When Oral Surgery Is Needed
Oral surgery is used when standard dental treatments are not enough.
The most common situations include:
- Severely damaged or non-functional tooth
- infections at the root of the tooth
- impacted (non-erupted) wisdom teeth
- orthodontic preparations
- correction of soft tissues in the mouth
The goal is to eliminate the cause of the problem and prevent further complications.
Our Oral Surgery Services
Tooth extraction
The most common oral surgical procedure is performed when the tooth can no longer be saved.
Reasons for extraction:
- deep caries
- periodontitis
- Unsuccessful treatment of the canal
- Preparing for a prosthesis or orthodontic treatment
The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
Surgical tooth extraction
It is used when standard extraction is not possible.
The most common code:
- A broken root.
- curved roots
- Teeth that haven’t fully grown
The procedure involves a small incision and precise tooth removal, with a controlled and quick recovery.
Wisdom tooth extraction
Wisdom teeth often do not have enough space for proper growth, which can lead to:
- pain and swelling
- inflammation of the gums
- pressure on adjacent teeth
Timely removal prevents more serious problems and preserves the health of the entire jaw.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a procedure that removes the tip of the root of a tooth along with an infection.
It is done when:
- Classical treatment of the canal did not work
- there is a granuloma or cyst
This procedure preserves the tooth and avoids extraction.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a simple procedure that corrects the frenulum (a lace in the mouth).
Recommended for:
- The gap between the teeth
- Trouble with speech.
- Difficulty in babies (breastfeeding)
The procedure is quick and recovery is minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery
Does oral surgery hurt?
No. All procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so that during the intervention you do not feel pain, but possibly slight pressure.
How long does it take to recover after oral surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure, but in most cases it takes from a few days to a week. For more complex interventions, it may take longer.
How long does tooth extraction take?
A simple tooth extraction takes 5 to 10 minutes, while surgical extraction can take longer, depending on the complexity.
When is it necessary to have a surgical tooth extraction?
When the tooth cannot be extracted in the standard way, most often with impacted wisdom teeth, broken root or improper position of the tooth.
Do I have to remove wisdom teeth if they don’t hurt?
Not always, but if they do not have enough space or can cause problems, preventive extraction is recommended.

Soft and cooler foods such as yogurt, purees, soups and puddings are recommended. Avoid hard and hot foods for the first few days.
When will I be able to return to normal activities?
Most patients return to daily activities after 1 to 2 days, while avoiding heavy physical exertion.
