Oral Surgery

What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a term that can refer to a number of different surgical procedures that can be performed on your teeth, gums, jaws, or other dental structures. Some of the most common issues that oral surgery can help with include, but are not limited to:
Tooth decay
Tooth damage
Gum disease
Oral cancers
Impacted tooth growth
Bone loss
Jaw disorders
Sleep apnea
What to Expect
Since “oral surgery” is a broad term, your experience may differ greatly from another patient’s depending on the procedures each receives. The most common procedures can include tooth extraction, dental bone grafts, periodontal surgery, corrective jaw surgery, sleep apnea surgery, and cleft lip and palate repair.
Before the surgery itself, the dentist will first examine you thoroughly in order to investigate the condition of your dental cavity, including your teeth, gums, and jaw. This will likely also include medical imaging, e.g. X-rays and other medical scans, in order to be able to diagnose any relevant issues as accurately as possible.
During the surgery, dental surgeons may offer various forms of mild to deep sedation, depending on the procedure. Afterwards, you will be briefed on any necessary post-operative care, as well as any needed follow-up appointments.
F.A.Q.s
Are there any after care instructions for crowns and bridges?
When you have the temporary crown or bridge placed, please avoid chewing gum or any sticky foods until your final appointment. Do not floss around the temporary filling or crown, as it may become loose. Once the final crown or bridge is placed, you may proceed to brush and floss like a normal tooth.
What are the after care instructions for oral surgery?
Your after care instructions will differ depending on the procedures you receive.
Are there any potential risks or complications from oral surgery?
Risks and complications from oral surgery can include infection, injuries caused to nearby teeth, dry sockets, numbness in the mouth, tooth root fragments, and sinus issues. These risks can be minimised by following the post-op care instructions that the dentist will provide to you.
When should I contact my dentist after oral surgery?
If you experience persistent pain, fever, or drainage at the surgical site after oral surgery, contact your healthcare provider immediately, as these may indicate infection requiring prompt treatment.
What is the normal recovery time for oral surgery?
Healing times differ depending on the individual, but most go back to normal within roughly one week. Going back to work or school can take one to three days, depending on how extensive a surgery the individual underwent.
