What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that require surgical intervention in the mouth, jaw, and face. It involves dental treatments that aim to improve oral health, function, and aesthetics, while alleviating pain and discomfort.

Here’s a list of oral surgeries performed by the expert oral surgeons at Smalto Dental Clinic:

Wisdom tooth extraction
Dental implants
Root canals
Apicectomy
Crown lengthening

Bone grafting
Incisions & drainage of oral infections
Periodontal surgery

Our dental surgeons are fully equipped to perform all types of oral surgeries quickly and pain-free, using local anaesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction – One Of The Most Popular Oral Surgeries

One of the most common oral surgeries is the extraction of impacted third molars, or else, wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth are the teeth that develop at the back of the mouth during late teens or early twenties. Yet, while wisdom teeth can be beneficial for chewing and adding structure to the jawline, they can also cause problems to other teeth.

Due to their position at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding or shifting of other teeth, leading to pain and discomfort. They can also become impacted, meaning they are trapped below the gum line, leading to infection, swelling, and damage to nearby teeth. In some cases, the only solution is to have the wisdom teeth removed by a specialist oral surgeon.

Wisdom teeth removal is a delicate procedure and must only be performed by an experienced, well-trained, and specialized dentist in oral surgeries. At Smalto Dental Clinic, our team has the expertise and experience to ensure that tooth extraction is performed safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What questions to ask before oral surgery?
Before undergoing oral surgery, it’s important to ask questions to understand the procedure and recovery fully.

What type of anesthesia will be used?
What are the risks and possible complications?
How long will the procedure take?
What should I do to prepare (medications, diet, etc.)?
What level of pain or discomfort should I expect afterward?
What activities should I avoid during recovery?
How do I care for my mouth post-surgery to promote healing?
What warning signs should I watch for after the surgery?

What are the don’ts after oral surgery?
To ensure smooth healing after oral surgery, avoid the following:

Don’t smoke or use tobacco products — they slow healing and raise infection risk.
Don’t use straws — suction can dislodge blood clots and cause dry socket.
Don’t eat hard, sticky, or crunchy foods that may disturb stitches.
Don’t drink alcohol — it interferes with healing and may cause bleeding.
Don’t engage in intense physical activity for a few days.
Don’t brush or floss near the surgical site until your surgeon advises it.

Follow all post-operative instructions from your surgeon and contact them immediately if you notice unusual swelling, bleeding, or pain.

What is the process of getting a dental implant?
Dental implants are placed in several stages over a few months:

Consultation & Planning: The dentist assesses your oral health and plans treatment.
Tooth Extraction (if needed): Any remaining tooth is removed.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
Healing Phase: The implant integrates with bone (osseointegration).
Abutment Placement: The connector between the implant and crown is attached.
Crown Placement: A custom-made replacement tooth is fixed onto the abutment.

With proper care, implants can last many years and look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

How many days should you rest after oral surgery?
Plan to rest for at least 24–48 hours after your oral surgery.

Rest: Avoid strenuous activity and get plenty of sleep.
Ice: Apply ice packs for 10–20 minutes to reduce swelling.
Pain Relief: Take prescribed medication as directed.
Diet: Eat soft foods and avoid alcohol, smoking, and straws.
Oral Hygiene: Follow instructions carefully — usually gentle rinsing with salt water.
Follow-ups: Attend all post-surgery appointments to ensure healing is on track.

What is best to eat before an oral surgery?
If permitted to eat before surgery, choose light, easily digestible foods that won’t upset your stomach:

Clear liquids — water, apple juice, or broth.
Soft foods — mashed potatoes, oatmeal, yogurt, or scrambled eggs.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated drinks, as they can cause dehydration and affect anesthesia. Always follow your surgeon’s pre-op instructions.

Why have oral surgery?
Oral surgery may be required for:

Severe tooth decay or damage
Gum (periodontal) disease
Impacted wisdom teeth
Jaw alignment issues
Facial or jaw trauma

It helps restore function, relieve pain, and protect your overall oral health.

What happens during oral surgery?
The procedure begins with local anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort.

The surgeon uses specialized instruments to perform the treatment.
Depending on complexity, surgery may last from a few minutes to several hours.
Post-procedure care instructions are provided to aid recovery and prevent complications.

Your oral surgeon will ensure the process is as smooth and as pain-free as possible.
