ORAL SURGERIES IN MCKINNEY, TX

WHAT IS ORAL SURGERY?

Oral surgery is any dental procedure that involves making an incision into the mouth or jaw to treat a problem, insert a tooth restoration, or adjust a person’s bite. This may be performed by a qualified dentist or a maxillofacial surgeon. 

Your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon if the procedure is outside of their specialty or if it is a complex case. Oral surgery can involve the extraction of teeth, the placement of dental implants, repairing dental trauma, shifting or reconstructing the jaw, treating myofascial pain, sleep apnea, or gum disease, or removing cysts.

To find out if you’re a good candidate for oral surgery, contact us at Experience Dental today to schedule a consultation with your dentist in McKinney.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR PREVENTIVE DENTAL APPOINTMENT

CONSULTATION

 You’ll come into Experience Dental for a consultation with Dr. Dennis Lee. He will perform a thorough oral exam and take x-rays to get a closer look at tooth roots, the jaw, and the position of your teeth to make a diagnosis.

TREATMENT PLANNING

After diagnosing the problem, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits into your schedule, budget, and goals.

ORAL SURGERY

You will return to Experience Dental for your procedure where we will administer local anesthesia to numb your mouth and may use additional sedation as necessary depending on the procedure. Dr. Lee will inform you how to prepare for your treatment.

AFTERCARE

You may have additional follow-up appointments. If you are receiving dental implants, for example, this involves multiple oral surgeries spread months apart. We may also just need to check that the surgery is successful. Your McKinney dentist will give you aftercare instructions.

DID YOU KNOW…

Alcohol interferes with healing so you should not consume alcohol within 24 hours of your oral surgery.
