What Happens Before Surgery?
The process begins with a consultation where Dr. Johnson evaluates your specific needs. Using advanced imaging, we assess the positioning of your wisdom teeth and discuss whether removal is the best course of action. You’ll receive tailored instructions to prepare for the procedure, ensuring everything is seamless on the day of surgery.
What Happens During the Procedure?
On the day of your surgery, you’ll be made comfortable with sedation or anesthesia. This ensures a pain-free experience as your surgeon carefully removes your wisdom teeth. Depending on your teeth’s location, the surgeon may remove them in one piece or divide them into smaller sections. Afterward, the surgical area is cleaned and sutured as needed to promote proper healing.
How Long Is Recovery?
The recovery period typically lasts a few days, but you’ll begin feeling better as swelling and discomfort subside. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage pain, swelling, and dietary adjustments. Sticking to soft foods and using prescribed medications will help you heal effectively. Most patients return to their normal routine within a week.
