Oral & maxillofacial surgery in Al Buraimi

Understand the problem and intervention options, including preparation, an appropriate care setting and follow-up.

Surgical advice starts with a diagnosis

You may seek advice about a troublesome wisdom tooth, a tooth that might need surgical extraction or a step in implant care. Your clinician reviews the concern, examination and appropriate imaging before choosing an intervention. Oral and maxillofacial conditions vary in complexity: ask where your care can be provided and whether a different facility or referral is needed.

Does every wisdom tooth need removal?

An impacted or angled wisdom tooth does not automatically require extraction. Teeth causing no problems may be monitored, while pain, infection or damage can prompt a discussion about removal. The decision considers the examination, images and balance between the benefits and risks of intervention for your situation.

Before an extraction or procedure

Mention medicines, allergies and previous experiences with anaesthesia, and bring relevant reports. Discuss the proposed anaesthetic, the treatment setting and whether you need someone to accompany you or changes to work and driving arrangements. Follow individual instructions. Do not stop blood-thinning or other prescribed medication because of general information found online.

Have a clear discussion about risks

Possible wisdom tooth extraction complications include infection, dry socket and injury to nearby nerves. Ask about the risks linked to your particular tooth and what alternatives are available. Know whom to contact for bleeding that will not stop or pain and swelling that worsen. An appointment form should not delay urgent attention.

Recovery belongs in the plan

Before leaving, request written guidance about mouth cleaning, food, prescribed medicines and follow-up. Ask what to expect in the first few days and when to call directly. If implants may follow, clarify how the current procedure affects later steps and timing. Fees depend on the procedure, setting and agreed plan; a photograph alone cannot establish the complete cost.
