What are
Dental surgery is a branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosing, treating, and correcting dental problems and associated structures such as gums and jawbones through surgical interventions. These interventions can include tooth extractions, dental implants, jaw or gum corrections, as well as other surgical procedures aimed at improving oral health and the aesthetic appearance of the smile.
Types of surgical interventions
Extraction of single-rooted or multi-rooted teeth affected by deep cavities or other dental problems.
Removal of root remnants, meaning the parts of teeth that cannot be saved anymore.
Extraction of wisdom molars that are impacted or semi-impacted in the gum or have fully erupted.
Insertion of one or more dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Bone addition or bone grafting to support dental implants in cases of natural bone loss.
Sinus lifting to increase bone volume in the upper jaw area.
Removal of periodontal cysts.
Subgingival curettage for cleaning the tissues affected by periodontitis.
Removal of periodontal pockets and abscesses.
Gingivectomies for the removal of excess gingival tissue.
Gingivoplasties for reshaping and aesthetic enhancement of the gingiva.
– Extraction of crowded teeth to facilitate orthodontic treatment.
All these interventions are performed under the careful supervision of the coordinating dentist and may involve the use of deep or conscious sedation, under anesthesia.
Dental surgery may be necessary for a variety of reasons, such as tooth extractions, dental implants, treatment of periodontal diseases, correction of bone or gingival anomalies, and other interventions to improve oral health.
Dental surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, which makes the procedure relatively painless during the intervention. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort or mild pain, but the dentist will prescribe medication to manage these symptoms.
This can vary depending on the procedure, but typically, it takes several days to a few weeks to fully recover. The doctor will provide specific instructions regarding oral hygiene, diet, and activities to avoid during the recovery period.
Before undergoing dental surgery, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding preoperative diet, taking or discontinuing prescribed medications, and any other specific recommendations for the procedure. Additionally, it is important to discuss any questions or concerns you may have with the doctor.
