FAQs

At our practice, we provide several anesthesia options to keep you comfortable during procedures such as wisdom teeth removal and dental implants. These include local anesthesia to numb the specific area being treated, intravenous (IV) sedation to help you remain relaxed in a semi-conscious state, and general anesthesia for cases where being fully asleep is the best approach. The appropriate option depends on the complexity of your treatment and your individual comfort level. Understanding how anesthesia supports procedures like wisdom teeth removal and dental implants can help ease anxiety and allow you to feel more prepared for recovery. During your consultation, we will review your treatment plan and recommend the most suitable option for your specific needs.

Recovery depends on the type of procedure, as healing from wisdom teeth removal can look different from other treatments. Most patients want to know how long they’ll need to rest, what level of swelling or discomfort is normal, and when it’s safe to return to work or daily routines. At Jameson Oral & Implant Surgery, we provide clear aftercare guidance so you know exactly what to expect and can heal as smoothly and safely as possible.

Every procedure carries some degree of risk, and it’s important to understand them ahead of time. Potential complications can include infection, dry socket after extractions, bleeding, or reactions to anesthesia. For patients considering dental implants in Wilmington NC, we review these possibilities in detail and explain the steps taken to minimize them. Having this conversation upfront helps you feel informed, confident, and prepared before treatment.
