Oral Surgery Indications

There are several indications for oral surgery. Extracting impacted teeth is one of the most common oral surgeries done all over the world. At Concord Woods Dental Group, we extract teeth weekly. If the tooth is above the gum line but still causing problems, we can often remove it using simple extraction. When the tooth is impacted, however, surgery is required.

Flap surgery is used to treat severe periodontal disease. Patients with severe periodontal disease have bacteria in pockets under their gums. We need to create a flap and elevate the gums to reach these pockets and clean them. After cleaning, the gums are sutured back in place and allowed to heal.

Bone grafts and jaw surgery are also common. We perform bone grafts to replace lost bone tissue due to periodontal disease or other conditions. Jaw surgery is sometimes required following trauma to the face.

Recovery after Oral Surgery

Recovery is something patients worry about and rightly so. It makes sense to wonder how much time you’ll need to take off work and before you can resume your life without restrictions. We’ll prescribe painkillers to keep you comfortable while you recover from oral surgery.

Bleeding will vary depending on the procedure, and mild oozing is expected for several hours. We’ll give you instructions on how to limit bleeding and swelling. We want our patients to have smooth and swift recoveries.
