ORAL SURGERY IN DÜSSELDORF (KAISERSWERTH)

All oral surgery procedures (e.g. wisdom tooth removal, root tip resection, adjustment of displaced teeth, denture position optimisation, etc.) are performed in our practice on an outpatient basis or, on request, under general anaesthetic or twilight sleep.

If bone is lacking, it is gently built up. Your dentist in Düsseldorf (Kaiserswerth) uses the technique of Piezosurgery, a very gentle, minimally invasive and safe treatment. Either the patient's own bone (autologous bone material) or artificial, synthetic substitute material (alloplastic bone material - tested and used worldwide for many years) is used as the augmentation material.

Bone augmentation

Minimally invasive sinus lift: 

In the upper jaw, the maxillary sinus is very extensive, and the alveolar ridge is very low if the patient has lacked teeth over an extended period. In order to create more space for implants, it is possible to lift the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus via a "keyhole operation" and insert bone replacement material into the newly created cavity. This surgical method and the instruments were developed in co-operation with the company Aceton.

Bone splitting: 

Bone splitting is a surgical procedure to split very thin bone lengthwise, expand it and fill the cavity with replacement material or bone, thereby widening it. In many cases, implants can be placed in the same session.

Bone spreading: 

When it comes to bone spreading, the bone is slowly expanded using special instruments, thereby increasing the width of the jaw.

Bone block transplantation: 

In the case of particularly pronounced bone deficits, reconstruction with pure replacement material is not possible. If this is the case, a bone block (usually from the region of the former wisdom teeth) is removed and transplanted to the affected area. The bone block fuses with the underlying bone and after a healing period of approx. 3-4 months, implants can be placed in the reconstructed jaw. The donor site of the bone block regenerates on its own without any issues.

Soft tissue surgery

To give implants a long-life expectancy, it is often necessary to optimise the mucosa around implants. In such cases, so-called connective tissue or mucous membrane grafts are removed (usually from the palate) and transplanted to the affected area. We perform these procedures using microsurgery and minimally invasive techniques. Alternatively, animal membranes can also be used here (pig collagen from the heart muscle) and the same results can be achieved as with the body's own tissue.

Piezosurgery

Piezosurgery with the Piezotome is a modern, ultrasound-guided surgical procedure. With its help, it is possible, for example, to transplant bones gently or to operate safely in critical regions without damaging sensitive structures such as nerves or vessels. The bone is prepared gently and ensures the dentist's ability to work safely in critical regions. Gentle tooth extractions and root tip resections are also possible with the Piezotome.
