When should you see a oral surgery?

See an oral surgeon for wisdom tooth pain or swelling, broken teeth that can't be saved, dental implant placement, jaw pain or clicking, facial injury, or suspicious lumps in your mouth. Most general dentists refer to oral surgeons, but you can schedule a consultation directly — especially for wisdom teeth evaluation.

Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Not everyone needs wisdom teeth removed. Removal is recommended if they're impacted (stuck below the gum), growing at an angle that threatens adjacent teeth, causing pain or infection, or contributing to crowding. If wisdom teeth are fully erupted, properly positioned, and you can clean them effectively, they may not need removal. An oral surgeon can evaluate with a panoramic X-ray or 3D scan.
What's recovery like after wisdom tooth removal?
Most patients recover in 3–7 days. Day 1–2: rest, ice packs, soft foods, pain medication as prescribed. Swelling peaks at 48–72 hours. Day 3–4: swelling starts decreasing, can begin gentle saltwater rinses. Day 5–7: most patients return to normal activities. Avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing for at least a week — these can dislodge the blood clot and cause a painful dry socket.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available. During the procedure, you should feel no pain. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild — similar to a tooth extraction — and managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. The implant then heals for 3–6 months before the crown is placed.
What's the difference between an oral surgeon and a dentist extracting a tooth?
Oral surgeons handle complex extractions: impacted wisdom teeth, teeth with curved or hooked roots, teeth broken below the gumline, and patients with medical complexities. They can provide IV sedation and general anesthesia in their office. General dentists handle straightforward extractions of fully erupted teeth. If your tooth is impacted, infected, or has complex anatomy, an oral surgeon is the safer choice.
When is jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) needed?
Jaw surgery may be recommended when the upper and lower jaws don't meet correctly and can't be fixed with orthodontics alone. Indications include: severe overbite or underbite, open bite (front teeth don't touch), facial asymmetry, difficulty chewing or speaking, sleep apnea caused by jaw position, and TMJ pain from jaw misalignment. It's typically done in conjunction with orthodontic treatment.
