Frequently Asked Questions
Most procedures at our office are performed under local anesthesia so you remain awake but completely comfortable. We discuss all sedation and anesthesia options during your consultation.
Most patients recover from a simple extraction within 3-5 days. Wisdom tooth removal may require 5-7 days of recovery. We provide detailed post-operative instructions to minimize discomfort and promote healing.
We recommend soft foods like yogurt, soup, smoothies, and mashed potatoes for the first few days after surgery. Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods until the area has healed.
