When a tooth cannot be saved, a wisdom tooth is causing problems or bone needs to be rebuilt for future treatment, careful diagnosis and planning are essential. At Tharish Dental Clinic in Phuket, oral surgery begins with clinical assessment and appropriate imaging so that the procedure, alternatives, recovery and next steps are clearly understood before treatment. Located in Thalang near Phuket International Airport, Nai Yang and Sakhu.
Oral surgery is not one procedure. The recommended treatment depends on the condition of the tooth, surrounding bone and gums, nearby anatomy, infection, future restorative needs and your general health. Your dentist will explain whether treatment should involve removal, monitoring, grafting or another approach.
Extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, fractured, infected or has lost too much support to be restored predictably. Before removing a tooth, we assess whether root canal treatment, restorative treatment or periodontal care could reasonably preserve it. If extraction is required, the procedure is planned with the surrounding gum and bone and any future tooth replacement in mind.
Real results from patients who underwent Tooth Extraction at our clinic.
We assess decay, cracks, infection, periodontal support, remaining tooth structure and realistic restorative alternatives.
Appropriate dental imaging helps assess root shape, bone and nearby structures. Future replacement or graft requirements can be discussed before treatment begins.
Local anaesthesia is used to provide comfort before the tooth is removed.
The extraction technique is selected according to the tooth, roots and surrounding tissues. The socket is cleaned and sutures or graft material are used only when clinically appropriate.
You receive written guidance about clot protection, cleaning, eating, medication and symptoms that should prompt a review.
Wisdom teeth do not automatically need to be removed. Extraction may be recommended when a wisdom tooth is causing repeated infection, pain, decay, food trapping, gum problems or damage to the neighbouring tooth. For impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth, dental imaging helps assess tooth position, root anatomy and nearby structures before treatment.
Real results from patients who chose Wisdom Teeth Removal at our clinic.
We assess pain, swelling, repeated infections, decay, gum condition and effects on neighbouring teeth.
A panoramic X-ray and CBCT when clinically indicated help evaluate impaction, root shape and nearby anatomy.
Local anaesthesia is planned according to the procedure, and any appropriate additional comfort options are discussed.
When required, a small opening in the gum or surrounding bone allows the tooth to be removed safely. The area is cleaned and sutured when appropriate.
You receive clear instructions about swelling, oral hygiene, diet, clot protection and symptoms that require review.
Jawbone naturally changes after tooth loss, infection or trauma. In some areas, there may not be enough bone volume to support an implant in an appropriate position. Dental bone grafting is used to preserve or rebuild selected areas of the jaw when additional bone support is required for future treatment. The type and timing of grafting depend on the size of the defect, soft tissues, implant plan and individual healing factors.
Real results from patients who chose Bone Grafting at our clinic.
Clinical examination and appropriate 3D imaging evaluate bone width, height, soft tissues and nearby anatomy.
The graft is designed according to the intended implant and final restoration rather than simply adding bone without a restorative plan.
The surgical area is prepared and graft material is placed and stabilised. A membrane or fixation may be used when required.
Sutures, cleaning instructions and careful temporary-restoration design help minimise unnecessary pressure on the graft.
Healing is evaluated clinically and with additional imaging when appropriate before the next treatment stage is started.
After upper back teeth are lost, the remaining bone beneath the maxillary sinus may be insufficient for implant placement. A sinus lift carefully elevates the sinus membrane and places graft material beneath it to increase available bone height for future implant support. The amount of existing bone and the planned implant position help determine whether a smaller internal approach or a lateral sinus-lift technique is more appropriate.
Real results from patients who chose Sinus Lift Surgery at our clinic.
CBCT imaging helps evaluate remaining bone height, sinus anatomy, nearby teeth and the planned implant site.
The amount of bone present and the implant plan determine whether an internal or lateral sinus-lift approach should be considered.
The membrane is carefully raised to create space for graft material.
Graft material is placed beneath the elevated membrane. Implant placement may occur during the same procedure only when the available bone provides sufficient initial stability.
You receive sinus-specific recovery instructions and follow-up before the implant is restored or the next treatment stage begins.
Answers to the questions our patients ask most before their oral surgery consultation.
Not every painful tooth needs extraction, and not every wisdom tooth needs surgery. We will assess the tooth, surrounding tissues and appropriate imaging, explain realistic alternatives and discuss the procedure and recovery before treatment begins.
