This specialty field covers the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth, cyst operations, implant surgery and the treatment of infections. Procedures are planned under local anaesthesia, with sedation support where deemed necessary. Before every surgical procedure, the proximity of the nerves and sinuses is assessed by radiological examination. The nature of the procedure, the healing period and possible situations are explained to the patient in advance; written aftercare instructions and a review appointment are given after the procedure. Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person.
