Common Oral Surgery Procedures

While the term "surgery" can sound intimidating, most oral surgeries are routine outpatient procedures performed under local anesthesia. Our team ensures that you are completely comfortable and pain-free throughout the entire process.

Why Might You Need Oral Surgery?

• Wisdom Teeth Removal: Impacted or partially erupted third molars that cause pain, infection, or crowding.
• Tooth Extractions: Removing teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, or loose due to periodontal disease.
• Bone Grafting: Adding bone density to the jaw to prepare for future dental implants.
• Pre-prosthetic Surgery: Reshaping the jawbone or gums to ensure a comfortable fit for dentures.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Comprehensive Exam: We take detailed 3D scans (CBCT) or digital X-rays to assess the nerve pathways, bone structure, and root positions.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered. For anxious patients, sedation options may be discussed to ensure absolute comfort.
3. The Surgery: The surgeon carefully performs the necessary procedure, such as extracting an impacted wisdom tooth, with precision to minimize tissue trauma.
4. Sutures & Gauze: Dissolvable stitches may be placed, and you will be asked to bite on a gauze pad to control bleeding and promote clotting.

How Long Does It Take?

Simple extractions can take as little as 20 minutes, while complex wisdom tooth removals or bone grafting may take 45 to 90 minutes depending on the surgical complexity.

Aftercare Instructions

• Bite firmly on the provided gauze for 30-45 minutes to help the blood clot form.
• Do NOT spit, rinse vigorously, or drink through a straw for 24 hours to prevent a painful "dry socket".
• Apply an ice pack to the outside of your face to reduce swelling.
• Eat only soft foods (yogurt, soup, mashed potatoes) for the first few days.
