What is dental surgery ?

Dental surgery is a group of specialized procedures designed to treat complex oral conditions, improve oral health and restore the function and aesthetics of the smile. 

At White, we offer a full range of surgical treatments, including surgical extraction of teeth, including wisdom teeth. But also bone and gum grafts to strengthen tooth structure and prepare for implant placement, and excision of oral lesions to diagnose and treat tissue abnormalities.

 

These procedures are carried out by experienced specialists in a safe, sterile environment, to ensure optimum results and maximum comfort for our patients.

Extraction of
wisdom teeth

Extraction of wisdom teeth, or third molars, is a common procedure to relieve pain and prevent possible future complications. These teeth, located at the ends of the jaws, can sometimes run out of room for proper eruption, leading to pain, infection or damage to adjacent teeth. Extraction is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and the number of teeth to be removed. A prior consultation with a dentist or stomatologist is essential to assess the position of the teeth and plan the procedure.

Sinus bone grafts,
and vertical bone grafts

Sinus, lateral and vertical bone grafts are surgical procedures designed to restore bone volume in areas where it is insufficient, particularly with a view to placing dental implants. Sinus lift involves lifting the maxillary sinus membrane and filling the space created with graft material, thereby increasing the bone height available for implantation. Lateral and vertical grafts aim to widen or enhance the bone crest, depending on the patient's specific needs. These procedures are crucial to the stability and durability of dental implants.

Gingival grafting

Gingival grafting is a procedure designed to strengthen the soft tissue around teeth and implants. It is indicated in cases of gingival recession, where the gums recede, exposing the root of the tooth and increasing the risk of sensitivity and decay. The procedure involves removing a fragment of gum tissue, usually from the palate, and grafting it onto the affected area. This procedure protects teeth from external aggression, improves smile aesthetics and contributes to the overall health of the oral cavity.

Excision of oral lesions

Excision of oral lesions is a surgical procedure designed to remove abnormalities present in the oral cavity, such as cysts, benign tumors or persistent ulcerations. This procedure not only effectively treats these abnormalities, but also provides a sample for histopathological examination, ensuring an accurate diagnosis. Early detection and excision are essential to prevent the progression of potentially malignant lesions and ensure appropriate management.

When should you seek medical advice ?

Several signs may indicate the need for surgery :

 

  • Painful or malpositioned wisdom teeth
    These can cause infection, pain and orthodontic complications.
  • Significant bone loss
    Often detected during an X-ray examination, this may require bone grafting to support dental implants
  • Gum recession
    If your gums recede, gingival grafting may be necessary to protect the roots and improve smile aesthetics
  • Presence of suspicious oral lesions
    Rapid diagnosis and surgical excision can prevent serious complications

did you know ?

Are oral lesions always serious ?

No, not all mouth sores are serious, but it is important to have them examined. Some may be benign, such as canker sores or cysts, while others require special attention to rule out more serious conditions. An excision allows the lesion to be removed and a precise diagnosis to be made thanks to laboratory analysis.

When do I need a gingival graft ?

Gingival grafting is necessary in cases of gingival recession, when the gums recede and expose the roots of the teeth. This can cause severe sensitivity, an increased risk of root caries and an unattractive appearance. This procedure strengthens the gums, protects the roots and improves the appearance of the smile.

What is a bone graft and why is it necessary ?

A bone graft rebuilds missing bone volume, often due to tooth loss or periodontal disease. This procedure is essential for placing dental implants or preserving facial structure. Sinus, lateral or vertical grafts are tailored to the patient’s specific needs, ensuring a solid, durable base for dental restorations.

Is the extraction of wisdom teeth painful ?

Not at all. The extraction is carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring a painless procedure. After the operation, painkillers are prescribed to manage any discomfort. Pain is generally minimal and disappears after a few days, especially if you follow the post-operative recommendations.
