Jaw Surgery

Safe and Precise Surgical Solutions for a Healthy Smile

Surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaw, and facial structures require advanced technology, expertise, and meticulous planning. At Papatya Dental Clinic, every jaw surgery treatment is carefully tailored to your individual needs, restoring both oral function and facial aesthetics.

What Is Jaw Surgery?

Jaw surgery, also known as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, is a specialized field that covers surgical procedures involving the mouth, teeth, jawbones, and surrounding tissues.

From impacted tooth extractions and bone grafting to cyst removal and implant surgery, a wide range of procedures can be performed safely through detailed examination and digital treatment planning.

Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, panoramic X-ray, and 3D CBCT scan. This allows us to minimize surgical risks while ensuring the most comfortable recovery process possible.

When Is Jaw Surgery Needed?

Jaw surgery can be recommended to treat a variety of oral and jaw-related conditions. Following your consultation, we will determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your individual needs.

Impacted Teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. They can be safely removed using advanced surgical techniques.

Bone Preparation Before Dental Implants

When the jawbone does not provide sufficient support for dental implants, procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting may be performed to create a strong foundation for successful implant placement.

Jaw Cysts and Infections

Cysts, chronic infections, and damaged tissues affecting the jawbone can be surgically removed while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Jaw Trauma and Facial Injuries

Jaw and facial injuries resulting from accidents or trauma can be treated surgically to restore both function and appearance.

Complex Tooth Extractions

Broken teeth, retained roots, or teeth that cannot be removed using conventional methods can be extracted safely through oral surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is jaw surgery painful?

No. Jaw surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or swelling afterward is normal and can usually be managed effectively with prescribed medication.

Do all impacted wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not necessarily. However, if an impacted wisdom tooth causes pain, infection, gum disease, or damage to neighboring teeth, surgical extraction may be recommended. The best approach will be determined during your consultation.

How long does recovery take after jaw surgery?

Mild swelling and tenderness are common during the first few days. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within a few days, while complete healing depends on the type of procedure performed and usually takes several weeks.

What should I do after the procedure?

During the first 24 hours, it is important to protect the surgical area, avoid strenuous physical activity, refrain from smoking, and follow your dentist's medication and aftercare instructions carefully to support proper healing.

Why are bone grafting or sinus lift procedures performed?

If there is insufficient bone volume for successful dental implant placement, bone grafting or sinus lift procedures may be recommended to improve long-term implant stability. These procedures are planned according to each patient's individual needs.

Is jaw surgery in Turkey safe?

Yes. At Papatya Dental Clinic, all surgical procedures are performed by experienced professionals using advanced imaging technology in accordance with international sterilization standards.

Can I combine my treatment with a holiday?
