What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral Surgery is a specialized field of dentistry that deals with surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaws.

These procedures are performed when conventional dental treatments are not sufficient to restore oral health or function.

Common Oral Surgical Procedures We Perform

At Horizon Dental Clinic, our team is trained and equipped to perform a wide range of oral surgeries, including:

1. Surgical Tooth Extraction

Removal of broken, impacted, or infected teeth (including wisdom teeth) that cannot be extracted normally.

2. Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

A microsurgical procedure to remove infection at the root tip of a tooth after root canal treatment.

3. Cyst or Tumor Removal

Surgical removal of cysts, benign growths, or fibromas in the jaw, gums, or soft tissues, preserving surrounding healthy structures.

4. Bone Grafting and Ridge Augmentation

Rebuilding or adding bone where it has been lost — often done before dental implant placement or after tooth loss.

5. Frenectomy (Tongue Tie / Lip Tie Release)

A small surgical correction to release tight or restrictive tissues (frenum) for better speech, feeding, or denture fit.

6. Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

Minor surgical corrections in the mouth to prepare the tissues for comfortable denture placement.

7. Oral Cancer Screening & Biopsy

Early detection and confirmation of suspicious lesions or ulcers through oral biopsy — the most reliable method to detect cancer or pre-cancer changes.

Oral Cancer Biopsy — Early Detection Saves Lives

What Is an Oral Biopsy?

An oral biopsy is a small, painless procedure in which a sample of abnormal tissue (such as an ulcer, white patch, red lesion, or lump) is removed and examined under a microscope.

It helps in diagnosing:

Oral cancer
Precancerous lesions (leukoplakia, erythroplakia)
Chronic ulcers or unexplained swellings
Unusual growths, pigmentation, or persistent sores

Types of Oral Biopsies:

Incisional Biopsy: A small portion of the suspicious tissue is removed for diagnosis.
Excisional Biopsy: The entire lesion is removed if it’s small and accessible.
Punch Biopsy: A circular tissue sample is taken using a punch instrument.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC): Used for swellings or lumps to collect cell samples.

When You Should Get a Biopsy:

You should consult your dentist if you notice any of the following for more than 2 weeks:

Non-healing ulcers or sores
White or red patches on gums, tongue, or inner cheek
Painless lumps or thickened areas
Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or moving tongue
Unexplained bleeding or persistent pain

Early diagnosis through biopsy allows for timely treatment and a much better prognosis.

Why Oral Surgery Is Sometimes Needed

Oral surgical procedures are recommended to:

Remove infection or pathology
Restore oral function (chewing, speaking, aesthetics)
Prepare the mouth for prosthetics or implants
Relieve pain and prevent further complications
Diagnose underlying diseases like cysts or cancer

Every procedure at Horizon Dental Clinic is planned using digital imaging, X-rays, and 3D scans for maximum accuracy and safety.

Aftercare & Recovery Tips

Do’s:

Take prescribed medications on time.
Apply ice packs for 10–15 minutes to reduce swelling.
Eat soft, cool foods for the first 24–48 hours.
Keep your head elevated while resting.
Maintain gentle oral hygiene — rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours.

Don’ts:

Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or use straws for at least 72 hours.
Avoid spitting or rinsing forcefully on the first day.
Don’t disturb the surgical area with your tongue or finger.

Most minor oral surgeries heal within 5–10 days, depending on the complexity.
