“Planning, experience and empathy: the three pillars of good oral surgery.”
Dr. Rafael Dias
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is a medical speciality that treats structural problems of the oral cavity with precision, safety and comfort.
It involves procedures such as wisdom tooth extractions, removal of cysts or lesions, bone corrections, small biopsies and pre-prosthetic surgeries.
Oral Surgery at GSC Dental Clinic
Despite the name, most interventions are minimally invasive and performed in the clinic, with local anaesthesia and quick recovery.
At Gambelas Smile Clinic, oral surgery is planned with rigour, supported by high-definition imaging exams (CBCT and digital radiology).
Our team uses technologies such as the surgical microscope and conscious sedation whenever necessary, to ensure tranquillity and comfort.
Each patient is followed closely before, during and after the procedure.
With a medical team available to clarify doubts and a clear post-operative plan, we ensure a calm experience and excellent clinical results.
