What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures performed in or around the mouth and jaw. Common examples include tooth extractions, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, and treatment for oral conditions like cysts or infections.

How long does it take to recover from oral surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions to promote proper healing.
Do I need to see an oral surgeon for my procedure?
Yes, if your case involves complex dental or facial issues, such as impacted teeth, jaw misalignment, or reconstructive needs, an oral surgeon has the specialized training and expertise to handle these situations effectively.
Will I need someone to drive me home after oral surgery?
Yes, especially if IV sedation or general anesthesia is used. It’s important to arrange for a responsible adult to accompany you home after the procedure.
