Treatment process

Surgical operations related to diseases of the oral cavity can be performed under general anesthesia as well as local anesthesia. Patients who have undergone major surgical operations are sedated and monitored. Before surgery, patients' comfort, current illnesses and concerns are taken into consideration and patients are cared for accordingly.

Diagnostics

In addition to traditional diagnostic methods such as radiographs, oral surgeons use advanced methods supported by tomography, which allow obtaining a 3D model of the exact structure of the patient's bones. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis can be made and surgical procedures can be planned before the operation.
