Pain-free, safe oral surgery with fast healing
A problematic wisdom tooth, a stubborn root tip infection or a tooth that has to come out? At the PureDental oral surgery department we use modern diagnostics, modern anesthesia and empathetic specialists so that the procedure is gentle and healing is fast.
Oral surgery is the surgical specialty of dentistry that deals with the surgical treatment of the teeth, the oral cavity and the jawbones. It includes complicated tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, root tip removal (apicoectomy), the treatment of cysts, and preparation for dental implants (e.g. bone grafting, sinus lift).
Training as a dentoalveolar surgery specialist means 3 years of specialist training after the dental degree.
Many people fear oral surgery, yet with the right specialist background, modern technology and an attentive approach, treatment today can be a far calmer and more predictable experience.
Usually your treating dentist refers you to an oral surgeon, but there are a few situations where it is worth asking for a specialist consultation straight away.
These are the most common reasons:When is it urgent? If swelling from an infection spreads towards the neck or the eye socket, if you have trouble swallowing or opening your mouth, or if you have a fever – this cannot wait for the next free appointment. Call us directly; during opening hours we do our best to give you an appointment out of turn. → Emergency dentistry
An oral surgery procedure takes place in 5 clearly separated steps, from the consultation to the follow-up check – transparently and within a predictable timeframe.
Consultation, 3D CBCT and treatment plan
At the first visit we discuss your complaint, examine your mouth and take a 3D CBCT scan. We can see exactly the condition of the roots, the nerve canal, the sinus and the bone, so the procedure can be planned in advance.
The specialist explains in writing the steps of the procedure, its expected duration, its cost and the course of healing. We are happy to go through your questions.
From the day of surgery to the check-up
We use local anesthesia or – on request – conscious sedation or general anesthesia. The surgery takes place under a sterile protocol, with microscopic or magnified vision. A simple tooth extraction takes 20–30 minutes, a deeply lying wisdom tooth 45–60 minutes, complex oral surgery procedures 60–90 minutes.
You receive written post-operative instructions: cooling, eating, brushing, medication. We also give you an on-call phone number for the healing period. In addition, a recovery pack helps our patients get back on their feet as soon as possible (soft-bristle toothbrush, ice pack, mouthwash, etc.). Where needed we also provide the medication, so that after oral surgery you do not have to go to the pharmacy as well.
We check the wound healing and, if needed, remove the stitches (the clinic provides this free of charge). We also answer any further questions.
We can always tell you the exact duration based on the 3D CBCT planning and the type of procedure.
With modern technology, experienced specialists and personalized aftercare we make sure the surgery is safe, fast and successful in the long term.
Thanks to our 3D CBCT-based planning we see exactly where the roots and nerves are, so treatment can be planned in advance and is safe.
With modern anesthesia our treatments are completely pain-free and recovery is quick.
You know every step, cost and duration in advance, so you can be confident about the process.
With a written to-do list and a phone contact we accompany you through the whole healing process.
Oral surgery procedures are performed by Dr. Nóra Boka, dentoalveolar surgeon and implantologist. She has practised for 15 years and has performed several thousand oral surgery procedures. Her specialties are wisdom tooth removal, complicated tooth extraction, root tip resection and preparation for dental implants (bone grafting, sinus lift).
At our clinic we do everything to preserve teeth, but if a tooth can no longer be saved – for example after a deep fracture, severe decay or an unsuccessful root canal treatment – extraction is a quick and pain-free procedure. If needed it can also be used for children and milk teeth.

Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common dental procedures. Wisdom teeth often cause pain, crowding, infection or cysts. Our clinic's professional oral surgeons remove wisdom teeth completely pain-free, with maximum empathy and attention, modern diagnostics and a gentle technique.
→ More about the procedureYou may need more than a tooth extraction or wisdom tooth removal. Our oral surgeons also help with other problems:
The timeline below helps you see what counts as a normal healing process and when it is worth calling us.
Slight bloody oozing, facial swelling and numbness are normal. External cooling is necessary (ice pack, 20 minutes cold / 20 minutes break). Avoid rinsing, spitting and drinking through a straw – this can dislodge the blood clot, which may lead to further bleeding and infection. Avoid dairy and foods with small seeds.
Swelling is usually strongest on the second or third day, then goes down. You can start gentle rinsing with lukewarm salt water. Avoid coffee, alcohol, dairy, hot and spicy foods, and smoking (nicotine slows healing and increases the risk of dry socket).
Swelling and discomfort ease considerably. Soft, lukewarm foods can gradually be reintroduced. Brush gently around the surgical area. Physical exertion (sport, sauna) should still be avoided.
Check-up and free suture removal, if needed – in most cases we use absorbable sutures at our clinic. The dentist or oral surgery specialist checks the wound healing.
Soft tissue healing is completed. The deeper layer of bone healing takes 4–6 months, but this no longer affects everyday life.
Call us if any of these occur: severe throbbing pain beyond day 3, fever, foul-smelling discharge, persistent bleeding.
It is carried out with the help of an anesthetist, using intravenous sedative medication – as the name says, you stay awake: you can react and cooperate, but you are calm and relaxed, and usually barely remember the procedure. Local anesthesia is applied around the teeth.
Full anesthesia led by an anesthesiologist team – you sleep and feel nothing of the procedure. Only when justified.
The exact price always depends on the type and complexity of the procedure. After the 3D CBCT-based consultation we give you a written quote – with no hidden items.

You do not need to fear pain. We use modern anesthesia, a sterile protocol and 3D planning, so the procedure is comfortable and safe.
No. Thanks to modern anesthesia the treatment is completely pain-free; at most you may feel pressure.
After the procedure we give you detailed post-operative instructions so that healing is quick and trouble-free. Avoid smoking, alcohol, dairy, and hot food and drinks for 3–4 days. Cooling from the outside is recommended in the first 24 hours.
It is definitely recommended in case of pain, infection, crowding, suspected cyst, or a partially erupted or misaligned tooth.
If root canal treatment is not enough, we remove the infected root tip surgically.
When upper molars are removed, the sinus may rarely be opened. We close it immediately, preventing infection and sinusitis.
When the procedure goes beyond general dentistry, e.g. a root left in the bone, an impacted (not erupted) wisdom tooth, root tip removal (apicoectomy), removal of a cyst, fibroma or mucosal lesion, sinus lift, bone grafting before an implant. The oral surgeon is a specialist dentoalveolar surgeon who completed 3 years of additional specialist training after the dental degree.
A simple tooth extraction takes 20–30 minutes, a surgical extraction or one-sided wisdom tooth removal 30–45 minutes. A deeply lying, impacted wisdom tooth takes 45–60 minutes. A complex apicoectomy or sinus lift takes 60–90 minutes. We can tell you the exact time after the 3D CBCT planning.
