Oral Surgery
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed in or around your mouth and jaw, usually by a dental surgeon who’s trained to perform certain kinds of oral surgeries.There are many types of oral surgery, including surgical procedures such as a tooth removal (extraction) or a dental implant. The common oral surgeries we offer at Dr Sadiq Sharaf Dental Center are extractions and dental implants but is not just limited to those. Our surgeries are usually done under local anesthesia (depends on complexity & patients) and with the advanced technology available.
Dental Implants
The Best Dental Center in Bahrain!
Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones. Dental implant surgery can offer a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework that doesn’t fit well and can offer an option when a lack of natural teeth roots don’t allow building denture or bridgework tooth replacements.
How dental implant surgery is performed depends on the type of implant and the condition of your jawbone. Dental implant surgery may involve several procedures. The major benefit of implants is solid support for your new teeth — a process that requires the bone to heal tightly around the implant. Because this bone healing requires time, the process can take many months.

Tooth Extraction / Tooth Removal
The Best Dental Center in Bahrain!
Nowadays many teens and some adults get their wisdom teeth removed, there are also many other reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary in adulthood. Excessive tooth decay, tooth infection, and tooth crowding can all require a tooth extraction. Those who get braces may need one or two teeth removed to provide room for their other teeth as they shift into place.
Tooth extraction is always performed by a dental surgeon or oral surgeon and is a relatively quick outpatient procedure with either local, general, intravenous anesthesia, or a combination. Removing visible teeth is a simple extraction. Teeth that are broken, below the surface, or impacted require a more involved surgical procedure.
How to prepare for a tooth extraction?
Before scheduling the procedure, your dentist will take an X-ray of your tooth. Be sure to tell your dentist about any medications you take, as well as vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs. Also, tell your dentist about any of the following conditions:
- a congenital heart defect
- diabetes
- liver disease
- thyroid disease
- renal disease
- hypertension
- an artificial joint
- damaged heart valves
- adrenal disease
- an impaired immune system
- a history of bacterial endocarditis
Your dentist may want to make sure all conditions are stable or treated before you undergo the tooth extraction
What is the procedure for a tooth extraction?
Your tooth extraction will either be simple or surgical, depending on whether your tooth is visible or impacted.
Simple extraction
You will receive a local anesthetic, which numbs the area around your tooth so you’ll feel only pressure, not pain, during the procedure. The dentist then uses an instrument called an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove it.
Surgical extraction
You will likely receive both local anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia, the latter of which makes you calm and relaxed. You may also receive general anesthesia, depending on any medical conditions. With general anesthesia, you will remain unconscious during the procedure. The dental surgeon or oral surgeon will cut into your gum with a small incision. They may need to remove bone around your tooth or cut your tooth before it can be extracted
