Oral surgery
When your treatment needs a surgical procedure
In some cases, the path to a healthy mouth requires a surgical procedure, such as an extraction or the removal of a cyst.
Oral surgery includes procedures such as tooth extractions, cyst removal and surgery that complements other treatments. Each procedure is recommended after a consultation and clearly explained before it is carried out.
Indications
Who may it be for?
Depending on the case, it may be necessary when:
- A tooth cannot be saved and extraction is indicated.
- A cyst is identified that needs to be removed.
- A rehabilitation or implant treatment requires a prior procedure.
- Your clinician recommends it as part of your treatment plan.
Every case is different: only after a consultation can we know whether this treatment is right for you.
Our approach
How we approach it
Before any procedure, we review your case and explain what it involves, why it is indicated and what aftercare it requires. When the case calls for it, we work with specialists on the team, for example in maxillofacial surgery.
A clear indication
We only suggest a procedure when it is justified in your case.
Information beforehand
We explain the procedure and the aftercare before carrying it out.
Support throughout
We guide you through recovery and your follow-up visits.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does an affected tooth always need to be extracted?
Not always. When possible, alternatives to save it are considered, such as root canal treatment or rehabilitation. Extraction is indicated when the tooth cannot be kept.
What will recovery be like?
It depends on the procedure and on each person. Before the procedure, we explain what aftercare to follow and what to expect.
What is cyst removal?
It is a procedure to remove a lesion identified during the consultation or in complementary studies. Whether it is indicated is decided individually.
Can surgery be part of another treatment?
Yes. Sometimes it is a preliminary or complementary step to rehabilitation or implant treatment.
Who performs the procedures?
Procedures are carried out within the studio’s team and, when the case requires it, with specialists in maxillofacial surgery.
