Tooth extractions
Removal may be considered when a tooth cannot appropriately be retained or is causing a problem. Ask about alternatives, replacement of the tooth where relevant, and the expected healing process.
HOSPITALI CLINIC · ISTANBUL
Surgical Dentistry in Istanbul
Clear planning when your dental care involves surgery. Understand the clinical reason, the procedure, and the support needed for recovery.
Discuss your treatment ↗
PURPOSE
Address dental problems that require a surgical approach.
PLANNING
Clinical examination and imaging when appropriate.
RECOVERY
Procedure-specific instructions and follow-up planning.
UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS
What does treatment involve?
Surgical dentistry can form part of treating a problem tooth, preparing for an implant, or managing more complex dental needs. The right approach depends on the diagnosis and the structures involved. A surgical consultation should explain why the procedure is being considered and what alternatives exist.
Hospitali brings surgical planning into the wider dental-care conversation. Where treatment has several stages, the surgical and restorative plans need to work together. Your clinician explains the scope of the procedure, relevant health considerations, and what the recovery plan means for your visit to Istanbul.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
A plan matched
to your needs.
Wisdom tooth assessment
The position and condition of a wisdom tooth help determine whether treatment is needed. Imaging may help assess nearby structures and inform the discussion of surgical risks.
Bone grafting
A graft may be considered when additional bone support is needed for implant treatment. The material, method, timing, and effect on the overall schedule should be explained for your case.
Sinus-lift planning
In some upper back-tooth implant cases, increasing available bone below the sinus may be considered. This is an individualized surgical decision and can affect implant timing.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
What a thoughtful plan
can help you consider.
Understand the indication
Know the problem being treated and the reason a surgical option is proposed.
Coordinate the next stages
Connect surgery to future restoration, healing, and review appointments.
Prepare for recovery
Make arrangements around the expected care needs after your procedure.
COMPARE THE APPROACHES
Understand the differences.
| Approach | What it addresses | What to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction / wisdom tooth surgery | A tooth-related clinical problem | Discuss the reason for removal, nearby structures, and replacement if needed. |
| Bone grafting | Additional bone support for an implant plan | Ask about graft material, healing, extra procedures, and alternatives. |
| Sinus lift | Selected upper-jaw implant cases | Discuss sinus-related risks and whether implant placement is simultaneous or staged. |
YOUR TREATMENT, STEP BY STEP
Know what happens next.
History and assessment
Explain your symptoms, previous treatment, medicines, allergies, and relevant medical history. Your clinician examines the area and decides which investigations are needed.
Discuss the options
Review why surgery is recommended, alternatives, expected benefits, and the implications of delaying or declining treatment.
Plan anaesthesia and care
The clinician explains the appropriate anaesthetic approach and any preparation instructions. Sedation or general anaesthesia requires a separate suitability discussion and confirmed arrangements.
The procedure
Treatment follows the agreed plan, with the clinician explaining the relevant stages. The exact approach depends on the tooth, bone, and surrounding structures.
Initial recovery
Receive written instructions about the treated area, cleaning, eating, activity, and any prescribed medication. Confirm how to seek advice if recovery does not follow the expected course.
Review and next treatment
Follow-up checks inform the next stage. Where surgery is part of an implant or restorative plan, healing may determine when further appointments can proceed.
RECOVERY & CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Plan for care
after treatment.
Recovery and follow-up
Healing varies with the procedure and the individual. You may need to adjust eating, activity, and oral hygiene according to your written instructions. Ask whether you need a companion, how review appointments are arranged, and when travel is appropriate. Do not change prescribed medicines without advice from the clinician responsible for them.
Risks and alternatives
For tooth-removal surgery, risks can include bleeding, infection, dry socket, and injury to nearby structures or nerves. Grafting and sinus procedures have their own risks. The clinician should explain the ones relevant to your case. Severe or worsening symptoms, persistent bleeding, or breathing or swallowing difficulty require prompt appropriate care.
This is general information. Your clinician will explain suitability, benefits, risks, and alternatives for your case. Outcomes and treatment times vary.
COSTS & VISIT PLANNING
A clear proposal
before you decide.
Check the exact surgery, anaesthesia arrangements, imaging, graft materials where applicable, reviews, and the subsequent restorative work. Ask what happens if the surgical findings change the original plan and how any additional treatment would be discussed and priced.
We can coordinate your visit around the proposed appointment schedule. Confirm your package inclusions and leave room for clinically necessary changes before arranging flights or accommodation.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Surgical Dentistry FAQs
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. The decision depends on the tooth and whether it is causing, or is likely to cause, a clinical problem. Ask why removal is being recommended in your case.
Can bone grafting and implants happen together?
Sometimes they may be planned together; other situations require staged treatment. Your anatomy, the procedure, and clinical findings guide the decision.
Will I be asleep for surgery?
Not necessarily. Anaesthesia choices depend on the procedure, your health, and the available clinical arrangements. Ask what is proposed and whether you need a companion or any preparation.
Can I fly home immediately afterwards?
Travel timing should be agreed with your treating clinician. The procedure, recovery, and review needs matter; a single rule does not suit every operation.
What if I have a problem after returning home?
Use the aftercare contact route provided by Hospitali and seek local in-person care when needed. Urgent symptoms should not wait for an online reply.
Do you assess complex jaw-surgery cases?
You can enquire about complex needs. Corrective jaw surgery requires detailed specialist assessment and coordinated planning; the treatment setting and responsible team must be confirmed for the individual case.
