If you’re dealing with a dental issue, there’s no need to wait in pain. Whether you require multiple dental implants or a simple extraction, oral surgery can correct issues and set your smile up for long-term success.
We get it – the term “oral surgery” can sound serious, painful, and expensive. But that isn’t always the case. Many patients undergo oral surgery to address common conditions, such as sleep apnea or tooth loss. Oral surgery can provide a solution to long-standing dental issues and keep them from worsening in the future. Plus, opting into oral surgery restores the form and function of your mouth and sets your oral health back on track. It can be difficult to know if oral surgery is right for you, so reach out to your doctor to get the conversation started.
The most common oral surgery is the removal of wisdom teeth.

Possibly, depending on your insurance provider and coverage. You should talk to your dental insurance provider to see if your recommended oral surgery is covered. It may also be worthwhile to file your claim with your dental insurance provider, since the surgery may qualify as a medically necessary procedure.

The cost of oral surgery varies from procedure to procedure. Similar to time commitment, simpler surgeries will be less expensive and complex surgeries will be more expensive. If your dental insurance does not cover your oral surgery, consider loans or a payment plan to get the care you need.
It completely depends on the procedure and the complexity of your case. Simpler procedures, such as tooth extractions, can take minutes; more time may be needed to properly sedate you. Complex procedures, like placing dental implants for a full arch or teeth, can take hours. Your doctor will give you a thorough explanation of the procedure, tell you how to properly prepare, and let you know what to expect on the day.
