Oral Surgery Procedure
information from the Atlanta Dental Group PC
The
surgery
patient is seated and completely numbed before the oral surgery procedure is started. It's important to wait and allow the numbness
to sink in fully. The dentist checks the depth of the anaesthesia
by making a small incision around the tooth. Once it is confirmed
that the patient is completely numb the incision is lengthened
and the gum tissue is gently pulled away from the tooth. If any
of the surrounding bone is in the way, it is then removed.
If
needed, the tooth is then gently sectioned into pieces and the
pieces are removed. If needed, sutures are placed so that the
gum tissue lays back into place correctly. The
dentists at the Atlanta
Dental Group PC believe that most oral
surgery patients should be placed on antibiotics
after any oral surgery
procedure, especially after wisdom
tooth removal. All patients are then seen post operatively one
week after their surgery and there is no additional fee for this visit if it's
just to check the surgery site.
If
you need oral surgery, please consider making a consultation appointment
with Dr. Padolsky
by calling 404-874-7428.
