The Oral Surgery Treatment Process
Treatment Planning & Preparation
Your oral surgeon will walk you through your treatment, the surgery related to the treatment plan, what to expect on the day of the procedure, and how to prepare. They work with IV sedation and general anesthesia regularly and will recommend the right sedation option based on your surgery and personal needs.
Day Of Surgery
You will need to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment on the day of your surgery. Your oral surgeon will make specific recommendations, but you should plan for a day off and have someone be with you for the rest of the day after your surgery.
Healing & Aftercare
Give yourself a few days to heal after surgery. Swelling and discomfort for the next 24 hours are normal. Keep your head elevated and use ice packs to reduce swelling. Take any medications as directed by your oral surgeon. Stick to a soft food diet for the first 48 hours after surgery.

How Long Does Oral Surgery Take?
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 of teeth, can take hours. Your oral surgeon 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.
How Much Does Oral Surgery Cost?
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 and/or medical insurance does not cover your oral surgery, consider loans or a payment plan to get the care you need.
Is Oral Surgery Covered By Insurance?
Possibly, depending on your insurance provider and coverage. You should talk to your dental and medical insurance providers to see if your recommended oral surgery is covered. It may also be worthwhile to file your claim with both your dental insurance provider and your medical insurance provider, since the surgery may qualify as a medically necessary procedure.
