Surgical treatments, which are among the treatments that require a certain experience and accumulation in dentistry, are the procedures applied by dentists in complicated cases. Today, surgical applications can be performed more painlessly and easily with local anesthesia or sedation method.
What are Surgical Treatments?
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
These teeth, which come out around the age of twenty, are 4 in total. Most wisdom teeth damage other tooth roots due to the timing of the outflow, and sometimes they can remain buried in the gum. These teeth, which begin to cause pain and damage to other teeth over time, are removed by surgical intervention under local anesthesia and complications that may occur in the region are prevented.
Sinus Lifting
Sinus elevation operations performed in cases where it is desired to apply implants to that area for the cavities formed in the upper jaw molar tooth area and there is not enough bone density are called sinus lifting. It is done in two ways, open and closed. If the bone height is below 3-4 mm, an open technique is usually applied for denser bone formation, and a closed technique is applied if it is more than 5 mm. After the operation, it is necessary to wait 3-5 months for implant placement.
Maxillofacial Surgery
The branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of anatomical disorders in the lower and upper jaw by surgical methods is called maxillofacial surgery. Most of the time, problems such as the jaw being too far ahead or behind are corrected by jaw surgeries and the patient is enabled to step into a more comfortable life.

A personalized fixed prosthesis can be placed on the implants on the same day. With this treatment, the patient regains chewing and speech functions and obtains a permanent living comfort.
Crowns
Crown coating process is a prosthesis that eliminates partial visual and functional disorders that occur in the form of teeth over time. After a certain abrasion and reduction process, bite-resistant crowns are produced and adhered to the tooth surface. Thus, the teeth are protected against external damage and an aesthetic appearance is obtained. In some cases, it is also performed to strengthen the teeth weakened after root canal treatment.
