When is oral surgery necessary?
There are several pathologies that indicate the need for oral surgery; from extraction of teeth or wisdom teeth, to implants, and even soft tissue surgery or major surgeries such as orthognathic surgery for facial changes in patients who need it.
Are there many pathologies or problems that require oral surgery?
Oral surgery is a tool for the treatment of various pathologies, although more conservative options are always prioritized.
Is oral surgery an invasive technique and does it leave scars?
It is not necessarily an invasive technique; moreover, our team is trained to perform the least aggressive maneuvers to promote better healing of tissues.
A clear example is the placement of dental implants in cases in which after a study with CBCT scanner and digital planning, the placement is performed without having to open flap and minimizing the trauma to the tissues of our patients. Doing it this way favors a quick recovery with a minimal or even non-existent postoperative period.
How is this type of surgery performed?
Most minor interventions, with the exception of some complex surgeries we perform such as orthognathic surgery or tumor resection, are performed under local anesthesia and in the office.
Is anesthesia necessary?
In cases where the patient requests it, we have a team of anesthesiologists available to perform treatments in a more relaxed environment through conscious sedation. Thus, even phobic patients can easily receive the treatment they need with maximum peace of mind and without having to go through the risks of general anesthesia.
