ERADICATE DISEASE AT THE SOURCE

Cavitation surgery

At Tetrahealth, we understand the profound connection between oral health and overall well-being. Led by Dr. Alex Volchonok, a dual Ivy-League trained, Board-Certified Periodontist and Oral Implantologist, our team specializes in cavitation surgery to address hidden jawbone infections, promoting both oral and systemic health.

DENTAL TREATMENT FOCUSED ON FOUNDATIONAL HEALTH

What is dental cavitation surgery?

Dental cavitations are areas of necrotic (dead) bone in the jaw, often resulting from improperly healed tooth extractions or persistent infections. These lesions can harbor harmful bacteria, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and systemic health issues. Cavitation surgery aims to:

Remove Necrotic Tissue – Eliminating diseased bone and bacteria to prevent further infection.
Promote Bone Regeneration – Stimulating the growth of healthy bone tissue to restore structural integrity.
Enhance Systemic Health – Reducing oral sources of chronic inflammation that may impact overall wellness.

By addressing these underlying issues, we help patients achieve a solid foundation for both oral and systemic health.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH CAVITATION SURGERY

Cavitation surgery procedure

This structured approach ensures effective treatment of cavitations, leading to improved oral health and reduced systemic inflammation.

Preparing & assessing

STEP 1

Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation, utilizing 3D CBCT scans to pinpoint areas of concern.

Surgical access

STEP 2

Precision Entry: A small incision is made to access the cavitation site, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Debridement of Lesion

STEP 3

Cleaning the Area: Necrotic bone and infected tissue are meticulously removed, and the site is disinfected with ozone therapy to eradicate residual bacteria.

Surgical site treatment

STEP 4

Promoting Healing: Application of biocompatible bone grafts and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) derived from the patient’s blood to stimulate natural tissue regeneration and accelerate healing.

PROVIDING SPECIALIZED DENTAL CARE

Our expertise in cavitation surgery

Under the leadership of Dr. Alex Volchonok, who graduated at the top of his class from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and holds a Master’s degree from Columbia University, Tetrahealth offers unparalleled expertise in cavitation surgery. Our approach includes:

Advanced Diagnostics – Utilizing 3D Cone Beam CT imaging to accurately identify cavitations that traditional X-rays may miss.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CARE

Common questions

  • Is cavitation surgery safe?

    Yes, cavitation surgery is considered safe when performed by experienced professionals using minimally invasive techniques. At TetraHealth, we adhere to stringent surgical protocols to ensure patient safety and comfort.

  • What can I expect during recovery?

    Recovery involves a personalized post-operative care plan, including natural remedies and the use of PRF to enhance tissue regeneration. Follow-up appointments and imaging, such as CBCT scans, are scheduled to monitor healing progress.

  • Can cavitation surgery improve systemic health issues?

    By removing sources of chronic infection and inflammation in the jaw, cavitation surgery can positively impact systemic health, potentially alleviating related symptoms and enhancing the body’s immune response.

  • How do I know if I need cavitation surgery?

    If you’ve had previous dental extractions, root canals, or experience unexplained chronic facial pain, it’s advisable to consult with our specialists. We utilize advanced imaging and diagnostics to determine the presence of cavitations.
