Oral Surgery and Implantology Unit

Advanced diagnosis and treatment in oral surgery and dental implants

The Oral Surgery and Implantology Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital is headed by Dr José Luis Cebrián Carretero, a surgeon specialising in oral surgical conditions and implantology of varying levels of complexity.

This is a highly specialised unit focused on the diagnosis and treatment of common conditions affecting the oral cavity which, despite their apparent simplicity, require precise clinical judgement, rigorous planning and careful technical execution to preserve function and aesthetics.

The unit treats patients with oral surgical conditions that cannot be resolved through conventional conservative treatments, as well as those requiring implant-based rehabilitation following tooth loss.

A specialist assessment is particularly recommended in cases of complex impacted teeth, cystic or mucosal lesions requiring histological examination, insufficient bone for implant placement, or clinical histories that necessitate individualised planning.

Oral conditions requiring surgical treatment

The unit routinely deals with a range of conditions that form part of advanced oral surgical practice. Each case is analysed individually, assessing the indication, the optimal timing for intervention and the available treatment options.

Among the most common clinical conditions are:

• Impacted teeth, such as third molars (wisdom teeth) or impacted canines.

• Maxillary cysts and odontogenic lesions.

• Lesions of the oral mucosa requiring excision or biopsy.

• Pre-prosthetic surgery and minor procedures within the oral cavity.

• Dental implant rehabilitation of varying degrees of complexity.

The need for surgery is determined following a comprehensive clinical and radiological assessment, always taking into account the functional benefit, long-term stability and the impact on the patient’s daily life.

Diagnostic assessment and personalised digital planning

Decision-making is based on a structured specialist consultation, which includes a detailed clinical examination and imaging tests tailored to each individual case, such as digital radiography or three-dimensional scans where necessary to plan the procedure with precision.

In the field of implantology, digital planning and computer-guided surgery enable the design of highly personalised treatments, optimising implant positioning, osseointegration and the predictability of the outcome. Where required, bone regeneration techniques or the use of biomaterials are considered to ensure suitable conditions prior to final placement.

The treatment plan is drawn up following a comprehensive analysis that takes into account the patient’s anatomy, masticatory function, reasonable expectations and general medical condition.

A surgical approach combining clinical judgement and advanced technology

The unit carries out procedures ranging from conventional oral surgery to advanced implant techniques, including implant placement using immediate loading protocols in selected cases, bone grafts and tissue regeneration procedures.

Each technique is indicated only where there is a clear clinical benefit and an adequate anatomical basis, thereby avoiding unnecessary or disproportionate interventions.

The aim is to resolve the condition with the utmost precision, minimising discomfort and facilitating a recovery that is compatible with normal academic or work commitments.

Team specialising in oral surgery and implantology

The team comprises oral surgeons and dentists who work in a coordinated manner, enabling a comprehensive view of each case and structured continuity of care. The experience gained in oral surgical pathology and rehabilitation facilitates a safe approach to situations requiring meticulous planning.

The care model at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital is based on subspecialisation, rigorous referral criteria and multidisciplinary coordination where the situation requires it. We take the time necessary to explain the diagnosis, treatment options and associated risks, thereby facilitating informed and calm decision-making.

The combination of sound clinical judgement, advanced planning technology and support throughout every stage of the process enables us to provide safe, precise care that meets the standards of a highly specialised hospital.
