Our advanced technology, including 3-D scanners, help us plan your procedure precisely. Your dentist focuses on minimizing discomfort and promote faster healing.
After your procedure, you’ll receive customized aftercare instructions to encourage healing and avoid complications. Your dentist will work with you on follow-up care if further treatments are needed.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery
We prioritize your comfort before, during, and after surgery. Your dentist will numb the area thoroughly, and sedation like laughing gas is available to help you relax. Our advanced technology makes the procedures more precise and minimize discomfort. After surgery, we’ll provide pain management tips and prescribe medications if necessary to ensure a smooth recovery.
Recovery times vary depending on the type of procedure you have. Simple procedures, such as tooth extractions, may take a few days to a week for initial healing, while more complex surgeries like bone grafts or sinus lifts may require several weeks. We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to help speed up healing and reduce complications. Regular follow-up visits will allow us to monitor your progress and ensure you’re healing properly.
During recovery, you may experience mild swelling, soreness, or bruising, which is normal. Applying ice packs, eating soft foods, and taking prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications will help manage discomfort. Keeping the surgical area clean and following our aftercare instructions are essential for proper healing. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits to check your progress and ensure that you’re healing well.
