Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery includes surgical procedures to treat conditions affecting your teeth, gums, mouth, jaw, and facial structures — from extractions to gum grafting — with expert care and comfort.
Q.
What types of oral surgery procedures does Lakeside Family Dentistry offer?
We perform tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and gingival (gum) grafting, all delivered with experienced, compassionate care tailored to your needs.
Q.
Why might I need a tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction may be recommended if a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or causing crowding. Removing the tooth can relieve pain and protect your oral health when other treatments aren’t suitable.
Q.
Are wisdom teeth extractions necessary?
Not all wisdom teeth need removal, but if they cause pain, infection, crowding, or remain impacted, extraction helps prevent future problems and protects nearby teeth.
Q.
Will oral surgery be painful?
We use local anesthesia and, if needed, sedation options so you remain comfortable during your procedure. Many patients report minimal discomfort thanks to our gentle approach.
Q.
How long does healing take after oral surgery?
Healing time varies by procedure — simple extractions may heal in a few days, while more involved treatments like gum grafting can take longer. Your doctor will provide a personalized recovery timeline.
