Oral surgery in Berlin Mitte – gentle care in experienced hands
A tooth that cannot be saved, an impacted wisdom tooth or persistent inflammation at the root tip – sometimes a minor surgical procedure is the right course of action. Modern oral surgery is minimally invasive, carefully planned and often far gentler than patients expect. At F80 in Berlin Mitte, an experienced team supports you from your first consultation through your final follow-up.
When oral surgery may be needed
Oral surgery covers surgical procedures within the mouth. The aim is to remove inflammation, protect healthy tissue and create a sound basis for long-term dental health. Common reasons include severely damaged or loose teeth, impacted teeth, chronic inflammation at the root tip and procedures that prepare the mouth for dental restorations.
We assess carefully in advance whether surgery is truly necessary. At F80, preserving your natural tooth comes first. We recommend surgery only when a root canal treatment or other tooth-preserving measures are unlikely to succeed.
Common procedures at F80
- Tooth removal (extraction): when a tooth is severely damaged, very loose or can no longer be preserved.
- Surgical wisdom tooth removal: for impacted wisdom teeth or teeth that have not erupted properly.
- Apicoectomy: removal of inflamed tissue at the root tip to help preserve the tooth.
- Exposure of impacted teeth: for example, as part of orthodontic treatment.
- Periodontal and soft-tissue surgery: when gum pockets or a lip or tongue tie require treatment.
- Preparatory surgery for dental restorations: to provide a secure foundation for dentures, bridges or implants.
Why you should not ignore symptoms
Chronic inflammation in the jaw rarely disappears on its own. Without treatment, it can affect neighboring teeth and the jawbone and may have wider effects on the body. The earlier a problem is recognized, the smaller and gentler the required procedure is likely to be. Do not wait for mild discomfort to become severe swelling: an early examination provides clarity and may help you avoid a more extensive procedure.
What to expect from oral surgery at F80
Surgical procedures are routine for us, but they may still make you feel nervous. We take time to explain every step and ensure you always know what is happening. This is how treatment usually proceeds:
1. Consultation and precise diagnostics
We begin with a detailed conversation and thorough examination. Digital X-rays help us determine the position of teeth, roots and nerves and plan the procedure in detail. You receive a clear explanation of the process, duration and costs in advance – with no surprises.
2. The procedure – precise and minimally invasive
The procedure is performed under effective local anesthesia. We use a minimally invasive approach with small access points, tissue-friendly instruments and careful surgical techniques to support smooth healing. Most procedures take between 20 and 60 minutes.
3. Anxious about surgery? Sedation and general anesthesia
You do not have to simply “endure” treatment. If you are very anxious or have had difficult past experiences, we can perform the procedure under sedation (twilight sleep) or general anesthesia on request. As a practice with a particular focus on anxious patients, we work with you to find an approach that feels right.
4. Aftercare – we remain by your side
After the procedure, you receive clear instructions and, if needed, a pain-management plan tailored to you. Follow-up appointments are flexible and, thanks to our 7-day opening hours, also available on weekends. If you have questions or symptoms, you can reach us quickly and easily, including via WhatsApp.
Tips for smooth healing
The right aftercare actively supports wound healing and helps prevent complications:
Immediately after the procedure
- Cool the area: Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth from the outside to help reduce swelling.
- Take it easy: Avoid physical exertion, exercise and bending over on the day of surgery.
- Wait for the anesthesia to wear off: Do not eat until all numbness has completely subsided.
Support wound healing
- Choose soft foods: Soups, purées or yogurt for the first few days – avoid anything hot, spicy or crumbly.
- Avoid nicotine, alcohol and caffeine: These substances can affect circulation and delay healing.
- Maintain gentle oral hygiene: Avoid the wound while brushing the rest of your mouth normally; do not rinse forcefully.
Avoid complications
- Take warning signs seriously: Contact us immediately about severe pain after day 3, renewed bleeding or fever.
- Attend follow-up appointments: This helps us ensure the wound is healing without irritation.
- Reach us 7 days a week: If you are unsure, it is better to call once more – we are also here on weekends.

FAQ: Common questions about oral surgery
Will the procedure hurt?
With effective local anesthesia, you should not feel pain during the procedure, although you may notice pressure and vibration. Mild soreness after the anesthesia wears off is normal. It can usually be managed well with the recommended medication and often subsides within two to three days.
Can I have the procedure under general anesthesia?
Yes. On request, we perform oral surgery under sedation (twilight sleep) or general anesthesia, particularly for anxious patients or more extensive procedures. We discuss whether this is appropriate for you during your consultation.
How long will I need to recover?
This depends on the extent of the procedure. After a straightforward extraction, most patients can resume normal activities the next day. After a larger procedure, plan to take it easy for two to three days. We can provide a medical certificate for work if needed.
What can I eat after the procedure?
Once the anesthesia has worn off, choose soft, lukewarm foods such as soup, purée, yogurt or scrambled eggs. For the first few days, avoid hot, spicy or crumbly foods as well as alcohol, coffee and nicotine, as they can interfere with wound healing.
Will health insurance cover the cost?
Medically necessary procedures such as tooth extraction or apicoectomy are covered by statutory health insurance. Additional services such as sedation or general anesthesia without a medical indication may involve private costs. We explain these transparently before treatment.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Usually very quickly. F80 is open 7 days a week: Monday to Friday 8 am–8 pm, Saturday 9 am–7 pm and Sunday 10 am–4 pm. We offer prompt appointments for acute pain or swelling – simply call 030 264 75 131.
