At Integrated Dentalcare, we understand that having a tooth removed can be a stressful experience for many individuals. Factors such as discomfort during the removal process, prolonged pain after the extraction, the risk of infection, and slow healing can discourage people from seeking necessary treatment, even in emergencies.
We strive to provide a comfortable and safe dental experience to alleviate these concerns and ensure that our clients receive the care they need when they need it.
In this blog, we explore how our Edinburgh West End practice embraces innovative technology and patient-centred approaches to ensure a smoother and more comfortable tooth removal process.
At Integrated Dentalcare, we utilise state-of-the-art instruments and Waterlase technology to create a minimally invasive space around the tooth during removal. This not only reduces discomfort during the tooth removal procedure and causes less trauma to the bone, but it also sets the stage for an efficient and gentle healing process.
Our meticulous approach to disinfection addresses concerns about infections and lingering toxins. We employ both mechanical and laser disinfection of infected tissue and energise the socket with laser light to ensure a thorough cleaning process that promotes better and more predictable healing outcomes.
At Integrated Dentalcare, we have incorporated Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) into our dental extraction services. This natural painkiller, derived from your own blood, accelerates the healing process, often resulting in reduced discomfort and faster recovery times post-extraction. PRF creates a super membrane that covers the socket like a drape and protects the important blood clot that forms after gently removing the tooth. This membrane expedites tissue repair, helps the skin grow better and faster, protects the socket bone, and acts as a natural painkiller, with some of our clients reporting minimal to no discomfort post-extraction.
Our cutting-edge technology and innovative Platelet-Rich Fibrin therapy will enable you to quickly return to your daily activities, significantly reducing interruptions to your routine.
Are you curious how our PRF therapy has helped one of our valued clients? Hear first-hand from Chunyan Su, who has recently undergone PRF treatment with Dr Neeraj Puri:
“I had one of my molars removed with PRF recently with Dr. Neeraj Puri from the Integrated Dentalcare and I had a very comfortable and speedy recovery. I didn’t even need any painkillers the day after the operation. I had thought that it was because of Dr Puri’s expertise - he removed my tooth very gently, thus protecting the surrounding teeth and issues very well. My friend recommend Dr. Puri to me when I moved into Edinburgh. Dr. Puri is very reliable, kind and professional. I feel he is not only dedicated to the practice but also studies hard and always delves into the most advanced technology in dentistry and applies these to his practice. This time, when he checked my teeth in two weeks after the operation, I thanked him for his technique and patience which I think contributed to such a speedy recovery, he told me the quick recovery is mainly due to the PRF, membrane made from my blood that nourished the healing, not only because of his experience in tooth extractions. Thank you Dr. Puri for both your expertise and the PRF you applied. I highly recommend Dr. Neeraj Puri to everyone.” - Chunyan Su
Our experienced dentists use laser therapy to remove foreign bodies or potential infections from your tooth extraction site to enhance your post-treatment experience. This advanced technique for infection prevention during a tooth extraction ensures a cleaner wound and reduces the likelihood of complications, contributing to a more predictable healing outcome and optimal bone health.
If you’re considering the possibility of dental implants in the future, we take a proactive step at our Edinburgh West End practice to ensure the ability of implant placement after tooth extraction. By placing an artificial bone scaffold in the socket, our dentists can preserve the width and height of your bone ridge following your gentle tooth removal.
This gives you a much greater chance of ensuring the bone is still viable should you decide to replace a tooth with a dental implant later. This simple measure will save you time and effort in the future and provide you with peace of mind knowing that your dental health is being taken care of in the best possible manner.
