Surgery in calm
hands.
Oral surgery does not have to be a frightening experience. At Dr. Lena Zembel's clinic, every surgical procedure is performed with precise planning, advanced technology, and an approach that puts your comfort at the center.
We know. The word "surgery" is scary.
Most people who come to us before a surgical procedure feel anxious. That is completely natural. Maybe you have heard stories about difficult extractions, or your past experience was not good.
We want you to know: oral surgery today is not what it used to be.
Technology has advanced, techniques have improved, and the approach has changed. Today, procedures once considered complex can be done quickly, precisely, and with minimal discomfort. Good surgery starts with a calm patient.
When do you need oral surgery?
Problematic wisdom teeth
When they are impacted, growing crooked, or pressing on other teeth.
Impacted teeth
Canines or other teeth that got "stuck" in the bone and need help to erupt.
Cysts and inflammation
Lesions in the jawbone that require cleaning to prevent ongoing damage.
Preparation for restoration
Bone building or a sinus lift to enable a successful dental implant.
What we perform
A range of surgical solutions under one roof
Wisdom teeth extractions
Removing wisdom teeth when they are impacted, causing pain or endangering neighboring teeth.
- Time: 20-45 minutes per tooth
- Suitable for: impacted or partially erupted teeth
- Recovery: 2-3 days of swelling
Complex extractions
Removing broken or problematic teeth with a gentle surgical approach to prevent bone damage.
- Approach: sectioning the tooth for easy removal
- Advantage: less trauma to bone and gums
- Time: 30-60 minutes
Tooth exposure
Helping teeth (such as canines) that did not erupt, in cooperation with orthodontics.
- Goal: bringing the tooth into place in the arch
- Process: exposure and bonding an orthodontic attachment
- Cooperation: with your orthodontist
Apicoectomy (root-end surgery)
Treating an infection at the root tip when a regular root canal is not enough.
- Method: using a microscope for maximum precision
- Goal: saving the tooth from extraction
- Success rate: 85-95%
Cyst removal
Diagnosing and removing lesions, cysts or benign growths from the jawbone.
- Includes: sending to biopsy (pathology)
- Importance: preventing spread and bone damage
- Safety: CT-based planning
Frenectomy
Releasing a lip or tongue frenum that interferes with speech, swallowing or aesthetics.
- Time: 15 minutes
- Method: laser or classic surgery
- Recovery: very fast
Precision that changes everything
Good surgery starts with good vision. Our technology lets us know exactly what is beneath the surface - before we make a single incision.
CBCT - 3D imaging
We see the position of nerves, sinuses and the shape of the roots in 3D.
The result: fewer surprises, a shorter and safer surgery.
Piezosurgery
An ultrasonic device that cuts bone with amazing precision, but does not harm soft tissue (like gums and nerves).
The result: less swelling and faster recovery.
Surgical microscope
25x magnification lets us perform minimally invasive surgery with very small incisions.
The result: maximum preservation of healthy tissue.
Anesthesia and sedation options
We do not believe in a "just suffer through it" approach. We choose what suits you to ensure a calm procedure.
Local anesthesia
An injection that numbs only the area. You are fully awake but feel no pain.
Sedation
Using laughing gas or sedatives. You are awake but very relaxed and drowsy.
General anesthesia
For especially complex cases or extreme anxiety, performed by a specialist anesthesiologist.
What happens after? (recovery)
Proper recovery is part of the success. Here is what to expect:
Rest, cooling the area with ice, soft and cold foods. There may be slight bleeding.
Peak swelling. Start salt-water rinses. Pain relievers as needed.
The swelling goes down and you feel much better. Gradually return to regular eating.
Removing stitches (if any). The tissues heal and the bone keeps building inside.
We are here 24/7
After surgery, we are available for any question or concern at the clinic phone: 03-566-6915. If something feels off (fever, bleeding that does not stop) - call us.
Possible complications: let us talk openly
Every surgical procedure carries risks. We prefer that you know in advance, even though they are rare in skilled hands.
Dry Socket
Pain that appears a few days after an extraction due to the blood clot breaking down. Frequency: 2-5%. Treatment: a local dressing at the clinic that immediately relieves the pain.
Nerve injury (rare)
A temporary numb sensation in the lip or tongue due to proximity to a nerve. Prevention: a 3D CT scan is mandatory in any at-risk case, to know exactly where the nerve runs.
Infection
Swelling and pain that do not pass. Prevention and treatment: strict sterility and the use of antibiotics as needed.
Damage to adjacent teeth
Pressure on neighboring teeth during an extraction. Prevention: using a gentle technique of sectioning the tooth instead of applying force.
Frequently asked questions
Why have surgery with us?
Oral surgery requires a combination of gentle hands, sharp vision and extensive experience. Dr. Lena Zembel brings the strict standards she learned in Germany to every treatment.
The complex cases
We treat cases other dentists are wary of - teeth close to a nerve, curved roots, and sensitive anatomical structures.
Planning before performing
We do not "try". Every extraction is planned in advance on a CT to minimize surprises.
