In the Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, patients are diagnosed through clinical and radiological examinations. Depending on the diagnosis, drugs and surgical procedures are used for treatment. In the case of diseases related to oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery, a three-dimensional bone model of the patient is made during diagnosis using X-ray and tomography. This process, carried out using high-tech equipment specifically designed for the mouth, teeth and jaws, leaves no room for error or mistakes.
Diagnoses are made with the help of technological equipment and plans are discussed with the relevant departments within the hospital, initiating a disciplined and meticulous study. These surgical procedures are carried out under local or general anaesthetic. Local anaesthesia only numbs the area, while general anaesthesia induces unconsciousness. If major surgery is to be performed on the mouth, teeth or jaws, the patient may be admitted to hospital for observation. Surgery for oral, dental and maxillofacial conditions is performed with great care and attention.
Before the operation, the patient is asked about certain illnesses, concerns, etc., and the operation on the mouth, teeth or jaw is started accordingly. Because we work with experts in their field, the patient will feel secure at every moment from the moment of admission. All information is shared with the patient at the beginning, middle and end of the procedure.
