ORAL SURGERY

– is a branch of dentistry that involves various surgical procedures within the oral cavity. All procedures are performed under local anesthesia, completely pain-free, with constant communication between the surgeon and the patient. Our oral surgeons provide the highest level of expertise and care, both during and after the procedure. Following all surgical interventions, it is very important to adhere to the post-operative instructions provided by your oral surgeon.

The most commonly performed procedures in oral surgery include:

  • complex tooth extractions

  • extraction of retained roots

  • extraction of impacted/retained teeth (most commonly wisdom teeth)

  • apicoectomy (removal of the root tip)

  • sinus lift (lifting the sinus membrane and bone augmentation)

  • bone augmentation

  • implant placement

  • cystectomy (removal of pathological bone lesions)

  • Pre-prosthetic surgery (alveolar ridge leveling, frenulum/fold correction)

Apicoectomy, or root-end resection, is a surgical procedure that involves removing the tip of a tooth’s root along with the surrounding inflamed tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. It is indicated in cases of:

  • inadequate endodontic therapy

  • periapical lesions that persist even after proper root canal treatment

  • instrument fracture during root canal therapy

  • complicated apical root morphology

Cystectomy is an oral surgical procedure for removing pathological lesions (granulomas and cysts) from soft and bone tissue. When such changes are present, it is important to remove them as early as possible to prevent their spread and further complications.

Extraction of impacted or retained teeth refers to the removal of fully developed teeth that have not erupted during the expected period of life. The most commonly impacted teeth are third molars—wisdom teeth. These teeth can become sources of focal infections or cause head neuralgia. Local symptoms associated with difficult eruption include inflammation and redness of the soft tissue in the area, difficulty opening the mouth, and throbbing pain.

Pre-prosthetic surgery includes the extraction of retained roots, alveolar ridge leveling, correction of frenula, folds, or hyperplasia. These interventions aim to improve the morphological and anatomical conditions for prosthetic rehabilitation of the oral cavity.
