Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

This is done to remove painful or decayed teeth, cysts or tumors.

When a tooth has not fully erupted in the jawbone, it is called an impacted tooth. Impacted teeth can damage other teeth, cause infection in the jawbone or cause pain because they take up space in the mouth. Extraction of impacted teeth is performed by a dentist under local anesthesia.

These are artificial roots that are placed in place of missing teeth. Implants are placed in the jawbone and integrate with the jawbone. Implants are the most natural and successful way to restore missing teeth. Implant surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia.

The sinuses in the upper jaw are located above the area where the tooth roots are located. The enlargement of the sinuses can prevent the formation of enough bone for the implant. In this case, sinus augmentation surgery is performed to enlarge the sinuses. Sinus elevation surgery is performed under local anesthesia.

Cysts and tumors that develop in the mouth, teeth and jaw area should be surgically removed. Cyst and tumor surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Jaw fractures can occur as a result of accidents or trauma. Treatment of jaw fractures requires the correct union of the fractured area. Treatment of jaw fractures is performed under general anesthesia.

The jaw joint is the joint that connects the upper and lower jaw. Jaw joint problems can cause problems such as pain, restricted jaw movement and crunching. Treatment of jaw joint problems can be done with medication, physical therapy or surgical intervention.
