The area is numbed and the procedure is completed in one appointment with sedation available. Post-operative soreness is managed with medication, and most patients heal comfortably within a week.
Most oral surgery procedures are completed in a single appointment lasting one to two hours, with healing typically wrapping up within one to two weeks depending on the complexity of the case.
Follow post-operative instructions carefully, especially around diet, activity, and medication. The more closely instructions are followed, the smoother the recovery.
