What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures performed on the teeth, gums, jaw, or other oral and facial structures. These include tooth extractions, gum grafts, jaw realignment surgeries, and more. These procedures typically aim to resolve pain, treat trauma or infections, and improve oral health.

How long does an oral surgery take?
The duration of oral surgery can vary depending on the complexity and type of procedure. Simple extractions may take as little as 20-30 minutes, while more involved surgeries, like jaw realignment, can take several hours. We will provide you with a specific timeframe during your pre-surgery consultation.

What can I eat after oral surgery?
After oral surgery, sticking to soft foods that require minimal chewing is essential to promote healing. Yogurt, soup, smoothies, and mashed potatoes are excellent choices. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or very hot foods, as they can irritate the surgery site. We will give you detailed post-operative care instructions tailored to your specific needs.
