Frequently Asked Questions
Does oral surgery hurt?
The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the patient feels no pain during the intervention.
What are the necessary precautions after a tooth extraction?
The instructions given by the medical team must be followed rigorously, as rest, avoiding physical exertion, following the dentist's guidelines, and maintaining good oral hygiene are fundamental.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but it is generally about a week.
Does oral surgery leave visible marks?
Most procedures are performed inside the oral cavity, which avoids visible scarring. Aesthetics are always taken into consideration when planning the treatment.
In what cases is bone regeneration necessary?
When there is significant bone loss in the area of the teeth, whether due to infection or prolonged tooth absence, regeneration allows the recovery of the necessary structure for subsequent treatments, such as implant placement.
