Frequently Asked Questions

What is oral surgery?

Oral or maxillofacial surgery is surgery administered in order to treat injuries, defects in the mouth or jaw, or diseases in the region.

Procedures at your Melbourne CBD dentist’s office, such as tooth extractions, reconstructive oral surgery, treatment of infections, wisdom tooth removal, and dental implants, are all issues that can be dealt with.

A tooth extraction means having a tooth removed. It is done for many reasons, from injury to spacing issues or infection in the mouth or jaw.

These are third molars that erupt in the mouth and typically don’t have enough room. When this occurs, wisdom teeth can come in sideways or only partially and become impacted. Some symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include pain or swelling in the gums or lower face. If they are left untreated, the infection can ensue.
Recovery time after wisdom tooth extraction varies from patient to patient. Initial pain or swelling can take up to two weeks.
