The Essentials of Oral Surgery
When it comes to oral health, sometimes basic dental care isn’t enough. For more complex issues, oral surgery can be necessary. At TLC Dental, we understand that the thought of undergoing surgery can be daunting. That’s why we’re here to explain the essentials of oral surgery, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable before you even step into the surgery room.
What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at treating injuries, defects, and diseases of the mouth, jaw, and teeth. These procedures can range from tooth extractions and dental implants to more complex jaw realignment surgeries and gum grafts. At TLC Dental, our skilled oral surgeons are equipped with advanced technology and techniques to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Understanding what to expect and how to prepare can significantly ease your nerves and optimise your recovery. Here’s what you need to consider:
Health Assessment and Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where your oral surgeon will review your medical history and conduct a thorough examination. This step is crucial to designing a surgery plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Understanding the Procedure
Our team at TLC Dental will walk you through the specific steps of your upcoming procedure. We believe in transparent communication to help demystify the process. Whether you’re coming in for a simple extraction or a more involved reconstructive surgery, knowing the steps involved can help reduce any anxiety.
Pre-Surgery Instructions
Depending on the type of surgery, you may need to fast for several hours before the procedure or adjust your usual medication regimen. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process.
During the Procedure
On the day of your surgery, our dedicated team will ensure you are as comfortable as possible. Local anaesthesia or sedation will be used to minimise discomfort. Our state-of-the-art facilities are designed to make the procedure as smooth and efficient as possible.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery times can vary depending on the complexity of the surgery and your overall health. We will equip you with all the necessary aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing. Pain management, infection prevention, and dietary advice will all be tailored to your specific situation.
