Oral Surgery

Are you seeking options to address tooth pain and missing teeth? Discover the transformative benefits of oral surgery at Dental Wellness of Bartow. From tooth extractions to dental implant placement, we make oral surgery as comfortable as it is effective.

When is Oral Surgery Necessary?

Patients need oral surgery for different reasons. For instance, people with advanced decay or trauma must undergo tooth extractions if we can't save their teeth. Removing impacted wisdom teeth also becomes necessary when they cause pain or misalignment.

Another common oral surgery procedure is the placement of dental implants into the jaw to replace missing teeth. Regardless of the oral surgery you need, our oral surgeons will thoroughly evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action to restore your health.

How to Prepare for Oral Surgery

Preparing for oral surgery involves a few simple steps such as:

• Discussing your medical history and medications with your surgeon
• Arranging transportation if you need sedation
• Following any fasting instructions provided

We will guide you through the preparation process and answer any questions before the procedure.

Is Oral Surgery Painful?

The thought of oral surgery goes hand in hand with the idea of pain. However, we perform most procedures under local anesthesia to make sure you're comfortable and pain-free during the surgery. We also have sedation options available to help patients with dental fear and anxiety.

If you experience pain or discomfort during the recovery phase, take prescribed or over-the-counter medications or book a visit to our practice for a check-up.

Tips to Recover After Oral Surgery

• Allow your body to heal by getting enough rest.
• Stick to soft foods to avoid irritation at the surgical site.
• Maintain good oral hygiene by following our recommendations.
• Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Refrain from smoking and using straws, as they can disrupt healing.
