About the dentist
Donatas Kubilius is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon working in dental clinics across western Lithuania. At Miško Dental Clinic he sees patients as a consulting specialist: he takes on cases that need surgical help but do not require hospital treatment. In the words of the clinic’s dentist Lauras Smilgevičius, "the surgical part of implant placement is carried out by oral and maxillofacial surgeon Donatas Kubilius, who has extensive experience in this field".
Dr Donatas’s path into surgery was a steady one. He studied medicine for six years at the LSMU Faculty of Medicine, followed by his internship in Klaipėda and a five-year residency in maxillofacial surgery at LSMU Kaunas Clinics. He gained international experience over two years at Morriston Hospital in Swansea, one of the best-known maxillofacial surgery units in the United Kingdom.
At Miško Clinic, Dr Donatas usually handles the more complex cases, those where implant placement, lack of bone and sinus anatomy all come together. When bone height is insufficient or a case calls for broader surgical expertise, the clinic team turns to him.
Clinical areas
-
The surgical part of dental implantation
Placement of standard and more complex implants. At Miško Clinic, the surgical part of implant placement is carried out by Dr Donatas, and the clinic’s dentists then take over the crown prosthetics.
-
Bone augmentation (bone grafting)
When there is not enough space for an implant, the surgeon uses bone augmentation materials (Bio-Oss, collagen membranes). Often combined with a sinus lift.
-
Sinus lift
Open (lateral) sinus lift surgery before implant placement. The work requires 3D planning and a delicate surgical technique.
-
Complex tooth extraction
Impacted (unerupted) wisdom teeth, complex extractions where roots fracture or the tooth is badly broken down.
-
Odontogenic cyst removal
Removal of jawbone cysts (cystectomy) and other oral surgical procedures that call for surgical expertise.
-
