Oral surgery – referral required

The department requires both a referral and an appointment.

According to territorial care obligations, the service is available to patients who reside in District 6 with a permanent or registered temporary address, or are registered with a general practitioner in District 6.

Patients can be referred by a dentist or, if necessary, by a general practitioner or specialist.

Appointments can be made in person or by telephone during consultation hours.

New patients must register at the patient registration desk upon arrival. Returning patients with an appointment may check in at the registration desk or via the self-service kiosk (within 30 minutes before their appointment) to receive a queue number. Patients are not seen in order of arrival but based on their appointment and queue number.

Appointments can be made in person or by phone:+36 1 321 2200, extension 5163.

Oral surgery, also known as dentoalveolar surgery, involves treatments for dental and jaw-related conditions under local anaesthesia, including:

• removal of teeth and tooth roots;
• surgical methods of retaining teeth;
• surgical treatment of teeth left behind by eruption;
• management of inflammatory jaw conditions, chronic root tip inflammation, and cysts;
• minor soft tissue surgeries, and removal of bone overgrowths.

Surgical tooth extraction is necessary if the tooth cannot be removed by conventional methods. These include a tooth that has broken under the gumline, when decay has severely damaged the crown and neck, or wisdom teeth that have been left behind in an eruption.

Jaw and gum corrective surgery may be necessary before creating dental prosthetics.

Root apex resection is performed to remove the root tip surgically to preserve the tooth.

If an oral surgery procedure extends beyond dental issues to involve the sinuses, face, or jaw, these cases fall under the scope of maxillofacial surgery. Such treatments are provided at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic: 1085 Budapest, 52 Mária utca.

Note that patients without a valid TAJ card or insurance must pay in cash on-site before receiving treatment.
