What Happens During Oral Surgery — Step-by-Step
- 1
Initial consultation and imaging
30–45 minutesYour surgeon reviews your dental history, examines the tooth or lesion, and orders imaging (X-ray or 3D CBCT scan). This determines whether simple or surgical extraction is needed and identifies any nerve or sinus proximity. You'll discuss sedation options and recovery expectations.
- 2
Anaesthesia administration
10–15 minutesLocal anaesthesia is injected to numb the surgical area. If you've opted for sedation, IV sedation or general anaesthesia is administered and monitored throughout the procedure. You'll feel pressure but not pain.
- 3
Surgical removal of tooth or tissue
20–60 minutes (depends on complexity)The surgeon carefully extracts the tooth by creating an access flap, removing bone if necessary, and sectioning the tooth if impacted. For biopsies, tissue samples are taken for pathology analysis. The surgical site is irrigated to remove debris.
- 4
Closure and gauze placement
10–15 minutesThe surgical site is sutured with dissolvable or removable stitches. Gauze is packed into the socket to control bleeding. You'll be given post-operative instructions including pain management, activity restrictions, and signs of complications to watch for.
- 5
Recovery monitoring and discharge
30–60 minutes (recovery period)If sedated, you'll be monitored in recovery until fully alert. You'll receive a follow-up appointment (typically 7–10 days) to check healing, remove stitches, and address any concerns. Pain usually subsides within 3–5 days; full healing takes 7–14 days.
Am I a Good Candidate for Oral Surgery?
Good candidates
- Adults with impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, crowding, or recurrent infection who have been referred by their dentist
- Patients with a problematic tooth (severe decay, broken root, or failed treatment) that cannot be saved and requires extraction
- People with oral pathology (lesion, lump, or suspicious tissue) needing diagnostic biopsy or surgical removal
- Patients with jaw-related complaints (misalignment, pain, restricted opening) referred for surgical or corrective jaw procedures
May need extra assessment
- Patients with medical conditions (diabetes, blood clotting disorders, immunosuppression, or uncontrolled hypertension) require pre-operative clearance and may need modified surgical technique
- Smokers and heavy alcohol users may experience delayed healing and higher complication risk; surgeons often recommend quitting for 1–2 weeks before and after surgery
- Patients taking blood thinners (warfarin, apixaban) need consultation with their physician to determine if temporary cessation or modified anaesthesia is needed before surgery
