01 / Third molars

Your wisdom teeth deserve a well-informed decision.

Not every wisdom tooth needs removal. An assessment decides whether to treat or monitor.

  • Position and tissue evaluation.
  • X-ray when indicated.
  • Planned extraction if appropriate.
  • Personalised instructions and check-ups.
What you should know

Wisdom teeth may erupt normally or stay impacted. Sometimes they cause discomfort, infections or affect the neighbouring tooth.

Ask for an assessment if you have persistent back pain, swollen gums around the tooth, repeated infections, or another professional recommended removal.

How it is planned

  1. 01Assessment
  2. 02Planning
  3. 03Procedure
  4. 04Recovery

What to consider

  • Symptoms can have other causes.
  • Not every patient needs a CT scan.
  • Discomfort and swelling may follow.
  • Time off depends on the surgery and your activities.
Must all wisdom teeth be removed?+

No. Some healthy, functional ones can stay under professional monitoring.

Do all four have to come out?+

Not always. It depends on each tooth and the diagnosis.

Does it hurt?+

Appropriate anaesthesia is used. Discomfort and swelling may follow.

02 / Oral surgery

Precision for procedures that need specialised care.

Procedures on teeth, gums and supporting bone, planned according to your individual diagnosis.

  • Complex surgical extractions.
  • Assessment of impacted teeth.
  • Planning for your case.
  • Follow-up after the procedure.
What you should know

Some teeth, because of their position or condition, cannot be removed conventionally and need a surgical approach.

Not every impacted tooth needs surgery. The assessment decides.

What to consider

  • Each procedure has its own recovery.
  • Prior studies may be needed.
  • Tell us your medications and history.
Is an impacted tooth always operated on?+

No. Sometimes monitoring is advised; the assessment defines the path.

How long is recovery?+

It depends on the complexity and your conditions.

03 / Orthognathic surgery

When harmony also depends on structure.

Considered when a bite problem comes from the position of the jaws and orthodontics alone is not enough.

  • Relationship between the jaws.
  • Bite function.
  • Planning with orthodontics.
  • Interdisciplinary follow-up.
Some treatments combine orthodontics and surgery. See Orthodontics
What you should know

It may be considered for skeletal bite problems, major differences between upper and lower jaw or some asymmetries. Not every asymmetry needs surgery.

It is major surgery: it may require general anaesthesia, a hospital stay and a recovery that varies. The professional explains benefits, risks and alternatives.

How it is planned

  1. 01Maxillofacial assessment
  2. 02Orthodontic evaluation
  3. 03Studies
  4. 04Individual plan
  5. 05Preparation
  6. 06Procedure in an accredited institution
  7. 07Recovery
  8. 08Completion

What to consider

  • Post-operative swelling.
  • Temporary changes in sensation and function.
  • Risks of infection, bleeding or nerve injury.
  • No promise of perfect symmetry or instant recovery.
How is it different from orthodontics?+

Orthodontics moves teeth; orthognathic surgery repositions the jaws when indicated. They are often combined.

Does every bad bite need surgery?+

No. Many are treated with orthodontics or other options.

04 / Temporomandibular joint

Speaking, chewing and smiling also depend on your jaw.

The assessment identifies the source of pain or limitation and the appropriate options.

  • Persistent jaw pain.
  • Difficulty opening or closing.
  • Locking or changes in movement.
  • Discomfort when chewing.
What you should know

Diagnosis includes history, examination and studies when needed.

Many disorders are first managed conservatively. Only selected cases need minimally invasive or surgical procedures.

What to consider

  • These symptoms do not always mean a TMJ disorder.
  • A joint noise is not always disease.
  • Not every patient needs surgery.
Does jaw pain always need surgery?+

No. Many cases start with conservative options.

What if my jaw clicks?+

It can have several causes. If there is pain, locking or limitation, get it checked.

Rebuilding a smile can also begin in the bone.

    Coordination with oral rehabilitation
