Frequently Asked- Questions
Dental Surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, jawbones, and related structures. It involves diagnosing and treating various dental conditions that require surgical intervention, such as tooth extraction, dental implant placement, jaw realignment, and oral pathology management.
Dental surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures. Some common examples include tooth extractions (including impacted wisdom teeth), dental implant placement, bone grafting, sinus lift surgery, apicoectomy (root-end surgery), gum surgery (periodontal surgery), orthognathic surgery (jaw realignment), and treatment of oral lesions or abnormalities.
The recovery period after dental surgery varies depending on the specific procedure performed and the individual's healing capabilities. In general, it may take a few days to several weeks for complete recovery. Your dentist will provide instructions on post-operative care, including dietary restrictions, oral hygiene practices, and follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.
