If it is very large, or has caused damage, we may remove some teeth, roots, and a section of jawbone. Afterwards, the cyst will be sent to a special pathologist for analysis. Such surgeries usually takes up to an hour.
The length of time for the removal of a dental cyst may be dependent upon the type of dental cyst to be removed, the location and size of the cyst, the age and physical status of the patient as well as the surgical expertise of the person performing the surgery with available surgical technology.
