Oral surgery covers surgical procedures that go beyond conventional dental treatment — complex extractions, implant placement, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and removal of cysts or deep infections.

Oral surgery is needed when a tooth can’t be removed with a simple extraction, when there isn’t enough bone to support a dental implant, when wisdom teeth become impacted, or when an infection or cyst requires surgical removal.

Procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during surgery — only pressure. Mild discomfort during recovery is normal and manageable with standard aftercare.

Your care team will give you specific pre-op instructions based on your procedure and sedation level, which may include fasting beforehand, arranging a ride home, and pausing certain medications.

Most procedures take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on complexity — a simple extraction is much faster than a bone graft or impacted wisdom tooth removal.

Recovery varies by procedure, but generally involves some swelling and mild discomfort for the first 2-3 days, manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief and aftercare instructions.

Most patients return to light daily activities within 1-2 days and are fully back to normal within 1-2 weeks, depending on the procedure.

Contact us if you experience heavy bleeding that doesn’t stop, severe pain that worsens instead of improving, fever, or swelling that continues to increase after the first few days.

Cost depends on the specific procedure and is confirmed during your evaluation. Some oral surgery procedures are partially covered by dental or medical insurance — our team can verify your specific benefits.
