Our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Treatments
Impacted Tooth Extraction (Wisdom Teeth)
Surgical removal of semi-impacted or fully impacted wisdom teeth in the upper and lower jaw is the most commonly performed oral surgery procedure.
When is extraction necessary?
- When the tooth cannot fully erupt (remains impacted)
- When it exerts pressure on adjacent teeth
- When it causes recurrent infection and pericoronitis
- When space is needed before orthodontic treatment
- When it leads to cyst formation
Impacted tooth extraction is performed in the clinic under local anesthesia. In complex cases or when multiple extractions are needed, the procedure can be performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
Dental Implant Surgery
This involves placing titanium implants into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Implant treatment performed by an oral surgery specialist particularly increases success rates in cases with bone deficiency.
- Single tooth and multiple implants
- All-on-4 / All-on-6 full-arch rehabilitation
- Guided implant surgery
- Zygomatic implants (for advanced bone loss)
Sinus Lifting
A surgical procedure that elevates the sinus floor to enable implant placement when bone height is insufficient in the upper posterior jaw region.
- Closed sinus lift: When bone height is partially adequate
- Open sinus lift: For severe bone deficiency
Bone Grafting
Application of bone graft material to areas with insufficient bone volume for implant placement. Synthetic, allograft, or autogenous bone materials are used.
Jaw Cyst and Tumor Treatment
Surgical removal of cysts and benign tumors that form in the jawbones.
Apicoectomy
A surgical procedure to clean infected tissue at the root tip in teeth that do not respond to root canal treatment.
Frenectomy
A corrective surgical procedure performed when the tongue tie or lip tie has an abnormal structure.
Jaw Fractures
Surgical treatment of jaw fractures resulting from trauma.
Surgery Under General Anesthesia
Extensive surgical procedures, multiple extractions, or treatments for patients with severe dental phobia are performed under general anesthesia at Atasehir Florence Nightingale Hospital's fully equipped operating theaters, alongside an experienced anesthesia team.
When is general anesthesia preferred?
- Multiple impacted tooth extractions
- Zygomatic implant surgery
- Extensive bone grafting operations
- Severe dental anxiety (dental phobia)
- Difficulty with cooperation due to medical conditions
