Key Components of Your Treatment Plan

Advanced Techniques for Cyst and Tumor Removal

At London Dental Specialists, we utilise cutting-edge techniques to ensure optimal outcomes:

• Minimally Invasive Surgery: When possible, we use small incisions to reduce scarring and speed up recovery.


• Laser Technology: In some cases, laser surgery may be recommended for precise removal with minimal bleeding.


• Enucleation: This technique involves carefully removing the entire cyst or tumor without rupturing its wall.


• Marsupialization: For larger cysts, this procedure may be used to gradually shrink the cyst before complete removal.

Comprehensive Care Approach

Our treatment plans go beyond just removal, encompassing:

• Preservation of Vital Structures: We prioritise protecting nerves, blood vessels, and healthy tissue during the procedure.


• Bone Grafting: If necessary, we'll include plans for bone regeneration to maintain jaw structure and function.

Cyst and Tumor Removal Treatment Procedures

At London Dental Specialists, our cyst and tumor removal procedures are carried out with precision and care. Our expert oral surgeons utilise advanced techniques to ensure the most effective treatment with minimal discomfort.

Types of Removal Procedures

• Enucleation: This common technique involves carefully removing the entire cyst or tumor without rupturing its wall.


• Marsupialization: For larger cysts, we may create a small window in the cyst wall to drain it gradually before complete removal.


• Excision: Some tumors require complete surgical removal, including a margin of healthy tissue.


• Laser Surgery: In suitable cases, we use laser technology for precise removal with reduced bleeding and faster healing.

The Removal Process

Our cyst and tumor removal procedures typically follow these steps:

1. Anaesthesia Administration: We ensure your comfort by administering local anaesthesia or sedation as discussed in your treatment plan.


2. Incision and Access: Our surgeon makes a carefully planned incision to access the cyst or tumor.


3. Removal: Using the most appropriate technique, the cyst or tumor is meticulously removed.


4. Preservation of Surrounding Structures: We take great care to protect nearby teeth, nerves, and healthy tissue.


5. Bone Grafting (if necessary): In cases where bone loss has occurred, we may perform a bone graft to maintain jaw structure.


6. Closure: The surgical site is closed with dissolvable sutures to promote proper healing.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Results

London Dental Specialists employs state-of-the-art technology to enhance the precision and success of our procedures:

• 3D Imaging: For complex cases, we use 3D scans to plan the most effective surgical approach.

Post Cyst and Tumor Removal Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing following cyst and tumor removal procedures at London Dental Specialists. Our comprehensive post-treatment care ensures you recover quickly and comfortably while minimising potential complications. This fourth step in our process is crucial for long-term success and maintaining your oral health.

Immediate Aftercare Instructions

• Pain Management: We provide appropriate pain relief medications and detailed instructions on their usage to ensure your comfort during recovery.


• Swelling Reduction: Apply cold compresses to the affected area for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off during the first 24-48 hours to minimise swelling.


• Bleeding Control: Some minor bleeding is normal. Gently bite on gauze pads as instructed and avoid excessive spitting or rinsing.


• Diet Recommendations: Stick to soft, cool foods for the first few days, gradually returning to your normal diet as comfort allows.

Wound Care and Oral Hygiene

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is vital for preventing infection and promoting healing:

• Gentle Cleaning: Carefully brush and floss around the surgical site as directed, avoiding direct contact with the wound initially.


• Salt Water Rinses: Begin gentle salt water rinses 24 hours after surgery to keep the area clean and promote healing.


• Suture Care: If you have dissolvable sutures, they typically disappear within 7-10 days. Non-dissolvable sutures will be removed at your follow-up appointment.


• Dressing Changes: For some procedures, we may place a protective dressing that needs to be maintained according to our specific instructions.

Follow-up Appointments

Your recovery journey includes scheduled check-ups to monitor healing:

• Initial Review: Usually scheduled 7-10 days after surgery to assess initial healing and remove any non-dissolvable sutures.


• Progress Evaluation: Additional appointments to monitor complete healing and ensure no signs of recurrence.


• Pathology Results: If tissue samples were sent for analysis, we'll discuss the results and any implications for your ongoing care.


• Long-term Monitoring: Depending on your specific case, we may recommend periodic examinations to ensure continued oral health.

Potential Complications and When to Contact Us

While complications are rare, it's important to know the warning signs:

• Excessive Pain or Swelling: Pain that worsens after 2-3 days rather than improving.


• Persistent Bleeding: Bleeding that continues despite applying pressure with gauze.


• Signs of Infection: Increased redness, warmth, swelling, or discharge from the surgical site.


• Fever: A temperature above 38°C may indicate infection requiring immediate attention.

Our team remains available to address any concerns throughout your healing process, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care from diagnosis through to full recovery.
