What happens during oral surgery: Step-by-step
- 1
Consultation and imaging
15–30 minutesYour dentist assesses the tooth or lesion and may order CBCT (cone-beam CT) scans to map the exact position, root depth, and proximity to nerves. This determines whether you need simple or surgical extraction and guides anaesthesia choice.
- 2
Anaesthesia and sedation preparation
5–10 minutesIf choosing IV sedation or general anaesthesia, you'll be briefed on fasting and consent signed. Local anaesthetic is always applied—you will feel pressure and vibration, but not pain. Sedation options mean you may remember little to nothing of the procedure.
- 3
Tooth removal or lesion extraction
20–60 minutes (depending on complexity)The surgeon gently elevates and loosens the tooth using specialized instruments, taking care to preserve bone and avoid nerve damage. For impacted teeth, a small gum flap may be created and bone carefully removed to access the tooth. Lesions are extracted intact and sent to histology if a biopsy is needed.
- 4
Socket cleaning and suturing
10–15 minutesThe empty socket is irrigated to remove debris and bone fragments. If stitches are needed, dissolvable sutures are often placed to minimize follow-up. The surgeon may apply a haemostatic agent or bone graft material to reduce bleeding and support healing.
- 5
Recovery monitoring and discharge
30–60 minutes post-operativeYou'll rest for 30–60 minutes (longer if sedated). Staff will provide gauze, pain medication, and detailed aftercare instructions. A trusted adult must accompany you home if sedated. Dry socket prevention and infection warning signs are reviewed before you leave.
Am I a candidate for oral surgery?
Good candidates
- Patients with impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth causing pain, infections, or alignment problems
- Anyone with a severely fractured, decayed, or loose tooth that cannot be saved and needs extraction
- Patients with suspicious lumps, lesions, or cysts in the mouth requiring biopsy or removal
- Those with jaw pain, clicking, or asymmetry needing surgical correction (TMJ-related)
May need extra assessment
- Patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, or taking anticoagulants—your surgeon will assess bleeding risk and may request blood work or specialist clearance
- Pregnant women in the second or third trimester—emergency extractions proceed under local anaesthetic; elective surgery is postponed to postpartum
- Smokers or immunocompromised individuals—infection risk is higher; surgeon may recommend preoperative antibiotics and stricter aftercare
