Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Extractions, abscess treatments, and laser procedures
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the branch of dentistry that deals with surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaws, and face. From simple or complex tooth extractions to treatments for abscesses, cysts, or tissue reconstruction, oral surgery addresses conditions that cannot be treated through standard dental procedures.
All interventions are performed by performed by our experienced dental team and tailored to each case, with the goal of restoring oral health, preventing complications, and ensuring patient comfort.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved and must be extracted to prevent pain, infection, or problems with neighboring teeth. This may involve a baby tooth that hasn’t fallen out on its own, a root left in the bone, or wisdom teeth that don’t have enough space to erupt properly.
All extractions are performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Depending on the case, some extractions are simple, while others are more complex and may require minor surgery.
Abscess and Gum Inflammation Treatments
A dental abscess is an infection caused by a buildup of bacteria and pus, usually at the root of a tooth or in the gums. Symptoms include intense pain, swelling, sensitivity, and sometimes fever or a bad taste in the mouth.
O Gum inflammation (gingivitis or early periodontitis) is recognized by redness, bleeding when brushing, and discomfort.
To treat these conditions and remove the cause, the dentist may recommend a minor procedure such as incision and drainage of the abscess or removal of inflamed tissue (gingivectomy). In many cases, modern laser treatments help reduce bacteria, speed up healing, and minimize bleeding. These interventions are quick and significantly improve comfort while protecting oral health.
Lesions, Cysts & Tumors
Oral and maxillofacial surgery also deals with the removal of growths or lesions in the oral cavity:
• Dental cysts – small fluid-filled sacs that form at the root of a tooth or in the jawbone, usually from untreated infections. If not removed, they may grow and affect nearby teeth or bone.
• Epulis – a benign growth (small lump) on the gum. It is not cancerous but may cause discomfort or bleeding.
• Benign oral tumors – non-cancerous growths on the oral mucosa or gums. Even though they are not malignant, they can enlarge and cause issues, so removal is recommended.
Removing these formations helps protect the bone and maintain a healthy oral cavity long-term.
Bone Regeneration
When teeth are lost or infections occur, the jawbone may resorb (shrink and thin out). To prepare for implants or restore the correct structure of the dental arch, bone augmentation techniques are used. These involve adding bone grafts or biocompatible materials (e.g., Bio-Oss) to restore bone volume. This step is essential for complex treatments and for achieving stable, long-term results.
CGF – Concentrated Growth Factors
CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors) is a modern, natural method that supports rapid healing after dental surgery. It is prepared from the patient’s own blood, making it 100% biocompatible and safe, with no risk of adverse reactions.
When applied to the treated area, CGF accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, pain, and bleeding, and has an antimicrobial effect that lowers the risk of infection. It also helps prevent bone resorption, which is particularly important in areas where dental implants may later be placed.
Because it is derived from the patient’s own blood, the body integrates it perfectly, making recovery faster, more comfortable, and with far fewer post-operative complications.
