Oral surgery and extractions

Diagnosis and surgical treatment to correct and refine possible abnormalities and lesions

Oral surgery is a dental speciality focused on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of oral pathologies. Its goal is to correct and refine abnormalities or injuries affecting the oral cavity. Many of the procedures performed in a dental clinic are considered oral surgery.

Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures. The purpose of this surgical intervention, known as an exodontia, is to remove one or more teeth when necessary — such as in cases of extensive decay, fractures, wisdom teeth, or periodontal disease — and when no other alternative treatment is viable.

Procedure for oral surgery and extractions

  • The specialist carefully studies and analyses each case before performing the surgery.
  • X-rays are taken to evaluate the condition of the teeth and plan the procedure precisely.
  • The extraction is carried out under local anaesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure.
  • After the surgery, the dentist may prescribe painkillers, anti-inflammatory medication and/or antibiotics to support healing and relieve any minor discomfort.
  • Recovery is usually quick, and postoperative discomfort typically subsides within a few days.

Benefits of dental extractions

  • Thanks to modern technology, extractions are simple, effective and fast procedures.
  • Contemporary extractions cause minimal discomfort and carry very low risk.
  • They provide a safe solution when preserving the tooth is not possible.
  • They help eliminate pain and infection, preserving overall oral health.
  • They overcome the traditional fear of oral surgery, being painless and highly controlled procedures.

Frequently asked questions about oral surgery and dental extractions

Before performing oral surgery, your dentist at Clínica Dental Art will assess your general health and explain the necessary preoperative instructions.
In general, it is recommended to:
  1. Maintain good oral hygiene in the days leading up to the procedure.
  2. Avoid heavy meals immediately before the appointment.
  3. Inform the dentist about any medications or medical conditions.
  4. Bring someone along if undergoing a more complex procedure (such as wisdom tooth extraction).
  5. Following these recommendations helps ensure a smooth procedure and an optimal recovery.
Oral surgery focuses on surgical procedures within the mouth — teeth, gums and nearby tissues — such as extractions, implants, frenectomies, cyst removal or treatment of minor injuries.
Maxillofacial surgery, on the other hand, includes more extensive procedures involving facial bones, the jaw or the temporomandibular joint.
At Clínica Dental Art, we safely perform outpatient oral surgeries in our clinic, referring only the most complex cases to a maxillofacial surgeon when necessary.
