Oral Surgery in Warsaw
Oral Surgery in Warsaw
Oral surgery is the branch of dentistry covering procedures that go beyond conservative treatment: from the extraction of impacted teeth (wisdom teeth), through root-end resection (apicoectomy), to bone augmentation before an implant. At the Adent clinic in Mokotów, procedures are performed by dental surgeons with experience in maxillofacial surgery, under local anesthesia and planned on the basis of X-ray imaging (panoramic X-ray or CBCT, taken on referral at an external imaging center).

Oral surgery covers procedures that go beyond standard conservative treatment. At the Adent clinic we perform, among others:
Simple extractions
Removal of single-rooted teeth that are accessible in the dental arch.
Complex extractions
Removal of multi-rooted teeth or teeth with difficult access, requiring a surgical technique.
Wisdom teeth (impacted teeth)
Surgical removal of wisdom teeth that have not erupted properly and remain embedded in the bone or gum.
Root-end resection
Removal of the diseased part of the root through the bone when root canal treatment is not sufficient.
Bone augmentation and sinus lift
Rebuilding bone volume and raising the floor of the maxillary sinus to prepare the site for an implant.
Oroantral communication closure
Surgical closure of an opening between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus that has formed after an extraction.
Frenuloplasty (frenectomy)
Correction of a frenulum of the lip or tongue that is too short and affects speech, oral hygiene or tooth alignment.
Abscess incision
Decompression and drainage of an acute inflammation, which helps relieve pain.
The most common surgical procedure is tooth extraction, performed in cases of advanced decay that rules out restoration, chronic inflammation, deep root fractures, for prosthetic reasons, or when wisdom teeth are impacted.
Wisdom tooth removal (impacted teeth)
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often do not have enough room to erupt properly and remain impacted in the bone or gum, which leads to recurring inflammation, decay of neighboring teeth and pain.
How a surgical procedure works
Every procedure follows a predictable protocol: from diagnosis, through anesthesia and the procedure itself, to wound care and healing instructions.
- Diagnosis and planning
Medical history, clinical examination and X-ray imaging (panoramic X-ray or CBCT, taken on referral at an external imaging center). The starting point is a dental check-up, which makes it possible to assess the anatomy and plan the procedure.
- Anesthesia
Local anesthesia keeps discomfort to a minimum during the procedure; for patients with severe anxiety we offer sedation or treatment under general anesthesia.
- Surgical procedure
Tooth removal, resection or another procedure performed with a technique matched to the clinical situation, under sterile conditions.
- Wound care
Cleaning the socket, placing sutures if needed and allowing a blood clot to form, which acts as a natural dressing for the wound.
- Healing and follow-up
Suture removal and assessment of healing; discussion of the next steps: replacing the missing tooth with an implant or a prosthetic restoration.
Aftercare following oral surgery
Proper care after the procedure shortens healing and reduces the risk of complications. The key is to protect the blood clot in the socket.
- For 24 hours, do not rinse your mouth vigorously so as not to disturb the blood clot.
- Apply cold compresses to the cheek: they reduce swelling during the first day.
- For 48 hours, avoid smoking, alcohol, hot drinks and physical exertion, which slow down healing.
- Eat soft, lukewarm food on the side opposite the wound; brush your teeth gently, avoiding the wound.
Safety and contraindications
The dentist decides whether a patient qualifies for the procedure based on the medical history and examination. Some conditions and medications require extra caution or a consultation before the procedure.
- Anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications: inform the dentist and do not stop taking them on your own.
- Bisphosphonates and osteoporosis medications: they may affect bone healing and require individual assessment.
- Uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, reduced immunity: the procedure is planned in consultation with the patient’s attending physician.
- Pregnancy: elective procedures are best postponed; urgent ones are performed with due caution.

Frequently asked questions about oral surgery
Does tooth extraction hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which keeps discomfort during the extraction to a minimum. Afterwards there may be temporary swelling and discomfort, which can be eased with cold compresses and painkillers as advised by the dentist.
How long does wisdom tooth removal take and how much does it cost?
Surgical removal of an impacted wisdom tooth usually takes from a dozen or so minutes to several dozen minutes, depending on the position of the tooth. The cost depends on the level of difficulty (simple, complex or impacted extraction) and is determined after an X-ray assessment; indicative prices can be found in our price list.
What is an impacted tooth (wisdom tooth)?
It is a wisdom tooth that has not erupted properly and has remained in the bone or gum because of a lack of space. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause inflammation, pain and decay of neighboring teeth, which is why they often require surgical removal preceded by an X-ray.
How long does it take for the wound to heal after an extraction?
A blood clot forms during the first day, and the gum closes over the wound within 1–2 weeks; the bone takes longer to remodel. For the first 24 hours you should not rinse your mouth so as not to disturb the clot, and for 48 hours you should avoid smoking and alcohol, which slow down healing.
What is a dry socket?
A dry socket is a painful complication after an extraction in which the blood clot has not formed or has been lost, exposing the bone. It shows up as severe pain 2–3 days after the procedure. Smoking and rinsing the wound during the first day increase the risk; it requires a check-up and treatment of the socket by the dentist.
What happens after an extraction: how can the missing tooth be replaced?
The gap left by an extracted tooth can be filled with an implant (most often), a bridge or a denture. Under favorable conditions, the implant is placed immediately after the extraction. Leaving the gap leads to shifting of the teeth and bone loss.
What is root-end resection?
It is an endodontic surgery procedure that involves removing the diseased root tip through the bone. It is used when root canal treatment has not been effective and repeat treatment is not possible, and it makes it possible to keep the tooth instead of removing it.
Can teeth be extracted during pregnancy?
Elective surgical procedures are best postponed until after delivery. Urgent extractions (for example due to acute inflammation) are performed with due caution, usually in the second trimester, after consultation with the physician managing the pregnancy.
