Oral Surgery
Is oral surgery painful?
Oral surgery is performed under local anesthesia, conscious sedation or general anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. However, it is normal to experience discomfort or swelling during the recovery process, which is controlled with painkillers and postoperative care.
Risks
Although generally safe, risks include:
- Infection.
- Excessive bleeding.
- Injury to nearby nerves (may cause temporary or permanent numbness).
- Prolonged pain or poor healing.
Your surgeon will inform you about the specific risks of your procedure.
Recovery
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure and the patient's health. For example:
- Dental extractions: 3-5 days.
- Dental implants: Several weeks for the bone to heal completely.
- Jaw surgery: It may take 6 to 12 weeks for complete recovery.
Following the surgeon's instructions accelerates the process.
