The Oral Surgery Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

The first step in the oral surgery process is an initial consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Sweeney will conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays or other imaging tests, to understand the full scope of your condition.

He will discuss your medical history, any symptoms you’re experiencing, and your treatment options. This is your opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns you may have about the surgery.

The goal of this consultation is to ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable with the proposed treatment plan.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

Once your treatment plan has been agreed upon, the next step is pre-surgical preparation.

This might involve taking certain medications, fasting for a specified period before the surgery, or arranging for transportation on the day of the procedure.

Dr. Sweeney and his team will provide you with detailed instructions to follow to ensure your surgery goes as smoothly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

During the procedure, anesthetics or sedation are used to ensure you feel no pain. After surgery, some discomfort, swelling, or soreness is normal but can be managed with prescribed pain relievers and post-operative care instructions from your oral surgeon.

The type of anesthesia depends on the procedure and your comfort level. Options include local anesthesia to numb the area, IV sedation for relaxation, or general anesthesia for more complex surgeries. Your oral surgeon will discuss the best option for your needs.

Your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon for issues like impacted wisdom teeth, missing teeth requiring implants, jaw misalignment, or other conditions needing specialized care. You can also consult directly with an oral surgeon if you suspect a need for surgical intervention.

Stick to soft foods and liquids such as yogurt, applesauce, soup, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or hard foods that could irritate the surgical site. Your oral surgeon will provide detailed dietary guidelines based on your specific procedure.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Simple extractions may require a few days of rest, while more complex surgeries like dental implants or jaw realignment may take several weeks to heal fully. Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for optimal recovery.

Oral surgeons undergo additional years of specialized training in surgical procedures involving the mouth and jaw. They are equipped to handle complex cases like impacted teeth, bone grafting, and facial trauma that go beyond a general dentist's expertise.

If you receive sedation or general anesthesia during your procedure, you will need someone to drive you home. It’s recommended to rest for at least 24 hours before resuming normal activities.
