Oral Surgery in Sant Just Desvern
Precision, safety and confidence in tackling complex treatments
Accuracy and reliability
Oral surgery is the dental specialism responsible for diagnosing and treating conditions that require surgical intervention within the oral cavity. Although many people associate oral surgery solely with the extraction of wisdom teeth, the reality is that it encompasses a wide range of procedures designed to preserve oral health, restore function and prepare the mouth for other dental treatments.
At VARCHI Dental Clinic, we understand that the word ‘surgery’ can cause concern or uncertainty. That is why we pay particular attention to diagnosis, planning and communication with each patient, so that the entire process can proceed with the utmost peace of mind and confidence. Our aim is to offer precise, safe and minimally invasive treatments, drawing on advanced diagnostic technology and carefully planned surgical protocols.
Each procedure is assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best possible outcome, minimise post-operative discomfort and promote a swift and comfortable recovery. Modern oral surgery makes it possible to resolve problems that previously could have seriously compromised dental health, thereby improving quality of life and facilitating restorative treatments such as dental implants, dentures or orthodontics.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery is the dental specialism dedicated to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, disorders or injuries affecting the teeth, gums, jawbones and soft tissues of the oral cavity. Its aims can vary widely.
In some cases, it is carried out to treat infections or remove teeth that cannot be saved. In others, it enables the correction of anatomical abnormalities, the preparation of the bone for the placement of implants, or access to structures that cannot be treated using conventional procedures.
Oral surgery plays a key role within multidisciplinary dentistry, as many treatments require a sound surgical foundation in order to achieve predictable and long-lasting results.
Thanks to advances in digital diagnostics, three-dimensional planning and modern surgical techniques, it is now possible to carry out procedures with a high degree of precision and comfort for the patient.
Solutions
Common treatments in oral surgery
Each stage of growth presents different needs. Our aim is to tailor treatments to each child’s age, development and clinical condition.
Tooth extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, we carefully consider extraction as an option to protect oral health and facilitate future restoration.
Wisdom tooth extraction
We recommend their removal when they cause discomfort, infections or a lack of space, or when they may affect neighbouring teeth.
Pre-prosthetic surgery
We prepare the tissues and structures of the mouth to improve the fit, stability and functionality of future dentures.
Bone regeneration
It helps to restore lost bone volume and create suitable conditions for treatments such as dental implants.
Maxillary sinus lift
It increases bone volume in the posterior region of the upper jaw when there is insufficient bone to place implants.
Surgery for dental implants
We plan the placement of implants with precision to ensure a stable, functional and long-lasting foundation for the future restoration.
Instructions
When might oral surgery be necessary?
There are numerous clinical situations that may require surgical intervention.
What is the recovery process like after oral surgery?
Recovery will depend on the type of procedure carried out and the individual characteristics of each patient. Most procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic and allow patients to return home the same day.
It is common to experience slight swelling or tenderness during the first few days, although these symptoms are usually temporary and can be managed by following the recommended guidelines.
We provide detailed instructions to promote proper healing and offer personalised follow-up care for each case. Our aim is to support the patient throughout the entire process to ensure a comfortable and safe recovery.
