Oral Surgery

How is oral surgery different from regular surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a variety of surgical procedures that Dental Arts of Beverly Hills performs on your oral tissues. When people hear the word “surgery,” they tend to think of long hospital stays and difficult recovery periods, but oral surgery tends to be less intense. In fact, Dental Arts of Beverly Hills performs all of their oral surgeries on location and as outpatient procedures.  

What conditions can you treat with oral surgery?

Dental Arts of Beverly Hills offers a wide array of high-quality oral surgery procedures. With the latest technology and most state-of-the-art treatments, the providers can treat a variety of oral health conditions, including:

• Molar endodontic disease
• Tooth loss
• Unequal jaw growth
• Cleft lip or cleft palate
• Mouth injuries and facial trauma
• Impacted teeth and impacted wisdom teeth
• Pathological conditions like cysts and tumors
• Facial pain

They also offer special oral surgeries for treating sleep apnea and improving functional or aesthetic facial defects. 

The providers at Dental Arts of Beverly Hills have a rich understanding of the connection between your mouth and the rest of your body and approach all of their oral surgeries with your overall health in mind. 

How should I prepare for oral surgery?

The process for getting oral surgery at Dental Arts of Beverly Hills begins with a surgical consultation. During your consultation, your provider discusses the details of your procedure with you. You can also ask them any questions you might have about the treatment.

If you’re interested in receiving sedation for your procedure, you should bring it up in your consultation. Dental Arts of Beverly Hills offers general anesthesia for some of their oral surgeries.

What is the recovery from oral surgery like?

The details of your recovery depend on the type of oral surgery you get. The healing process for a wisdom tooth extraction is significantly different than it is for corrective jaw surgery.

Dental Arts of Beverly Hills provides you with detailed aftercare instructions when you’ve finished your oral surgery. Following those instructions ensures that you heal as quickly and effectively as possible and that the results of your oral surgery are as successful as they can be.
