What is Jaw Cyst Removal?
Jaw cyst removal involves the surgical extraction of cysts that develop within the jawbone or surrounding soft tissues. These cysts can arise due to various reasons, including infections, genetic conditions, or developmental issues. Left untreated, they can lead to pain, swelling, and even the weakening of the jawbone. Our clinic employs the latest in diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques to provide effective treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

Jaw cyst removal is generally considered a minor surgical procedure, often performed under local anaesthesia. The complexity depends on your cyst’s size and location. Our surgeons utilise minimally invasive techniques to help you have a swift recovery and minimal discomfort.
Recovery time varies based on the procedure’s complexity and individual healing rates. Generally, patients can resume normal activities within a few days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and are available for any follow up concerns or questions you may have about your surgery.
Surgical Removal
The procedure typically requires the careful excision of the cyst, followed by measures to preserve or restore the jawbone’s integrity. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce recovery time and discomfort.
Bone Grafting (if needed)
In cases where the cyst has caused significant bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary to rebuild the jawbone. Our team will discuss all available options with you, including the use of synthetic or natural grafting materials.
