Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery FAQs
When is surgical extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth necessary?
Surgical extraction is recommended when the wisdom tooth is trapped beneath bone or gums, causing recurrent pericoronitis infections, cyst formation, tooth decay in adjacent molars, or crowding of dental arches.
Can oral and dental surgeries be performed under sedation or general anesthesia?
Yes, depending on procedure complexity and patient comfort, surgeries can be safely performed under local anesthesia, conscious intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia administered by consultant anesthesiologists.
What are the main indications for orthognathic corrective jaw surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is performed to correct severe underbites, overbites, crossbites, facial asymmetry, chronic jaw pain (TMJ disorders), and obstructive sleep apnea when orthodontic braces alone cannot resolve the skeletal misalignment.
What is bone grafting and why is it needed before dental implants?
Bone grafting restores lost jawbone volume caused by long-term tooth loss, periodontal disease, or trauma, establishing a strong, vascularized foundation to support dental implant osseointegration.
How long is the typical recovery period following oral surgery?
Most minor oral procedures (such as extractions and single implants) require 2 to 4 days of initial healing, while major corrective jaw surgeries involve 2 to 4 weeks of structured recovery with gradual dietary progression.
