ORAL SURGERY
Oral surgery covers various procedures such as diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries, defects of teeth, maxillae and adjacent soft tissues that require surgical intervention.
COMPLEX DENTAL EXTRACTION
Sometimes, the procedure to extract a tooth is more complicated than normal.

In these cases, the surgery procedures, the technology to use and even the medication, vary. Therefore, it is necessary that the professional who carries out the operation has previous experience in similar extractions.
EXTRACTION OF THIRD MOLARS

The purpose of this surgical procedure is to provide the prosthesis with a base that ensures the correct holding of your teeth and does not cause future oral problems.

It is a type of surgery under local anesthesia. A simple and precise procedure like this one does not cause any complications or pain. Wisdom teeth can be completely erupted, or be partially impacted or fully impacted. In the first case, the extraction is very similar to a conventional one, and there will be no associated discomfort during the postoperative period. If the molars are impacted or semi-impacted, we can suffer from inflammation and discomfort during the postoperative period.
Pick up the fractured tooth or piece and immerse it in whole milk or physiological saline. If this is not available, you can use your own saliva or water. If the teeth move, do not try to remove them. It is essential to go to the clinic as soon as possible. The sooner you go, the better, so you can get the adequate treatment.
