Comprehensive Oral Surgeries

Precision and Care for Every Smile

Oral surgeries are a set of surgical procedures performed within the oral cavity, usually under local anesthesia in the clinic, where the patient is fully conscious and able to respond to the dentist. In some cases, these procedures are performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting, especially for complex and lengthy cases, or when the patient suffers from severe dental phobia and prefers to be completely unconscious during the surgery.

Management and Drainage of Dental Abscesses

Dental abscesses are inflammatory conditions that can arise from tooth decay or infections affecting the surrounding periodontal tissues. They may present as:

Small abscesses within the soft tissues (gums)
Deep abscesses within the bone surrounding the tooth

Clinical and radiographic examination is essential to determine the type and origin of the abscess. The timing and method of surgical intervention depend on the size, nature (acute or chronic), and whether the abscess is fluctuating or diffuse.

Small and medium-sized abscesses are typically drained in the clinic under local anesthesia. This is done by making a small incision at the most fluctuant point of the abscess, while considering vital and aesthetic facial structures when drainage is performed extra-orally. A drainage strip is then placed and secured to maintain evacuation of pus until the final treatment—such as root canal therapy or extraction—is completed.

Abscess drainage is moderately painful but always performed under local anesthesia. Pain increases with larger or widely spreading abscesses; in such cases, hospital referral is recommended to avoid complications.

Antibiotics are usually prescribed before and after the surgical procedure to support the body in fighting infection and to prevent bacteria from spreading into the bloodstream.

Surgical Exposure of Impacted Teeth

This is a procedure in which the crown of an impacted tooth is surgically exposed — typically a impacted canine or premolar — that is unable to erupt into its proper position. The goal is to facilitate its guided eruption into the correct place within the dental arch as part of orthodontic treatment. This is achieved by bonding an orthodontic bracket onto one of the tooth’s surfaces, which is then used to gradually pull the tooth into position using elastics attached to the orthodontic appliance.

Surgical exposure is a very simple procedure, usually performed under local anesthesia. It involves making a small surgical incision at the nearest point to access one of the tooth’s crown surfaces. In some cases, the procedure can also be performed using a laser, which may make it virtually painless.

Oral Investigative or Excisional Biopsies

Certain changes may occur in the natural structure of the oral mucosa. These can be noticed accidentally by the patient or discovered during routine dental visits. These changes may include:

Alterations in the color of the oral mucosa (such as white, red, black, or other discolorations)
Changes in appearance such as ulcers, bumps, or raised areas on the oral mucosal surface

A definitive diagnosis of these conditions is made in the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery clinic through several procedures that determine their nature and level of risk. These procedures include:

Oral swabs
Investigative (incisional) biopsies
Excisional biopsies

Samples are sent to a specialized laboratory for microbial, histological, or immunological examination.

Treatment can be surgical or laser-based if the case is simple. If the changes are complex or suspected to be malignant—such as in cancerous tumors—the patient is referred to a hospital where a multidisciplinary team takes over the management and treatment.

Jaw Cysts (Odontogenic Cysts)

Jaw cysts are dental-related conditions. They may develop due to infections or abscesses in teeth affected by decay or nerve death. They can also appear after root canal treatment. Some cysts originate from remaining tooth-forming tissues during childhood or adolescence—these are known as developmental cysts.
In the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery clinic, we remove small jaw cysts (up to 1 cm) under local anesthesia using simple, minimally invasive procedures.
Larger cysts are referred to a hospital for surgical removal under general anesthesia.

Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

This is a surgical procedure performed in the clinic under local anesthesia, serving as a final attempt by the surgeon to save the tooth and avoid extraction. The procedure involves surgically accessing the root apex within the bone from the nearest point, then separating it from the tooth, removing the surrounding inflammatory tissue, and sealing the root’s apical opening with a biocompatible material that prevents bacterial leakage and promotes proper bone healing in the area, thus preventing recurrence of apical inflammation.

This procedure is considered relatively simple when performed on a single tooth, especially in the anterior region. However, it becomes more challenging when the lesion is larger, the tooth is located deeper within the bone, has multiple roots, or is close to sensitive anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, or inferior alveolar nerve.

Tooth Extraction/Removal

Tooth extraction is considered the last resort by the dentist after all possible measures to preserve the tooth have been exhausted. This procedure is called tooth extraction.

The extraction can be simple, using instruments called an elevator and forceps (dental pliers), for teeth that are clearly visible in the jaw. Alternatively, the extraction can be more complex, requiring a surgical procedure that involves making an incision in the gum and removing bone to access the tooth, followed by suturing — as is the case with impacted teeth embedded in the bone.

Extractions are also performed under local anesthesia in the clinic, as it is considered a moderately difficult procedure. The patient will need to follow the dentist’s post-operative instructions for a few days before returning to their normal eating habits.
