Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery is an advanced branch of dentistry that encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of structural and functional problems in the mouth, teeth, and jaw area. Procedures in this field usually involve cases that require special expertise and surgical knowledge, such as impacted teeth, jaw cysts, sinus floor problems, and temporomandibular joint disorders. As Kavi Dental Clinic, we offer safe solutions for such cases with modern technologies and our experienced surgeons. Jaw surgery interventions are performed both to protect oral health and to prevent more serious problems that may arise in the future. Thanks to our advanced imaging systems and digital planning technologies, each case is analyzed in detail, and the most appropriate treatment method specific to the patient is determined. All procedures are carried out with a focus on patient comfort and safety.

Wisdom Teeth and Impacted Tooth Surgery
Wisdom teeth often remain impacted or cause problems in a partially erupted position when there is not enough space in the jaw structure. Impacted teeth can lead to gum infections, jaw pain, decay in adjacent teeth due to pressure, or crowding in the teeth. For this reason, they often need to be surgically extracted.
Impacted tooth operations are performed under local anesthesia and in a sterile surgical environment. At Kavi Dental Clinic, this procedure is carried out by our specialist oral surgeon. Although the post-operative healing process varies from person to person, it generally progresses quickly and under control. During regular check-ups, the positions of wisdom teeth are evaluated with panoramic X-rays to determine whether intervention is necessary.
Addressing impacted tooth issues at an early stage is of great importance to prevent painful and infected conditions that may arise later.
Jaw Cysts
Jaw cysts are fluid-filled pathological structures that develop within the jawbone. They usually grow slowly and may not show symptoms for a long time. However, as they grow, they can weaken the jawbone, cause displacement of teeth, or put pressure on nerve tissues and lead to pain.
These cysts are often discovered incidentally during routine radiographic examinations. For a definitive diagnosis, imaging and biopsy may be required. Treatment includes surgical removal of the cyst depending on its type and size, followed by proper healing of the area. Advanced surgical techniques such as bone grafting may also be applied when necessary.
At Kavi Dental Clinic, jaw cysts are carefully monitored and treated by our specialist surgeon. Timely removal of cysts is crucial for preserving the jaw structure and solving the problem before more serious complications arise. Early diagnosis and correct surgical planning directly affect the success of the treatment.
Dental-Origin Sinus Diseases
Dental-origin sinus diseases involve problems that occur due to the proximity of the roots of molars and premolars in the upper jaw to the maxillary sinus cavities. The root tips of infected or decayed teeth may reach the sinus cavity and cause infection to develop there. This condition is generally referred to as “odontogenic sinusitis,” and unlike classical sinusitis, its origin is dental.
Such conditions may manifest with symptoms like prolonged facial pain, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, and unilateral headaches. Since the origin is dental, nasal treatment alone is often not sufficient; intervention targeting the tooth, which is the source of the issue, is necessary. At Kavi Dental Clinic, such conditions are thoroughly evaluated with advanced imaging methods like panoramic X-rays and, when necessary, tomography.
Treatment may include extraction of the infected tooth, root canal therapy, or apical resection. In necessary cases, a multidisciplinary treatment process is conducted in cooperation with an ENT specialist. These problems, which directly affect sinus health, can lead to both dental and systemic complications if not treated in a timely and accurate manner. Therefore, they must be evaluated without delay.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ)
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a movable structure where the lower jaw connects to the skull. Functional disorders in this joint may manifest with complaints such as jaw pain, headaches, difficulty in chewing, jaw locking, and joint noises. These problems are usually triggered by stress, teeth grinding, poor bite habits, or trauma.
Treatment of TMJ disorders begins with a detailed diagnosis. The condition of the joint is analyzed through clinical examination, assessment of jaw movement range, and if necessary, advanced imaging techniques such as MRI. Treatment may include the use of night guards, exercises, medication, and in some cases, intra-articular injections.
As Kavi Dental Clinic, we approach TMJ disorders with both functional and multidisciplinary methods, aiming to provide our patients with a painless and healthy life. When necessary, we support the process with additional referrals such as physical therapy and psychological support. TMJ problems that are treated before becoming chronic can heal more quickly and permanently.
