Oral surgery: wisdom teeth, extractions and bone regeneration
Oral surgery treats problems that need more than a routine procedure, under local anaesthesia and with clear aftercare instructions.
What is this treatment?
Oral surgery covers surgical extractions, impacted wisdom teeth, removal of cysts at the root of a tooth and procedures that prepare the bone for implants.
Bone regeneration rebuilds areas where the bone has become too thin. A sinus lift creates space in the upper jaw, where it is needed to place implants.
Who is it for?
- Patients with impacted or partly erupted wisdom teeth
- Patients with a tooth that cannot be saved or removed simply
- Patients with an infection or cyst at the root of a tooth
- Implant patients who do not have enough bone
The stages of treatment
- 1Clinical and radiographic evaluation.
- 2The procedure under local anaesthesia.
- 3Stitches where needed, for optimal healing.
- 4Written aftercare instructions and a follow-up check.
How long does it take?
A simple extraction often takes a short appointment, while surgical cases take longer. First healing of the gum usually takes one to two weeks. Bone regeneration takes several months.

Frequently asked questions
Does a wisdom tooth always have to be removed?
Not always. Extraction is indicated if the tooth is impacted, causes crowding, causes decay in the neighbouring teeth, or if cysts are visible on the X-ray.
What is a surgical extraction?
It is used for impacted or not fully erupted teeth: it requires a small opening in the gum and stitches for optimal healing.
What should I do after an extraction?
Avoid hot and hard foods for 24 hours, do not rinse vigorously or spit on the first day to protect the blood clot, do not smoke, and apply ice to the outside of the face at intervals.
Is the procedure painful?
It is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during it. Swelling and discomfort are common for a few days and are managed with the medicines prescribed.
When should I contact the clinic after surgery?
Call us if you have heavy bleeding, swelling or pain that gets worse after the first days, or a fever.
What is a sinus lift?
It is a procedure that raises the floor of the maxillary sinus and adds bone material, so that implants can be placed in the back of the upper jaw.
