Everything was done in a timely fashion. The dental assistant is amazing! (Her name is Mickey.) She cleans without producing any kind of gum pain! They have updated the parking area, too. It's a great place to go to have dental work. My next visit was to have a crown. It was a perfect visit in every way. We started on time. The assistant was terrific. She explained what she was doing and had a very calming personality. I was amazed that when everything was finished, they did not need to make any adjustments. It fit perfectly! Hurray for technology and hurray for those who know how to use it! It is wonderful to be able to go in and within a couple of hours have the work completed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?
Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. If necessary, we'll recommend a bone graft to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants.
When can I exercise after oral surgery?
For the first 24 hours after oral surgery, you shouldn't attempt any sort of exercise. Doing too much too soon can cause problems. For example, strenuous exercise could loosen the blood clot on a tooth extraction site and cause a painful dry socket. After the first day, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for a few more days to be on the safe side.
Is there much pain after oral surgery?
The type of oral surgery you have will ultimately determine how much discomfort you feel, but rest assured our goal is always to provide the most comfortable dental care we can. For most of the oral surgery procedures we perform, over-the-counter pain relievers will take care of any discomfort. If needed, your dentist can prescribe something stronger to help you through the healing process.
