Common Questions About Oral Surgery
When would I need oral surgery?
There are many reasons you may need an oral surgery procedure. One of the most common is to remove teeth, whether you need to make room for dentures or another restoration or to avoid future dental problems. You may also need gum surgery to repair damaged gums. If you are getting implants, you may need a procedure such as a bone graft or sinus lift to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support them.
When is oral surgery covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans pay for at least a portion of oral surgery. So you know what to expect beforehand, we recommend checking with your individual plan to find out what is and isn't covered. To help with your portion of the cost, we offer third-party financing through CareCredit, which has attractive rates and payment options.
When can I exercise after oral surgery?
We recommend not exercising at all for the first 24 hours after oral surgery. Trying to do too much too soon can actually prolong healing. Vigorous exercise can loosen the blood clot on an extraction site and lead to a painful dry socket. For the next few days, a patient should limit activities to low-impact exercises as a precaution.
