What is oral surgery?

Why Might I Need Oral Surgery?

There are many reasons why you might need oral surgery, including:

• Impacted wisdom teeth: If your wisdom teeth are not able to fully emerge from the gum due to lack of space, they may become impacted and require surgical removal.

• Dental implants: If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be an option for replacing them. Dental implant surgery involves placing small titanium screws into the jawbone to serve as the root of the missing tooth.

• Tooth extractions: In some cases, a tooth may be damaged beyond repair and need to be removed. Tooth extractions may also be necessary to prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment or to make room for a dental implant.

What to Expect During Oral Surgery

The specifics of your oral surgery will depend on the procedure being performed. In general, you can expect the following:

• Consultation: During your initial consultation, your oral surgeon will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment options.

• Anesthesia: Depending on the complexity of the procedure, you may be given local anesthesia to numb the area being treated or general anesthesia to put you to sleep.

• Procedure: The actual surgery will be performed in the dental office or in a surgical center, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

• Recovery: After the procedure, you will be given instructions for post-surgical care, including how to manage any pain or discomfort. You will also be given a follow-up appointment to check on your progress.
