Oral Surgery and Dental Implants

We do everything possible to ensure your dental surgery is as comfortable as possible.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are the most commonly performed procedures in oral surgery. They are generally straightforward and carried out by all dentists.

In some cases, especially for wisdom teeth, extractions can be more complex. This is referred to as a surgical extraction, which should be performed by a specialist or an experienced dentist in this field.

For complex extractions, such as wisdom teeth removal, proper preparation is crucial. In such cases, a panoramic X-ray, known as an “OPT,” is performed beforehand to fully visualize the tooth or teeth in question. Pre-medication is also planned to minimize postoperative discomfort.

Dental Implants

Following the healing period after an extraction, it is essential to fill the gap with a new tooth to restore normal dental articulation for the patient.

A dental implant allows for the replacement of the extracted tooth. It consists of a crown mounted on a screw. The screw, acting as the root, is inserted into the bone to ensure optimal stability.

This procedure is performed by our dentists under local anesthesia at our dental clinic.

We use Straumann implants, one of the global leaders in implant systems. Developed and manufactured in Switzerland, these implants feature advanced Swiss-made technology.

The crown is crafted in collaboration with local technicians to guarantee a precise and aesthetic result.

Post-Surgery Care Tips

During the first 24 hours after oral surgery, you may experience a slight blood taste, and minor bleeding from the wound is common. General recommendations include:

Avoid rinsing your mouth repeatedly, as this can prevent the blood clot from forming in the wound.
Drink and eat only cold or cool foods, as heat dilates blood vessels and may cause further bleeding.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Refrain from intense or prolonged physical activity.

The dentists at Lausanne Smile Clinic will remind you of these recommendations after surgery and provide personalized instructions based on the procedure performed.
