Consultation with an Oral Surgeon

Most people believe that an oral surgeon is solely involved in tooth extraction, but this is far from true. The main task of oral surgery is to preserve dental units as healthy, with extraction often being a last resort when other treatments cannot resolve the pathological condition and its consequences.

The necessity for surgical intervention is primarily dictated by the rapid penetration of pathology into the depths of the tooth and the risk of possible infection of surrounding tissues, which can significantly affect the overall health of the individual. The issue often lies with the patient, who postpones visiting the clinic until the last moment when enduring acute pulsating pain becomes unbearable.

Under ordinary circumstances, during consultation and subsequent treatment, the patient is referred to the oral surgeon by adjacent dental specialists such as the therapist, orthodontist, orthopedist, and others. If a specific situation indicates that standard treatment is ineffective because the disease has progressed to a more complex level, more invasive intervention is necessary to address the problem.

When is a consultation with an oral surgeon needed?

Significant destruction of the tooth.
Severe advanced caries.
Lack of effect from conservative treatment.
Situations requiring surgical intervention.
Planned implantation operations and preparation for them.
Supplementary manipulations before orthodontic treatment.
Correction of speech requiring surgical intervention with tongue frenulum.

How does the initial consultation proceed at ORTHO clinic

During the initial consultation, the oral surgeon examines the patient’s oral cavity, assesses the condition of the soft and hard tissues, analyzes data from auxiliary examinations and information provided by adjacent specialists, and collects medical history. Based on the gathered information, the surgeon presents options for resolving the dental problem, discusses the advantages and possibilities with the patient, and develops an optimal treatment plan. The surgeon explains the consequences of the proposed treatment and the list of restorative procedures, providing recommendations for preparing for deferred/planned treatment.
