Fears and concerns: talk to us about your apprehensions
Many patients experience anxiety about dental surgery, which is perfectly normal. Whether your fears are about pain, needles and injections, potential complications, or post-operative discomfort, it is essential to communicate openly with the dental team. Your dental surgeon is there to explain the procedure in detail and help you overcome your apprehensions. We can provide you with detailed information about the procedure, explain the options for anesthesia and pain management, and suggest relaxation techniques to help you feel at ease.
Our team takes your concerns seriously. That's why we believe it's important to provide each patient with attentive and detailed follow-up, explaining each step of the process. We use techniques and technologies to ensure the effectiveness of surgeries and your comfort during our procedures. Our attention to detail is a testament to our desire to make each of your visits to our clinics a positive and reassuring experience.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure in dentistry. Often necessary when these teeth cause problems with positioning, hygiene, or pain, extraction is performed according to a very precise surgical plan and using modern technologies. We take care to minimize discomfort and promote rapid recovery, ensuring the long-term health of your smile.
Gum Graft
A gum graft is a surgical procedure that aims to treat gum recession. This procedure helps protect the roots of the teeth and improve the overall appearance of the smile. Our dentists perform this treatment with delicacy and precision, ensuring natural-looking results and optimal gum health.
Bone Graft
A bone graft is a dental surgical procedure that adds bone tissue to an area of the jaw where there is insufficient bone volume. In dentistry, bone grafts are commonly used to increase the amount of bone available in the jaw, specifically when preparing for dental implants.
Best practices for a quick recovery after surgery
Dental surgery is often followed by a recovery period. It is important to follow the post-operative advice given by your dentist to promote proper healing of your oral tissues after the procedure. Here are some general tips that apply to most dental surgeries:
Carefully follow all instructions provided by your oral health professional. This includes taking prescribed medications, using mouthwashes, and pain management methods.
If necessary, take the medication prescribed by your dentist, always following the dosage instructions. Otherwise, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers, without exceeding the daily dose. If the pain persists or worsens after a few days, contact your dentist.
During the first few hours after surgery, applying ice can help reduce inflammation, reduce swelling, and relieve discomfort. Use a cold compress or apply ice, covered with a clean washcloth, for a maximum of 20 minutes per hour.
Avoid hard, hot, or spicy foods for the first few days.
Instead, opt for soft, warm foods such as purées, soups, yogurt, and smoothies.
Drink enough water to stay hydrated. Avoid drinking through a straw, as this could interfere with blood clot formation at the surgical site (in the case of an extraction).
Allow yourself time to rest and recover. Avoid strenuous physical activity for a few days. However, you may be able to return to work the next day, depending on your dentist's instructions.
Touching the surgical area with your tongue, fingers, or objects can interfere with healing and increase the risk of infection.
Follow your dentist's instructions regarding tooth brushing after surgery. Use an extra-soft toothbrush and follow the dentist's instructions for brushing.
Slight bleeding is normal after surgery. Use sterile gauze pads to control the bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop after a few hours or if it increases, contact your dentist immediately.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco during the recovery period, as these harmful substances interfere with healing.
Be sure to keep the follow-up appointments recommended by your dentist to check on your healing progress.
Be alert for signs of infection such as fever or pus discharge. If you notice any of these signs, contact your dentist immediately for an emergency consultation.
Each type of dental surgery may have specific requirements, so follow the personalized recommendations of your oral health professional.
