Dental Surgery

What does dental surgery include?

Dental surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at treating teeth, gums, bones and jaw joints. The main procedures performed at Trita Dent are:

Tooth extractions

Extraction is the surgical removal of a tooth when it can no longer be saved with conservative treatments. It is indicated in cases of:

• Severely damaged or infected teeth
• Problematic wisdom teeth
• Dental fractures
• Preparation for orthodontic or prosthetic treatments

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, atraumatically, preserving surrounding tissues as much as possible.

Dental implants

Dental implants are the most advanced, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They are biocompatible titanium structures inserted into the jawbone that act as artificial roots for new teeth.

Main advantages:

• Stability and functionality similar to natural teeth
• Prevention of bone resorption
• Maximum aesthetics and comfort

At Trita Dent, CE-certified implants are used, planned with CBCT and 3D scanning, for maximum precision.

Gum surgery

(Gingivectomy and gingival grafts)

These procedures are performed for functional and aesthetic reasons:

• Gingivectomy: corrects excess gum tissue or gingival asymmetry (gummy smile)
• Gingival grafts: treat gingival recession, protecting roots and improving aesthetics

These treatments help to:

• Maintain periodontal health
• Reduce dental sensitivity
• Improve the appearance of the smile

Jaw disorder treatments

Dental surgery also includes treating problems of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), such as:

• Pain when opening/closing the mouth
• Joint noise
• Limited jaw movement

Treatment is planned in a multidisciplinary manner, depending on the cause and severity of the disorder.

Post-operative care

Post-operative care is essential for rapid and complication-free healing. Main recommendations include:

• Maintain oral hygiene according to the dentist's instructions
• Avoid hard and hot foods for several days
• Take recommended medications
• Avoid smoking and alcohol during the healing phase
• Follow-up visits according to the treatment plan

At Trita Dent, patients receive detailed post-operative instructions, personalised for each procedure.

Benefits of dental surgery

• Eliminates chronic pain and infections
• Restores normal chewing function
• Improves long-term oral health
• Improves smile aesthetics
• Increases self-confidence and quality of life

When performed professionally, dental surgery is safe, effective and long-lasting.

Frequently asked questions about dental surgery

Is dental surgery painful?

No. Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and are virtually painless. After the procedure, mild discomfort may occur that is easily managed with medication.

What are the symptoms after dental surgery?

The most common symptoms are:

• Moderate tenderness or pain
• Minimal bleeding in the first 24 hours

These are normal and will disappear within a few days.

Who is dental surgery indicated for?

It is indicated for patients with:

• Damaged or missing teeth
• Advanced infections
• Periodontal problems
• Bone loss
• Functional jaw problems

Each case is assessed individually after clinical and radiological examination.

Is it possible to place implants for the entire mouth?

Yes. With modern techniques such as All-on-4 or All-on-6, implants can be placed so that the entire jaw is filled with teeth in patients with total tooth loss.

What is the ideal age for dental implants?

The minimum age is 18 years, as the bone must be fully developed. There is no maximum age: implants can be placed even in older patients, as long as general health conditions and bones permit.

Dental surgery at Trita Dent is performed with the utmost commitment to safety, functionality and aesthetics. With detailed planning, modern technologies and a personalised approach for each patient, we aim not only to treat the problem but also to improve quality of life.
