Surgical Treatment
of Jaw Cysts
With over 15 years of surgical experience, we treat jaw cysts safely and with a conservative approach.
What is a Jaw Cyst?
A jaw cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the jawbone or surrounding soft tissues. They usually grow slowly and often don't cause symptoms initially. It's common for them to be discovered incidentally during routine dental examinations or X-rays.
With over 15 years of experience and hundreds of successful cyst operations, we treat this condition safely and effectively. With early detection and proper intervention, cysts are successfully treated and your jaw health is preserved.
Cysts are generally benign but can continue to grow if left untreated. Therefore, it's important to evaluate detected cysts and treat them when necessary.
What Are the Symptoms of a Cyst?
Swelling in the jaw, numbness in teeth, loosening, or sensitivity in the root area can be symptoms of a cyst. However, most cysts show no symptoms and are detected via routine X-rays.
How Does the Operation Process Work?
The size and location of the cyst are examined via X-ray. The most conservative surgical method is determined for you.
The cyst is cleaned in a 30-60 minute procedure under local anesthesia. The removed cyst is sent for pathological examination.
Detailed care instructions are provided. Soft tissue heals in 1-2 weeks. The cyst cavity fills with bone over time.
A definitive diagnosis is made based on the pathology result, and a regular follow-up process is planned.

Is This Treatment Right for Me?
We've compiled the topics our patients are most curious about:
Small, stable cysts can be monitored, but treatment is recommended for those risking damage to surrounding tissues.
Yes. The procedure is entirely painless under local anesthesia. Patients say it was easier than expected.
The recurrence risk for most completely removed cysts is low. We create regular follow-up programs for specific types.
Not always. We aim to protect the tooth using methods like apical resection to clean only the cyst.
The gap is filled with bone by the body over time; for larger cases, we support it with bone grafting.
Age is not a barrier. If your general health is good, it can be safely performed at any age.
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Although cysts are benign, if left untreated they can grow and weaken the jawbone, damage neighboring tooth roots, or press on nerve structures. Early intervention protects jaw integrity.
