Surgical Examination

A surgical examination is a comprehensive medical evaluation process used to assess the structures within and around the mouth. The surgical examination service we offer at our dental clinic is designed to analyze your oral and maxillofacial health and determine the necessity of any potential surgical interventions.

What is a Surgical Examination?

A surgical examination is a detailed evaluation process of the structures in the oral and jaw regions. This examination is performed to diagnose conditions that may require surgical treatment and to develop appropriate treatment plans. During the examination, your dentist carefully examines the jawbone, gums, teeth, and other oral tissues.

When is a Surgical Examination Necessary?

Dental Problems: Evaluating issues such as cavities, fractures, or infections in the teeth and determining whether surgical intervention is needed.
Jaw Pain and Issues: Identifying the source of pain, discomfort, or functional problems in the jaw joint through examination.
Gum Diseases: Assessing conditions such as inflammation, swelling, or recession in the gums and determining the need for surgical treatment.
Dental Implants and Prosthetics: Evaluating the jawbone and gum structure before the placement of dental implants or prosthetics.
Oral and Maxillofacial Lesions: Diagnosing abnormal lesions in the mouth and determining whether surgical intervention is necessary.

How is a Surgical Examination Performed?

History and Symptom Evaluation: Information about the patient’s medical history and current symptoms is gathered, forming the basis of the examination.
Clinical Examination: Your dentist physically examines the oral and jaw areas, assessing the teeth, gums, jawbone, and other structures.
Imaging Tests: Additional tests such as X-rays or panoramic imaging may be performed to examine the jawbone and internal structures in more detail.
Diagnosis and Planning: Based on the examination and tests, it is determined whether any surgical intervention is necessary. Appropriate treatment options and surgical planning are also conducted.

Post-Care for Surgical Examination

Follow-up Appointments: If needed, additional check-ups and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the treatment process and healing.
