Oral Surgery
Oral surgery and implantology are our specialties and have been nurtured and improved upon for two generations, since 1979. Mr. Sc. Danko Gikic, DMD, a renowned oral surgeon in Zagreb, passed his knowledge and experience to his son, Dr. Matija Gikic, who is also a specialist in oral surgery.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that encompasses a wide range of surgical procedures, including simple and complicated tooth extractions, alveotomy (wisdom tooth extraction), apicoectomy (root-end resection), sinus lifting (raising the floor of the maxillary sinus), bone augmentation (replacement of missing bone), corticotomy (orthodontic tooth extraction), cystectomy (removal of cysts or chronic inflammation in the bone) and more.
How are oral surgical procedures performed?
We recommend that oral surgical procedures be performed by a specialist in oral surgery. At our polyclinic, Dr. Matija Gikic carries out these procedures. All treatments are painless as they are performed under anaesthesia. Relax, you are in the safe hands of experts!
We utilize advanced technology that enables us to perform faster and more precise procedures, resulting in shorter recovery time, less trauma, and less pain for the patient:
We perform all types of oral surgery procedures, from the simplest (tooth extractions) to the most complex (Zygomatic implant placement) – from baby teeth to Zygoma.
We complement our procedures with regenerative surgery using Bio-PRF, an autologous graft that accelerates healing and eliminates potential complications.
