Oral Surgery Q & A

What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to specialized dental procedures used to treat conditions affecting the teeth, gums, or jaw. At Marvel Dental, we use advanced technology and gentle techniques to ensure every procedure is safe, precise, and as comfortable as possible. Local anesthesia is always used so you remain pain-free during treatment.

Preparing for Oral Surgery

Before recommending surgery, our dentists will review your medical and dental history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a comprehensive oral exam. Digital X-rays are often taken to evaluate your jaw, tooth roots, and supporting bone structure.

Whenever possible, we explore conservative treatments first. If those options are not enough to restore your oral health, our team may recommend oral surgery tailored to your needs.

Different Types of Oral Surgery?

At Marvel Dental, we provide several types of oral surgery depending on your needs:

Tooth Extractions

If a tooth is broken beyond repair or severely decayed, an extraction may be necessary.

The dentist gently loosens the tooth before removing it
Gauze is placed to control bleeding
Clear aftercare instructions are provided for a smooth recovery

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is often the best way to save a natural tooth instead of extracting it.

Infected pulp is carefully removed
The inside of the tooth is disinfected and filled with gutta-percha
The tooth is restored to preserve chewing and biting function

Periodontal Surgery

For advanced gum disease, surgical treatment may be required.

Gum flap surgery or grafting restores the gumline
Protects exposed tooth roots
Helps prevent further bone or tissue damage

Recovery After Oral Surgery?

Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure, but most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

During the healing process, you may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or sensitivity. To promote healing, we recommend:

Resting and avoiding strenuous activity
Drinking plenty of water
Eating soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or scrambled eggs
Taking medications as prescribed
Avoiding smoking, alcohol, and chewing hard foods
