Frequently Asked Questions
Will oral surgery hurt?
We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure you're completely comfortable during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Simple extractions typically heal in a few days. More complex procedures like implant placement or bone grafting may require 1–2 weeks of careful healing.
What should I do before oral surgery?
We'll give you specific pre-operative instructions based on your procedure. Generally, avoid eating or drinking for several hours before sedation procedures, and arrange a driver if you're being sedated.
Can I go back to work the same day?
For simple extractions, many patients return to desk work the same day. For more involved procedures, we recommend taking at least 1–2 days off to rest and recover.
