Dedicated surgical expertise
Maxillofacial surgery is the medical and surgical specialty dealing with diseases of the teeth, jaws, salivary glands and soft tissues of the mouth. At COBE Dental this area is led by Dr. Marco Conti, who holds degrees in Medicine and Surgery and in Dentistry, a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and surgical training gained in the Maxillofacial Surgery departments of the Careggi and Meyer University Hospitals in Florence.
Complex extractions
Impacted wisdom teeth, fractured roots or teeth in an abnormal position sometimes require a more elaborate surgical approach than a simple extraction. We plan every procedure with the help of X-rays and, where needed, tomography, to reduce risks and recovery time.
Cysts and small bone lesions
Cysts and other lesions of the jaws, often discovered by chance on a routine X-ray, are assessed and, when necessary, surgically removed, preserving neighbouring teeth and structures as much as possible.
Salivary glands and soft tissues
Salivary stones, small cysts such as a ranula, or lesions of the soft tissues of the mouth (tongue, floor of the mouth, cheeks) can be treated directly at the practice with targeted procedures, often under local anaesthesia.
When hospital care is needed
For situations that require an operation in a surgical theatre, we guide you along the most suitable path, in coordination with our reference hospitals.
