Oral surgery can be a crucial step in restoring your oral health, alleviating pain, and preparing your mouth for future treatments. At Deller Smiles Dental Care & Orthodontics, our dentists provide gentle, precise oral surgery in a familiar setting so you can feel comfortable and informed at every visit.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures performed in and around the mouth and jaw to address conditions that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods. From removing impacted teeth to preparing the mouth for restorative treatments, oral surgery plays a vital role in maintaining oral function and long-term dental health.
We provide in-office surgical care in a familiar environment, minimizing the need for referrals and helping you stay comfortable every step of the way.
Our Oral Surgery Services
We offer a comprehensive selection of oral surgical treatments, including:
- Tooth Extractions – Removal of severely decayed, damaged, or non-restorable teeth to protect your oral health.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – Safe, precise extraction of impacted or partially erupted third molars to prevent crowding, infection, or pain.
- Surgical Extractions – For teeth that cannot be removed with simple methods, ensuring complete and gentle removal.
- Bone Grafting – Rebuilding jawbone structure to support future implants or restorations.
- All-on-4 & All-on-6 Implants – Full-arch restorations that replace an entire set of teeth with as few as four or six strategically placed implants, offering strength, stability, and a natural appearance.
- Dental Implant Placement – Surgically placing titanium posts that act as strong, stable foundations for replacement teeth.
- Frenectomies & Soft Tissue Procedures – Correcting issues such as tongue-tie or excessive gum tissue for better function and comfort.
What to Expect During Your Procedure?
Your comfort and safety are always our top priorities. Here’s how we ensure a smooth surgical experience:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a full exam and digital imaging to plan your procedure with accuracy and care.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Our dentists discuss your options, answer all questions, and outline each step so you know exactly what to expect.

Recovery and Aftercare
Healing time varies depending on the type of surgery, but most patients recover within a few days to a couple of weeks. Common recommendations include:
- Rest for the first 24–48 hours after surgery.
- Use ice packs to manage swelling.
- Eat soft foods and avoid straws to protect the surgical site.
- Take prescribed or over-the-counter medications as directed to manage discomfort.
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing gently and following post-op instructions.
Our team is available to answer questions throughout your recovery to ensure the healing process goes smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about what to expect from oral surgery at Deller Smiles Dental Care & Orthodontics? Here are answers to common questions patients ask before treatment.
Will I Be Awake During Oral Surgery?
Most procedures are completed using local anesthesia, so you are awake but comfortable and do not feel pain. For more complex cases, sedation options may be discussed with you in advance.
How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?
You may be asked to adjust certain medications, avoid eating or drinking for a specific period, or arrange a ride home if sedation is used. Our team will give you clear, written instructions before your visit.
Is Oral Surgery Safe If I Have Medical Conditions?
In many cases, yes. We review your full medical history, coordinate with your physician if needed, and take extra precautions to keep you safe throughout treatment.
How Do I Know If My Healing Is on Track?
Some swelling, soreness, and minor bruising are normal. If you experience increasing pain, fever, heavy bleeding, or anything that does not seem right, contact our office so we can evaluate you.
Do I Still Need Regular Dental Visits After Oral Surgery?
Yes. Routine checkups and cleanings remain important to maintain your overall oral health, protect your surgical results, and monitor the treated area over time.
