Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions, injuries and defects in the mouth, teeth, jaw and facial structures.
Oral surgery plays an important role in solving complex dental and facial problems that cannot be solved by conventional dentistry alone. By combining dental knowledge with surgical precision, oral surgeons can effectively treat a wide range of conditions, improving oral health and overall well-being.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often erupt during late adolescence or early adulthood. However, due to the limited space in the mouth, these teeth can become impacted or grow in at an angle, leading to pain, infections and other complications.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common oral surgical procedure that aims to remove these problem teeth, preventing future oral health problems.
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are a revolutionary solution in the field of dentistry. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jaw, providing a solid foundation for tooth replacement.
This long-term solution provides a natural appearance and full functionality of the teeth, restoring confidence and oral functionality.
When choosing an oral surgeon, it is important to consider several key factors to ensure the success and safety of your oral surgery procedure. These factors include qualifications, experience, certifications, patient satisfaction, and communication style.
As an expert dentist, my goal is to provide you with superior care with a personalized approach during the entire treatment. Your well-being and safety come first to me.
After a tooth extraction, the time it takes for the wound to heal can vary. It usually takes a few days to a few weeks for the wound to close completely. It is important to follow your dentist's instructions and maintain proper oral hygiene to speed up the healing process.
Although oral surgery is generally safe and effective, complications can occur in rare cases. It is important to be aware of the potential risks and complications that may be associated with oral surgical procedures.
These can include bleeding, infection, nerve damage and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Following your oral surgeon's instructions carefully and reporting any concerns in a timely manner can reduce complications and manage them effectively.
Extraction of the nerve from the tooth, known as endodontic treatment, is usually performed to remove infection or preserve tooth structure. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient is pain-free during the procedure.
After the treatment, the dentist will give you care instructions and possible temporary symptoms that may occur.
After tooth extraction, it is recommended not to consume hot food and drinks during the first few hours. Also, avoid chewing on the side where the tooth was extracted.
Instead, choose soft foods, such as soups, purees, cooked vegetables and fruits. It is important to avoid hard food, bites that easily get stuck or irritate the wounds.
Extraction of a tooth under inflammation can be a more complex procedure than a normal extraction. The dentist will carefully assess the condition and may recommend additional steps or therapy to reduce inflammation before the extraction itself.
After the procedure, you may be prescribed antibiotics or pain relievers to help you recover faster and reduce discomfort.
After tooth extraction, temporary bad breath may occur. This is usually due to the presence of sores and swelling in the mouth. Regularly rinsing your mouth with a mild saline solution or antibacterial mouthwash can help control bad breath.
It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue to reduce bad breath.
After tooth extraction, you can continue with regular brushing, but be careful around the area from which the tooth was extracted. Avoid washing or brushing directly on the wound for a few days to give it time to heal.
After this period, gently brush the area around the wound and gradually return to normal oral hygiene.

In general, most people can expect a recovery period of about 7 to 10 days. It is important to follow the oral surgeon's postoperative instructions, including rest, pain control, and dietary restrictions.
The general rule is that the process of osseointegration, in which the implant fuses with the jaw, takes about 3 to 6 months. The dentist will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and a more accurate estimate of healing time.
After oral surgery, in the initial days after surgery, it is usually recommended to eat soft or liquid foods to avoid creating too much pressure on the operative area.
During oral surgery, you will be under the influence of anesthesia, which ensures that you do not feel pain during the procedure. After the procedure, the surgeon will prescribe appropriate medications to control any pain during the recovery period.
In some cases, there are non-surgical options to treat certain conditions instead of jaw surgery. These may include orthodontic therapy, orthognathic appliances, or other specialized therapies.
