Your regular dentist handles cleanings, fillings, and crowns. Some problems go past that — a tooth that’s impacted, badly broken, or infected, or something on an X-ray that needs a closer look. That’s when an oral surgeon steps in.
You’d usually be seen here if you have:
If your face is swollen or an infection is spreading, call (332) 237-6453 instead of booking online.
Building up bone in the upper jaw, where the sinus sits close to where a tooth used to be.
If a tooth hasn’t come through on its own, we uncover it and attach a bracket so your orthodontist can move it into place.
We go through what’s been happening, your health history and your medications, and take X-rays or a 3D scan if there’s a reason for one. If you were referred, we’ll have looked at your records first, you’re not starting over.
What we recommend, what the alternatives are, how long each takes, and a written estimate. If surgery isn’t the right answer for you, we’ll say so.
Beforehand we go over your anesthesia options, how to prepare, and whether you’ll need a ride home. On the day, you’re numbed before anything starts, with sedation if that’s part of your plan, and the team checks in with you throughout.
You rest in the office for a bit, then go home with written instructions on eating, managing soreness, and what to watch for. You come back so we can check the area, and you have a number to call in between.
Most people are anxious before oral surgery, and it helps to say so at your consultation. Here’s what’s available:
Which of these makes sense depends on the procedure and on you — your health history, your medications, and how you feel about being awake for it. Your surgeon will go through the options that fit your case.
