinic in Chavannes-près-Renens continuously invests in cutting-edge technologies:
3D Imaging and CBCT Scanner
For complex cases, particularly impacted wisdom teeth, we use three-dimensional imaging for precise surgical planning.
Replacement Options After Extraction
Dental Implants
Ideal solution to replace an extracted tooth, the implant preserves the alveolar bone and offers optimal chewing function.
Dental Bridges
Fixed alternative to implants, bridges rely on adjacent teeth to fill the space left by extraction.
Partial Dentures
For several missing teeth, removable partial dentures constitute an economical and functional option.
