Oral surgery is a dental specialty that involves surgical procedures within the oral cavity and jaw. It is required in various situations, such as wisdom tooth removal, difficult tooth extractions, removal of impacted teeth, bone growth (exostosis) surgery, and the removal of oral cysts or small tumors.
Although the term “surgery” may sound concerning, oral surgical procedures in dentistry are typically well planned, safe, minimally invasive, and relatively quick. With proper care and treatment by a specialist or expert in Oral Surgery or Maxillofacial Surgeon , recovery is usually smooth and prompt.
At Siam Dental Clinic, oral surgery is performed by experienced oral and maxillofacial specialists using modern equipment and advanced techniques to ensure maximum safety and minimize discomfort for every patient.
At Siam Dental Clinic, we provide comprehensive oral surgery services that require a high level of precision and specialist expertise. Our treatments are carefully planned and performed by experienced oral surgery specialists to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
1. Individuals with impacted or embedded teeth, such as wisdom teeth or teeth that erupt in an abnormal position, remain beneath the gum line, or exert pressure on adjacent teeth. These conditions may cause pain, swelling, or infection and often require surgical removal by a specialist.
2. Individuals who require complex tooth extractions, such as teeth with deep roots or fractured roots at the gum line or root tip fracture in bone , cannot be removed using conventional extraction methods and require surgical techniques to ensure safety and protect adjacent teeth.
3. Individuals with bony growths in the oral cavity, such as exostoses on the palate or the inner cheek, which may interfere with speech or denture placement. Surgical removal can resolve these issues safely.
4. Individuals with oral cysts or tumors. Even if painless or asymptomatic, any abnormal swelling or lump should be evaluated by a dentist to determine the need for surgical removal and proper diagnosis.
5. Individuals preparing for dental implants or dentures, where pre-surgical modification of bone or soft tissue may be necessary to ensure stable, safe, and long-lasting restorative outcomes. To ensure the best possible outcome, each case is meticulously planned through a collaborative approach between our Prosthodontists and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons.
The treatments consist of;:
5.1 Bone Contouring (Alveoloplasty/Torus Removal) is the treatment by reshaping irregular bone growth or 'tori' that creates a smooth, uniform foundation for your dentures. This ensures the denture base sits comfortably on the gums, distributing bite pressure evenly to prevent sore spots and irritation.
5.2 Soft Tissue & Muscle Attachment Revision (Vestibuloplasty) is a surgical adjustment of oral muscle attachments that increases the surface area for your denture to rest on. This procedure significantly improves the retention and stability of removable dentures, allowing for a more secure and confident fit.
6. Frenectomy or Frenotomy for Tongue Tie
For a Frenectomy, "the earlier, the better" is often the rule to ensure optimal development. The ideal age for the procedure depends on the specific symptoms and goals:
1. Infancy (Newborn to 6 Months)
This is the most highly recommended period if the tongue-tie interferes with breastfeeding.
2. Toddler Years (2 – 4 Years Old)
If not addressed during infancy, parents often notice the issue as the child begins to speak.
3. School Age (6 Years and Older)
Summary: What is the Best Age?
Important Note: Not every tongue-tie requires surgery. If the frenum does not obstruct tongue function, treatment may not be necessary. If you are unsure, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our Pediatric Dentist for a professional evaluation.
1.Reduces the risk of infection and chronic inflammation. Impacted teeth, embedded teeth, or oral cysts left untreated may lead to ongoing inflammation or spread of infection. Surgical removal by a specialist significantly lowers long-term risks.
2.Relieves pain, swelling, and pressure in the oral cavity. Procedures such as wisdom tooth removal or abnormal bone growth surgery help reduce jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing in daily life.
3.Prepares the mouth for dental implants or dentures.In some cases, gum reshaping, bone modification, or tooth extraction is necessary to ensure safe and stable future restorative treatment.
4.Precise results with faster recovery through specialized techniques. When performed by oral surgery specialists using advanced technology, oral surgery minimizes postoperative pain, swelling, and recovery time compared to general procedures.
5.Enhances long-term oral health confidence. Well-planned surgical treatment not only resolves current issues but also helps prevent future complications, such as adjacent tooth movement or jawbone loss.
6.Unlock clear speech and better confidence with a Frenectomy or Frenoplaty. Restoring full tongue mobility supports clear articulation and long-term social personality
After undergoing oral surgery such as wisdom tooth removal, impacted tooth surgery, or oral cyst/tumor surgery the dental team at Siam Dental Clinic will provide clear, case specific instructions to help ensure a smooth, safe recovery and to prevent long-term complications.
Post-operative care recommendations from Siam Dental Clinic:
1. Bite on the gauze continuously for at least 1-2 hours to help control bleeding. If slight bleeding persists, replace the gauze and continue biting gently.
2. Apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek during the first 72 hours to reduce swelling and inflammation. Apply intermittently for 15–20 minutes at a time.
3. Avoid vigorous rinsing or using a straw, as suction may dislodge the blood clot and cause re-bleeding. Rinse gently and drink directly from a cup instead.
4. Avoid brushing directly over the surgical site initially, but continue to maintain oral hygiene by brushing other areas as usual. Use mouthwash as prescribed by your dentist.
5. Consume soft foods and avoid very hot, hard, or sticky foods. Choose foods at room temperature, avoid excessive chewing, and drink plenty of water to promote proper wound healing.
6.Avoid chewing on the side where the tooth was extracted or surgery was performed. This prevents irritation to the wound and keeps food debris from entering the site, which could lead to swelling or infection.
7.In some cases, a Chlorhexidine antiseptic mouthwash may be prescribed to prevent infection. Please use it strictly as directed by your dentist, typically for
the first 3 to 7 days following the procedure, depending on the complexity of the case
Gently rinse without vigorous swishing to avoid disturbing the surgical site which may irritate the wound and prolong bleeding. Rinse only after meals and before bed time after ensuring that the bleeding stops.

The doctor gave good advice. Clean clinic overview The personnel are friendly. I would like to recommend many friends to use the services at Siam Dental Clinic. Thank you.
My 2 children have been going to the doctor here since their baby teeth began. They are now 10 years old and 7 years old. The doctor is very kind and cute, making sure the children are not afraid of dentistry. The officers were all lovely and kind.
The doctor's aunt is cute, kind, and gives very good advice. For my first time having dentistry, I wasn't afraid at all. The nurses are also cute. Explain to your younger sibling first so that he or she won't be afraid. The place is clean and spacious. There are toys to play with while waiting.
The doctors and staff are all very nice. They communicate with my daughter in a gentle way and understand children, so much so that my daughter likes to come to the dentist.
Thank you very much ^^
Have been coming here for ten years now. The doctor is very skilled. Wisdom tooth extraction is good, tartar scaling, etc. are also good. The staff are friendly and attentive. I've been to other places that are cheaper and closer to home. In conclusion, we have to come back here as usual because other places don't work as well.
The only clinic I go to. Excellent service. Off road parking! Come see for yourself!
Good location, clean, convenient parking. The doctor takes excellent care of our dental health and has trusted the whole family for more than 10 years.
The doctor has high expertise. Gives very good advice. I've had the doctor take care of me for many years.
