What is oral surgery?

Oral Surgery is the branch of dentistry responsible for performing surgical interventions in the mouth, teeth, gums and jawbone. Its aim is to resolve problems that affect oral health and that cannot be resolved with conventional treatments.

Although it is often associated with extractions, Oral Surgery goes far beyond that and is part of a comprehensive approach to oral health.

Do patients who need oral surgery present prior symptoms?

Oral Surgery may be necessary in different situations, including:

  • Wisdom tooth extraction
  • Impacted or retained teeth
  • Complex dental extractions
  • Dental infections or cysts
  • Preparation for implant treatments
  • Lesions or changes in the oral cavity

Not all extractions are the same, which is why a proper prior assessment is essential.

Most common types of oral surgery

1. Wisdom tooth extraction

Indicated when wisdom teeth do not have space to erupt correctly, cause pain, infections or affect other teeth.

2. Complex dental extractions

When a tooth is severely deteriorated, fractured or cannot be preserved through other treatments.

3. Pre-implant surgery

Preparation of the bone or tissues to ensure the success of future dental implants.

4. Treatment of infections or cysts

Removal of lesions that may affect the bone or soft tissues of the mouth.
