Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers procedures such as impacted wisdom tooth removal, difficult extractions, cyst operations, bone grafting, sinus lifts and surgical preparation before implants. Most of these procedures are performed in the clinic under local anesthesia, and patients usually return to their daily routine the next day.
Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually erupt between the ages of 17–25. When there is not enough room in the jaw, they can remain fully or partially impacted and lead to pain, infection, cyst formation and decay in the neighboring tooth.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers not only tooth extractions but also the removal of cysts in the jawbone, increasing bone volume for implants, correction of tongue and lip ties, and the surgical treatment of root-tip infections.
At our Çayırova dental clinic, surgical procedures are planned in advance with detailed X-rays or CT scans, and post-procedure care instructions are given to you in writing.

What affects the cost of wisdom tooth removal and oral surgery in Çayırova?
The fee for surgical procedures depends on how deeply impacted the tooth is and its position, the type of procedure (extraction, cyst, graft, sinus lift) and any additional materials used.
The exact fee is based on the treatment plan prepared after your examination and any necessary imaging, and it is clearly communicated to you before treatment begins. Quoting a price by phone or online without an examination does not allow for accurate planning, so we recommend filling out the preliminary assessment form or visiting our clinic.

Frequently asked questions about Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Does a wisdom tooth always have to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that have come in straight, can be cleaned, and cause no problems may not need to be removed. The decision is based on the examination and X-ray findings.
Does wisdom tooth extraction hurt?
Because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, you will not feel pain; you may only feel pressure. Pain afterward is controlled with medication.
How much swelling is there after wisdom tooth extraction?
Swelling usually peaks on the 2nd–3rd day and decreases noticeably within a week. Applying cold reduces swelling.
When can I go back to work after surgery?
Most patients return to their daily lives the next day. After difficult extractions, 1–2 days of rest may be recommended.
What is dry socket after an extraction?
It is a painful condition that occurs when the blood clot in the extraction socket is lost too early. Smoking, using a straw, and rinsing your mouth frequently increase the risk; it is easy to treat.
What is done if an impacted tooth is close to a nerve?
Its relationship to the nerve is evaluated with a CT scan, and the safest method is planned.
Is impacted wisdom tooth extraction available in Çayırova?
Yes. At our clinic, fully and partially impacted wisdom teeth are extracted under local anesthesia, with planning based on X-rays or a CT scan.
