Oral Surgery & Surgical Extractions

Oral surgery covers procedures that go beyond routine dental care, such as removing impacted wisdom teeth, extracting broken or hard-to-reach teeth, preparing the bone before dental implants, and removing small cysts or growths in the mouth. Our team makes sure every procedure is carefully planned and based on a clear diagnosis, so the option recommended is the one that genuinely suits your situation.

Your dentist may suggest oral surgery if a wisdom tooth keeps causing pain or gum infection, is pushing against neighbouring teeth, or has only partly come through. It may also be needed for a tooth broken below the gumline, an unusual swelling or lump in the mouth, or when you would like implants but the jawbone needs to be built up first to support them.

Your care starts with a thorough examination and digital X-rays, and a 3D scan may be requested to locate nerves and roots accurately. Your dentist will explain the plan and what to expect before anything begins. Most procedures are performed under local anaesthetic with strict sterilisation standards, and minor surgeries are usually short, so you can typically go home the same day.

Some swelling and discomfort in the first few days is normal. Cold compresses, the medication your dentist prescribes and following the aftercare instructions all help you recover smoothly. Stick to soft foods, and avoid smoking and vigorous rinsing at first. At Smile Clinic, we offer close follow-up after surgery at our clinic in Damascus, with modern equipment and a team that takes time to put you at ease.
