What Is Oral Surgery in Dentistry?

Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the teeth, gums, jawbone, or surrounding tissues to treat a variety of dental health concerns. These procedures are often necessary when issues cannot be resolved through general dental care alone. At Lund Family Dentistry, our experienced team performs many of these surgeries right in our office, ensuring continuity of care and a comfortable experience.

Why Oral Surgery May Be Needed

Oral surgery plays a critical role in:

  • Removing damaged, infected, or impacted teeth
  • Treating oral infections or abscesses
  • Preparing the mouth for dental implants or dentures
  • Repairing jaw or soft tissue damage
  • Preventing complications from untreated dental conditions

Whether you're dealing with persistent pain, advanced decay, or preparation for future restorative work, our surgical services support both your immediate comfort and long-term oral health.

Our Oral Surgery Services Include:

  • Tooth Extractions
    Including both simple and surgical extractions, such as wisdom teeth removal.
  • Wisdom Teeth Removal
    Safely removing impacted or problematic third molars to prevent crowding or infection.
  • Bone Grafting
    A necessary procedure to strengthen the jawbone before placing dental implants or after tooth loss.
  • Dental Implant Placement
    Surgically placing titanium posts into the jaw to serve as the foundation for permanent tooth replacements.
  • Treatment of Infections or Cysts
    Draining abscesses, removing cysts, or treating infected areas to protect surrounding tissue and bone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is oral surgery painful?

We prioritize your comfort with local anesthesia and sedation options. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.

How long is the recovery time after oral surgery?

Recovery times vary by procedure but generally range from a few days to a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing.

When should wisdom teeth be removed?

Wisdom teeth are typically removed in the late teens or early twenties—especially if they’re impacted, causing pain, or threatening nearby teeth.

Do I need a referral for oral surgery?

Not always. If you're already a patient at Lund Family Dentistry, we can assess your needs and perform many oral surgery procedures in-house.
