The importance of oral surgery
Oral surgery includes all surgical procedures performed in the oral cavity to treat or correct various dental and jaw issues. These procedures may include tooth extractions, correction of deformities, bone preparation, dental implant placement, and the treatment of certain lesions or infections.
At Soins dentaires Stephan, our goal is to make these treatments as comfortable and safe as possible through modern techniques and personalized care. Oral surgery is not only curative — it can also be preventive, for example by removing problematic teeth before they cause more serious complications.
How oral surgery works
Each procedure begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a clinical exam and, if necessary, X-rays to fully understand the condition of the tooth or area to be treated. During the consultation, we explain the available options, the steps of the procedure, and the post-operative care required.
During surgery, local anesthesia is used, and in some cases, conscious sedation may be offered to ensure maximum comfort. The procedure is performed in a sterile and controlled environment using precise instruments to promote faster healing and minimize risks.
Follow-up and recovery
After oral surgery, post-operative follow-up is essential. We provide clear instructions, including pain management, hygiene practices to follow, foods to eat or avoid, and warning signs to watch for.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure: some surgeries require only a few days of rest, while others may need a longer healing period. In all cases, our team is available to answer your questions and ensure personalized follow-up.
