Surgical dentistry
Surgical dentistry - a branch of dentistry that includes various surgical procedures in the oral cavity. It deals with problems related to the teeth, jaws and other oral tissues. Dental surgeons perform tooth extractions, implants, jaw surgery and other procedures to restore oral health and function.
What is surgical dentistry?
It is a specific and quite broad field of dentistry, covering procedures such as tooth extractions, implants and other procedures that require surgical intervention.
Common surgical procedures
The most common procedures we perform are: tooth extractions, root resections and cyst removals, abscess openings, anterior plastics, and removal of bony exostoses (growths).
Tooth extraction
Tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons. The procedure depends on a number of criteria and sometimes takes only about a minute, while other times it is very complex and time-consuming. The removal of underdeveloped or Hypodontia, missing teeth requires specific knowledge. We are delighted to have a team of excellent specialists in this field.
More +Root resections and cyst removal
This procedure removes the inflammatory focus at the top of the tooth root. It is common for the inflammatory focus to appear as a cyst. This surgical procedure is performed when conservative treatment is not effective.
More +Opening the blebs
This procedure is also known as an incision and is usually needed when a problem tooth is left untreated and the problem becomes more complicated, usually resulting in swelling. In this case, the oral surgeon makes an incision at the site of the abscess and inserts a drain, which is removed the next day. The patient is given antibiotics.
More +Plastic surgery of the vestibule
This procedure creates fixed gums. These may be needed, for example, when bony erosion has started. Fixed gums are very useful for the stability of removable dentures and also facilitate the longevity of dental implants.
More +Removal of bone exostoses (growths)
This procedure is necessary when bony growths are visible in the upper or lower jaw. They must be removed, for example when the patient has to wear removable dentures.

How do I prepare for a surgical dentistry procedure?
