Common Oral Surgery Questions

  • What is oral surgery?

    Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaw, and face. It includes procedures such as tooth extraction, dental implant placement, corrective jaw surgery, and treatment of oral diseases or injuries that require surgical intervention.

  • How long does it take to recover from oral surgery?

    Recovery time after oral surgery varies depending on the specific procedure performed. Simple procedures like tooth extraction may require only a few days of recovery, while more complex surgeries like jaw reconstruction or dental implant placement may require several weeks for complete healing. Your oral surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative care instructions to help facilitate a smooth recovery.

  • Will I be awake during oral surgery?

    The level of anesthesia or sedation used during oral surgery depends on the procedure and your personal preference. Local anesthesia is commonly used to numb the surgical area, while sedation options like oral sedation, nitrous oxide, or intravenous (IV) sedation can be employed to keep you relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.

  • What are the risks and complications associated with oral surgery?

    Like any surgical procedure, oral surgery carries some risks and potential complications. These can include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, sinus complications, and delayed healing. However, with proper preoperative evaluation, surgical expertise, and post-operative care, the risk of complications is significantly minimized.

  • How can I prepare for oral surgery?

    Preparing for oral surgery may involve providing a detailed medical history, undergoing a thorough oral examination, and following pre-operative instructions such as fasting before the procedure if necessary. Your oral surgeon will provide you with specific guidelines to ensure a smooth and successful surgery.
