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.
