FAQs

At our practice, we offer several anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during oral surgery. These include local anesthesia, which numbs the specific area being treated; intravenous (IV) sedation, which induces a relaxed, semi-conscious state; and general anesthesia, where you're fully asleep. The choice depends on the procedure and your individual needs. Understanding these options can help alleviate anxiety and prepare you for the recovery process. We'll discuss the most suitable option for your specific case during your consultation.

Recovery duration varies depending on the specific procedure you undergo. For instance, wisdom teeth removal and dental implant surgery have different recovery timelines. During your consultation, we'll provide detailed information about your expected recovery period, including the number of days you may need to rest, what level of discomfort or swelling is normal, and when you can resume work or regular activities. We provide comprehensive post-operative instructions to minimize complications and promote optimal healing. Our goal is to ensure you're well-informed about the recovery process to support a smooth healing journey.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with oral surgery. Common concerns include the possibility of infection, dry socket following tooth extractions, bleeding, and side effects related to anesthesia. During your consultation, we'll thoroughly discuss these potential risks as they pertain to your specific procedure. Our aim is to ensure you're fully informed and prepared before proceeding with treatment. We believe that open communication about potential complications contributes to better patient outcomes and peace of mind.
