As a branch of dentistry, oral surgery focuses on surgical procedures involving the teeth, mouth, and jaw. Thanks to personalized anesthesia options, oral surgery procedures at our Bellevue Dental Clinic in Zurich are largely pain-free. During your consultation with our specially trained specialists, you can choose between local anesthesia, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia for most surgical procedures.
We offer a wide range of oral surgery services, including the following procedures:
Do you feel self-conscious about your appearance because the visible portion of your gums around your upper front teeth is more prominent than average, and do you therefore hesitate to laugh freely? If so, we offer an effective and long-lasting solution through oral surgery to correct your “gummy smile.” Depending on the specific cause of your gummy smile, we’ll restore harmony between your teeth and gums.
Are you considering dental implants even though your jawbone lacks sufficient volume for this treatment? With the help of a professional bone graft, we can quickly make your wish a reality—thanks to an oral surgery procedure, your jawbone will provide sufficient support for the dental prosthesis.
A special type of oral surgical bone graft is the so-called sinus lift. Our specialists reinforce the bone structure of your maxillary sinus to the point where it is fully capable of accommodating and supporting dental prostheses.
The eruption of wisdom teeth in the human jaw can lead to various complications affecting adjacent teeth and/or surrounding tissues. If examinations have shown that a patient’s wisdom teeth, which have not yet fully developed, will not have sufficient space in the jaw, early surgical removal of the wisdom teeth may be recommended. This helps prevent potential future complications (such as misaligned teeth).
If the root tip of a tooth is severely damaged or if there are persistent infections in the root tip area, apical resection is often the appropriate treatment. Oral surgical apical resection is frequently performed on teeth that have already undergone root canal treatment.
If a tooth cannot be saved due to irreversible damage, extraction is usually necessary. If the procedure cannot be performed as a simple dental extraction, we offer oral surgical tooth extraction.
