Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Specialized Care for Facial, Jaw, and Oral Conditions
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) represents a unique branch within dentistry, focusing on diagnosing, surgically treating, and reconstructing issues related to the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. OMFS specialists are highly skilled, with dual expertise in dentistry and medicine, providing a comprehensive approach to a wide array of conditions.
It is an oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery treatment method that was developed for tooth deficiencies and is frequently used today. In implant treatment, the missing tooth is restored by embedding a screw-shaped retainer into the jawbone with a small operation. In this way, natural tooth comfort and aesthetic appearance are obtained through artificial roots.
No, not always. If the impacted tooth is associated with cyst or tumor formations, if it is likely to cause fractures, if it causes abscesses, it should be extracted.
No. If the wisdom teeth, which have erupted in the mouth without any problems, have a healthy structure, they do not need to be extracted. 20-year-old teeth with advanced caries, which cannot be easily cleaned, and which have erupted towards the cheek or tongue, should be extracted for health reasons.
Impacted tooth extraction, which is among the oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery applications, is performed in a clinical setting and under local anesthesia.
Since the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, it does not cause pain.
No. Depending on the procedure to be performed, local or general anesthesia can be applied. Operations performed under the control of specialist dentists are mostly performed under local anesthesia. however, in cases where more severe and comprehensive interventions are required, general anesthesia can be applied.
Extraction is not always performed for cysts at the root ends of the teeth. If these formations are in the initial stage, alternative treatment can be applied. Thus, no shooting is required. The problem can be completely eliminated with root canal treatment and subsequent root tip surgery. Thus, it can be ensured that the problematic tooth continues to exist in the mouth for many years.
Treatment prices vary depending on which treatment method will be used. Factors such as the size of the problem, the age of the patient, the treatment equipment used, whether additional treatments are needed, and the duration of treatment also affect the price. You can get treatment process and price information by having a detailed interview with your specialist dentist.
