Recovery depends on the procedure’s complexity. Simple extractions usually heal within several days to a week. More complex surgeries, such as wisdom teeth removal, may take two weeks or longer. Adhering to post-operative care instructions promotes faster healing.

Mild pain and discomfort are common but can generally be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling and bruising may occur, but can be minimized by following your dentist’s aftercare recommendations, including ice application and medication.

Post-surgery, it is recommended to eat soft foods and avoid chewing near the surgical site. As healing progresses, you can gradually resume your regular diet. Hard, crunchy, or sticky foods should be avoided for several weeks to prevent complications.

Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Many policies include routine tooth extractions, while procedures like wisdom teeth removal or advanced surgeries may require prior authorization. It is advisable to confirm your benefits with your insurance provider.

Preparation may involve fasting for several hours before the procedure. If sedation or anesthesia will be used, arrange for someone to drive you home afterward. Our team will provide detailed pre-operative instructions to help you prepare effectively.
