Oral Surgery

At your initial consultation, we will take time to assess your overall oral health and discuss your specific needs. Expect a thorough examination, including digital imaging, to provide a clear picture of your situation. 

From there, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan and answer any questions you have about the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes.

At Schein Dental, our goal is to make sure you feel confident and well-informed about your surgery options. We’ll also review the logistics, including scheduling, costs, and any necessary preparation to pursue the best results.

In many cases, oral surgery is covered by medical insurance, but this depends on the specifics of your plan and the nature of the procedure. 

For example, surgeries related to medically necessary procedures such as jaw alignment or dental extractions might be covered. However, cosmetic procedures like dental implants may not be included under standard medical insurance plans.

At Schein Dental, our team is here to help you understand and explore your insurance coverage. We can help verify your benefits and work with your insurance provider to assist in securing the maximum coverage available.

For your comfort, we offer various sedation options, including local anesthesia, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia. The type of sedation we use will depend on the complexity of your procedure and your comfort level. Local anesthesia is commonly used for less invasive surgeries, while general anesthesia may be required for more complex procedures.

We’ll discuss your options with you before the surgery to make sure you’re at ease with the plan. Your safety and comfort are our top priority at Schein Dental throughout the entire process.

While the thought of oral surgery can sound intimidating, most patients experience only minimal discomfort thanks to advanced pain management techniques. You may feel some soreness after the procedure, but it’s typically well-controlled with prescribed medications and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including tips on managing any post-surgical discomfort. With proper care, any pain should subside within a few days, leaving you with a healthier smile.

The duration of an oral surgery depends on the type and complexity of the procedure. Simple extractions or dental implant placements may take as little as 30 minutes, while more involved surgeries, such as corrective jaw surgery, may require several hours.

Regardless of the procedure, we take great care to perform the surgery efficiently while prioritizing your safety and comfort. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline before the surgery so you can plan accordingly.
