Oral surgery is the branch of medicine concerned with operations on the hard and soft tissues of the mouth — tooth extraction, grafting and procedures in preparation for implants.

Thanks to the modern medical technologies used at clinics in Switzerland, operations are painless and gentle on the tissues. Doctors do everything possible to preserve the patient’s natural teeth — extraction is only a last resort.

The main tasks of oral surgery:

  • Surgical correction of oral pathologies;
  • Preparing tissues for prostheses;
  • Implantation;
  • Hard and soft tissue grafting (release of the lip and tongue frenulum);
  • Surgical treatment of oral tumours.

Surgical procedures are also used in orthodontic treatment. It is often necessary to extract impacted and malpositioned teeth. Where indicated, a tongue frenulum release can be performed.

Oral surgery also includes the placement of implants. Implantation is currently the most advanced method of replacing lost teeth: an artificial tooth root is implanted into the jawbone. Implant-supported prostheses are the strongest and most reliable option for replacing lost teeth.

All surgical procedures are carried out under anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia is mainly used, but general anaesthesia is also possible for complex, lengthy operations.

Swiss dentistry ensures that anaesthetic injections and wound healing are quick and painless, as oral surgery here relies exclusively on advanced technology and an innovative approach.

How to choose a clinic and be satisfied with the result

  • Equipment. First of all, you need to assess the equipment of the dental clinic you are visiting. Modern equipment and technology are what allow a dental practice to provide the highly qualified care you need.

Dental clinics that deserve your attention must have an X-ray unit, disinfection and sterilisation systems, and dental units with a workstation for an assistant. It is this set-up that makes “four-handed” dentistry possible, which has become standard practice in the developed countries of the world.

  • Reviews. Both positive and negative patient reviews of dental clinics will help you make your choice.
  • Cost. It is important to note that a clinic with modern equipment cannot treat patients at below-average prices. The cost will also depend on the procedure you choose; compare its price at several clinics and you will find it easier to decide.
  • The specialists’ qualifications. When choosing an oral surgery practice, it is essential to make sure of the professionalism, qualifications and experience of the medical staff. After all, the treatment and the outcome for your problem depend on your choice of doctor.
