Piezosurgery Unit


At Manchester Oral Surgery, Dr. Abel has taken advantage of significant advances in technology used for dental extractions. One of these advances, the Piezosurgery unit, is available in our office. When indicated, this surgical instrument allows for a less traumatic approach to removing teeth or root tips. This particular ultrasonic micro-vibration unit allows Dr. Abel to make micrometric cuts in the bone adjacent to a tooth for minimally invasive extractions with maximum surgical precision, especially beneficial when a tooth needs to be extracted with precision and care.





FAQS About Tooth Extraction


Should I stop taking my blood thinning medication before teeth removal?


Never stop taking a prescribed blood thinner unless specifically instructed to do so by your prescriber. Generally, Dr. Abel will instruct patients who take daily over-the-counter aspirin to continue taking it for teeth removal. However, he may request permission from your prescriber for you to hold your stronger blood thinners.



How many teeth can be extracted at the same time?


There is no limit on how many teeth can be extracted at once. Most patients prefer to have all of their needed teeth extractions performed during one appointment. It's crucial to carefully assess the health of the remaining teeth to ensure their well-being is not compromised tooth extractions.


Are tooth extractions painful?


No, we use local anesthesia to numb your mouth and ensure that you feel no pain. It’s common to sense movement and pressure but not discomfort. Sedation anesthesia is often an option as well. If you experience new or severe pain after the tooth extraction procedure, it may indicate a dental emergency, and you should seek immediate treatment to prevent further health issues.


How long does it take to recover from tooth extractions?


It typically takes 7 to 14 days to recover from a multiple teeth extraction procedure with less time needed for single tooth extraction.


What can I expect after having multiple teeth removed?


We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, but you can expect to experience some discomfort and swelling after your tooth extraction. We recommend taking a few days off of work to relax at home, eat soft foods, avoid strenuous activities, and follow the instructions we give you. It's also crucial to take care of your natural teeth to prevent the need for future extractions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.


How long after teeth removal can I get dentures?


In some cases, your general dentist will make immediate dentures ahead of time for Dr. Abel to insert following your tooth extraction. Otherwise, we usually recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks after extractions before having your dentures made, as this allows your soft tissue and jawbone time to heal. Exploring tooth replacement options, including a dental bridge, is crucial after teeth extractions to prevent future dental issues and restore your smile effectively.
