Oral & Dental Surgery

    Oral Surgery in Jeddah

    Oral surgery is what sets a surgical dentist apart, covering cases that are hard to treat conventionally such as impacted wisdom teeth, complex extractions, and gum surgery.

    With 26 years of experience, Dr. Ghias Attar handles difficult cases in Jeddah calmly and precisely, with effective anaesthesia and clear post-operative instructions for a comfortable recovery.

    Impacted wisdom tooth removal

    An impacted wisdom tooth has not fully erupted and stays trapped in bone or gum, sometimes causing pain, inflammation, and pressure on neighbouring teeth.

    Surgical removal is done under local anaesthetic using a technique that preserves the surrounding tissue as much as possible.

    Complex surgical extractions

    Some broken, buried, or curved-root teeth need surgical experience to remove safely.

    Imaging before the procedure reduces surprises and makes the extraction safer.

    Gum surgery and gum depigmentation

    This includes treating a gummy smile, lightening dark gums caused by smoking or other factors, and reshaping the gum line.

    The goal is gum health first, then harmony with the shape of the teeth.

    Treating a dental abscess

    An abscess is a painful collection of pus that needs prompt drainage, treatment of its source, and prevention of spreading infection.

    Delaying treatment is not advised — pain does not always mean the situation is simple.

    Post-operative instructions

    Following the dentist’s instructions after surgery — from cold compresses to medication and a soft diet — speeds healing and reduces complications.

    Following up for persistent bleeding, severe swelling, or increasing pain matters, and we are reachable on WhatsApp.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
    The extraction is done under local anaesthetic, so you feel no pain during it. Afterwards there may be mild swelling and discomfort that settles within days with instructions and pain relief.
    How long is recovery after a surgical extraction?
    Most cases improve within days, and the gum heals gradually over weeks. The duration depends on how difficult the case is.
    What is dry socket and how do I avoid it?
    Dry socket is a complication that can occur when the blood clot at the extraction site breaks down. To avoid it, follow post-op instructions and avoid smoking and strong suction.
    When should a wisdom tooth be removed?
    When it causes repeated pain, inflammation, decay, or pressure on neighbouring teeth. Preventive removal is sometimes advised after imaging assessment.
    Is sedation available for anxious patients?
    We provide effective local anaesthesia and a reassuring environment. Suitable options for your case and anxiety level are discussed at the consultation.
    Is swelling after surgery normal?
    Yes, mild to moderate swelling is expected, peaking in the first two days then subsiding. Severe or increasing swelling warrants a review.
