Oral Surgery FAQs
What is An Oral And Maxillofacial Surgeon?
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) specializes in the surgical treatment of abnormalities, diseases, and injuries in the jaws, teeth, and oral cavity. An OMS treats issues ranging from tooth extraction to complex reconstructive surgery of the mouth.
What Should I Expect On My First Visit?
Your first visit to an oral surgeon includes a consultation and comprehensive examination to determine the root of your oral problems and determine a personalized treatment plan. We’ll discuss your options in detail, finding the best treatment to address your specific needs.
What If My Tongue And Lips Are Numb?
It’s normal to experience numbness in your tongue, gums, teeth, and lips following jaw surgery. Irritation to the nerves often causes numbness for a short period of time.
What Happens If My Sutures Fall Out?
Oral surgeons often use resorbable stitches in oral surgery. Most of these resorbable sutures disappear within 3 to 10 days. It is normal for sutures to fall out, but it is not normal for them to cause bleeding or pain. If you have pain or bleeding, contact us immediately.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Since oral surgery ranges from minor to major, recovery times vary for each patient. The most important thing to remember is to allow your body enough time to rest and recuperate following any oral surgery. We’ll provide specific recommendations depending on your procedure.
How Long Will There Be Holes In My Jaw?
The sockets, or holes, in your jaw should close within six weeks. It can take months before the open sockets fill in with bone.
