Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery
Is oral surgery safe?
Yes. Oral surgery is safe when performed by an experienced professional. Coastline Dental in San Juan Capistrano uses advanced technology and strict sterilization protocols to ensure your safety and comfort during every procedure.
Will I feel pain during the surgery?
Most oral surgery procedures are performed using local anesthesia or sedation to keep you comfortable and pain-free. You may experience mild soreness afterward, but it is typically short-lived and easy to manage.
How long is the recovery from oral surgery?
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but most patients start feeling better within a few days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and avoid complications.
Can I drive myself home after surgery?
If sedation is used, you’ll need someone to drive you home. For simpler procedures performed with local anesthesia only, you can usually drive and resume normal activities afterward.
Is oral surgery covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your provider and plan. Our team can review your benefits and explain what portion of your oral surgery may be covered under your dental or medical insurance.
What can I eat after oral surgery?
Stick to soft foods such as yogurt, soup, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first day or two. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods until your mouth has healed.
How should I prepare for oral surgery?
Before your appointment, follow any instructions from your dentist, such as fasting if sedation will be used. Arrange for a ride home if needed and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of your procedure.
What are common types of oral surgery?
Common oral surgery procedures include tooth extractions (such as wisdom tooth removal), dental implant placement, bone grafting, and treatment for impacted wisdom teeth. Your dentist will discuss which procedure best fits your needs.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. Some wisdom teeth come in normally and don’t cause problems, but if they’re impacted, infected, or crowding other teeth, removal is usually recommended.
What is recovery like after wisdom tooth removal?
Most patients experience mild swelling or soreness for a few days. Following your aftercare instructions closely helps ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
When is the best age to remove wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are often removed in the late teens or early twenties, before the roots fully develop, which typically makes the procedure and recovery easier.
