Our Surgical Treatment Options
Our team performs several common oral surgery procedures in-house, which allows patients to continue visiting the same practice and work with the same team that they’re used to.
Dental Extractions — In some cases, a tooth may be too damaged by decay, infection, or trauma to be saved. Dental extractions remove problematic teeth to protect your overall oral health and prevent further complications.
Root Canal Therapy — When infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy can often save the natural tooth. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent future infection.
Dental Implants — Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants are designed to function like natural tooth roots and provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, helping restore both appearance and chewing function.
What to Expect
After Oral Surgery
The recovery process depends on the type of oral surgery you receive. Most patients experience some mild swelling, tenderness, or discomfort during the first few days after treatment. Applying ice packs, taking any recommended medications, and following your post-operative instructions can help support healing and keep you comfortable.
It is also important to eat soft foods, stay hydrated, and avoid activities that could interfere with the surgical site. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and monitor your healing to help ensure a successful recovery.
How soon can I get a
dental implant placed after an extraction?
The timing of dental implant placement varies from patient to patient. In some cases, an implant can be placed soon after a tooth extraction if the surrounding bone and tissues are healthy. In other situations, a healing period of several weeks or months may be recommended to allow the extraction site to fully heal before implant placement. During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and treatment goals to determine the best timeline for achieving a stable, long-lasting result.
When can I return to my normal
routine post-oral surgery?
Many patients are able to return to work, school, or other normal activities within 24 to 48 hours after a routine procedure. However, recovery times can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and your individual healing process. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and other physically demanding activities may need to be postponed for several days to avoid complications such as increased swelling or bleeding. We will provide personalized recommendations based on your treatment and recovery progress.
Is oral
surgery expensive?
The cost of treatment depends on the type of procedure being performed and the complexity of your treatment needs. At Bolt Family Dental, we are committed to helping patients access the care they need by working with many dental insurance plans and offering financing options. Before treatment begins, our team will review your estimated costs, discuss available payment solutions, and help you maximize any applicable insurance benefits so you can make an informed decision about your care.
