Başakşehir Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Painless Treatment Process with Modern Methods
What Does Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Cover?
Maxillofacial surgery (maxillofacial surgery) is not just about tooth extraction. It covers the diagnosis and treatment of all kinds of diseases affecting the soft tissues in the mouth (tongue, cheek, lip), tooth roots and jaw bones. The main treatments we successfully perform at OPC Clinic are:
- Impacted Wisdom Tooth Surgery: Surgical removal of wisdom teeth that are impacted in a horizontal or inverted position within the jawbone and put pressure on other teeth, without damaging the surrounding tissues.
- Dental Implant Surgery: The process of placing tissue-friendly titanium screws (artificial roots) into the jawbone to replace missing teeth.
- Jaw Cyst and Tumor Treatments: Cleaning of pathological formations (cysts) that can erode the jawbone, which are detected during routine check-ups or X-rays.
- Sinus Lifting (Sinus Floor Elevation): Lifting the sagging sinus cavity in the posterior region of the upper jaw to allow for implant placement and adding bone graft.
- Apical Resection (Root Tip Surgery): Root tip surgery for problems that do not heal with root canal treatment. Surgical cutting and cleaning of the root tip to save teeth with accumulated inflammation at the tip.
How is Painless Surgery Possible? (Modern Technologies)
The most common question our patients ask us when they step into our clinic in Başakşehir is: “Will I experience a lot of pain during or after the surgery?” Our answer is clear: No. Thanks to new generation technologies, pain is no longer a part of oral surgery.
We use advanced local anesthetics that only numb the area to be operated on in our operations. For patients with needle phobia (dental phobia), severe gag reflex, or those undergoing complex and lengthy operations, we offer Sedation (Conscious Sleep) or General Anesthesia options, ensuring they remember not a single second of the procedure.Furthermore, thanks to the Piezo Surgery (Ultrasonic Bone Cutting) technology we use in bone procedures, we can perform operations only on bone tissue without damaging soft tissues (nerves and blood vessels). This minimizes postoperative swelling and bruising.
