What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to specialized procedures performed to address complex dental or jaw conditions. While some treatments can be managed through general dentistry, oral surgery is recommended for cases that require surgical precision, advanced tools, or deeper expertise.

Common oral surgery procedures include:

Coronectomy: A Conservative Approach

For some patients, removing an entire tooth—especially an impacted wisdom tooth—carries a higher risk of nerve damage. In these cases, our surgeons may recommend a coronectomy, a procedure where only the crown of the tooth is removed while the roots are left intact.

Benefits of Coronectomy:

  • Reduces risk of nerve injury in the lower jaw
  • Minimizes post-operative complications
  • Provides a safer alternative for patients with high-risk impactions

This option is considered on a case-by-case basis after thorough diagnostics and imaging.

FAQs About Oral Surgery

Answer text goes here

Is oral surgery painful?

No. We use anesthesia and sedation to make procedures as comfortable as possible. Some soreness is expected afterward, but it is manageable with medication.

When is a coronectomy better than a full extraction?

A coronectomy may be recommended if the roots of a tooth are close to the nerves in the jaw, particularly with impacted wisdom teeth.

How long is recovery after oral surgery?

Most patients recover in a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the procedure. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing.

Do you place dental implants in-house?

Yes. Our surgeons perform dental implant surgery and supporting procedures such as bone grafting.

Can I use insurance for oral surgery?

Yes. We accept all PPO insurance plans as well as Medi-Cal, and financing is available through options like CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry.
