Why might I need oral surgery?

We get it – the term “oral surgery” can sound serious, painful, and expensive. But that isn’t always the case. Many patients undergo oral surgery to address common conditions, such as sleep apnea or tooth loss. Oral surgery can provide a solution to long-standing dental issues and keep them from worsening in the future. Plus, opting into oral surgery restores the form and function of your mouth and sets your oral health back on track. It can be difficult to know if oral surgery is right for you, so reach out to your doctor to get the conversation started.

Soothing Sedation Options

We understand that our office may not be everyone’s favorite place to be. To help mitigate this, Drs. Alex and Devin offer numerous forms of anxiety remedies. From anxiolysis to oral conscious sedation, we have an option that might work for you.

Laughing gas or nitrous oxide is a gas that is inhaled to achieve a light level of sedation and relaxation, similar to having a glass or two of wine. Patients remain fully awake throughout the procedure and our doctors monitor the level of gas for a safe and comfortable visit. Best of all, no morning after effect!

Treatment Planning & Preparation

Your dentist will walk you through your treatment, the surgery related to the treatment plan, what to expect the day of the procedure, and how to prepare. They work with IV sedation and general anesthesia regularly and will recommend the right sedation option based on your surgery and personal needs.

Day of Surgery

You may need to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment on the day of your surgery. Your dentist will make specific recommendations, but you may have to plan for a day off and have someone be with you for the rest of the day after your surgery.
