Oral surgery

Oral surgery in Durrës: at Smile Office, surgical procedures in the mouth are planned after an examination and, where needed, a CBCT 3D scan. Before any procedure, the dental surgeon explains the reason, the method, the risks and the aftercare.

What oral surgery covers

Oral surgery covers procedures on the teeth, the jawbone and the soft tissue of the mouth. Common examples are removing teeth that cannot be saved, removing wisdom teeth and preparing the bone for dental implants.

How it works

1. Examination and, where needed, a CBCT 3D scan.
2. An explanation of the procedure and the alternatives.
3. The procedure under local anaesthetic.
4. Written aftercare instructions and a follow-up check.

After the procedure

• Swelling and mild pain usually last a few days.
• Soft food that is not hot helps healing in the first days.
• Smoking slows healing and raises the risk of complications.
• If bleeding or pain increases instead of easing, contact the clinic.

Frequently asked questions

Does every wisdom tooth need to be removed?

No. A wisdom tooth is removed when it causes pain or infection, damages the neighbouring teeth or has no room to come through. The decision follows an examination and imaging.

When can I return to normal activities?

After simple procedures, normal activities usually resume after one or two days. The surgeon tells you the timeline for your case.
