When Is Oral Surgery Necessary?

Oral surgery may be recommended if:

A tooth is impacted or cannot be restored
Bone loss must be corrected before implants
Gum tissue requires repair or reshaping
A cyst, growth, or suspicious lesion is found
You need a surgical solution to a chronic dental issue

We will always explore conservative treatments first. If surgery is necessary, our team will walk you through each step, from preparation to recovery.

What to Expect Before and After Surgery

We’ll begin with a detailed consultation that includes imaging, diagnosis, and a personalized treatment plan. On the day of your procedure, you’ll receive local anesthesia, and sedation options will be discussed based on the complexity of the case and your comfort level.

Post-operative instructions are provided to support healing, which may include soft foods, rest, and medication for swelling or discomfort.

Most patients recover within a few days to a week depending on the procedure. We schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and progress.
