Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about oral surgery.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery refers to procedures involving the teeth, gums, jawbone, and surrounding oral structures. Treatment may be recommended for tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, crown lengthening, and other dental concerns that require a surgical approach.
Is oral surgery painful?
Local anesthetic is used to help keep patients comfortable during treatment. Some soreness, swelling, or discomfort may occur afterward, but this is often temporary and can typically be managed by following post-operative instructions.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure performed and the individual's healing process. Some treatments require only a few days of recovery, while others may involve a longer healing period. Your dentist will provide specific guidance based on your treatment.
Will I receive instructions after surgery?
Yes. After treatment, our team will provide detailed instructions regarding oral hygiene, eating, activity levels, and other important aspects of recovery. Following these recommendations can help support proper healing.
How do I know if I need oral surgery?
If you are experiencing persistent pain, infection, impacted teeth, severe tooth damage, or other oral health concerns, a consultation can help determine whether oral surgery is appropriate. Our team will explain all available treatment options and recommendations.
