What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery is a branch of dentistry that involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Oral surgeons are dental specialists who have completed additional training and education to perform a wide range of surgical procedures, including tooth extractions, dental implant placement, bone grafting, and corrective jaw surgery. At Briggs Family Dental, Dr. Briggs and our team offer a variety of oral surgery services to help our patients achieve optimal oral health and function.

At Briggs Family Dental, we offer a range of oral surgery procedures to meet the diverse needs of our patients, including:


  • Tooth extractions: We perform simple and complex tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth removal, to address issues such as severe decay, crowding, or impaction.
  • Dental implant placement: We surgically place titanium implants into the jawbone to replace missing teeth and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
  • Bone grafting: We use bone grafting techniques to restore lost jawbone density, often in preparation for dental implant placement or to address periodontal disease.
  • Pre-prosthetic surgery: We perform surgical procedures to prepare the mouth for dentures, such as removing excess bone or gum tissue to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
  • Corrective jaw surgery: We work closely with orthodontists to perform corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) to address misaligned jaws and improve bite function. Dr. Briggs and our team will work with you to determine the most appropriate oral surgery procedure for your specific needs and goals.

The specific details of your oral surgery procedure will depend on the type of treatment you’re receiving. However, most oral surgery procedures at Briggs Family Dental will involve the following steps:


  • Anesthesia: Dr. Briggs will administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area and ensure your comfort during the procedure. In some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used for more complex procedures or to help patients with dental anxiety relax.
  • Surgical procedure: Dr. Briggs will perform the necessary surgical steps, such as making incisions, removing teeth or tissue, placing implants, or grafting bone material. Our team will monitor your vital signs and comfort level throughout the procedure.
  • Closure: Once the surgical procedure is complete, Dr. Briggs will close any incisions with sutures (stitches) and place gauze over the treatment area to control bleeding.
  • Recovery: After the procedure, you’ll be given detailed post-operative instructions to help manage discomfort, swelling, and bleeding. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure a successful recovery. Throughout the process, our team at Briggs Family Dental will be here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide the support you need for a comfortable and successful oral surgery experience.

The recovery time after oral surgery varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. In general, most patients can expect to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bleeding for the first few days after surgery. These symptoms can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, and rest. Here are some general recovery guidelines for common oral surgery procedures:


  • Tooth extractions: Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, but it may take 1-2 weeks for the extraction site to heal completely.
  • Dental implant placement: The initial healing period for dental implants is typically 1-2 weeks, but it can take several months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone before a permanent crown can be placed.
  • Bone grafting: Recovery from bone grafting procedures usually takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the extent of the grafting and the patient’s individual healing process. Dr. Briggs and our team will provide you with specific post-operative instructions and guidance to help you manage your recovery and promote optimal healing.

At Briggs Family Dental, we prioritize our patients’ comfort and use advanced techniques and anesthesia to minimize pain during oral surgery procedures. During the procedure itself, you should feel little to no pain, as the treatment area will be numbed with local anesthesia. In some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used to help you relax and ensure a pain-free experience. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and soreness as your body heals. Dr. Briggs will prescribe pain medications or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to help manage your discomfort during the recovery process. If you experience severe or persistent pain after your oral surgery, please contact our office right away so we can assess the issue and provide appropriate care.

The cost of oral surgery varies depending on the specific procedure, the complexity of your case, and your dental insurance coverage. At Briggs Family Dental, we believe in transparent pricing and will provide you with a detailed cost estimate during your initial consultation. We also offer flexible financing options, such as CareCredit, to help make your oral surgery treatment more affordable. Our knowledgeable team will work with you to maximize any available insurance benefits and find a payment plan that fits your budget. Don’t let concerns about cost prevent you from receiving the care you need – contact Briggs Family Dental today to discuss your oral surgery options and financial solutions.

Coverage for oral surgery procedures varies depending on your specific dental insurance plan. Many plans cover at least a portion of the cost of medically necessary oral surgery procedures, such as tooth extractions, dental implant placement, or bone grafting. However, some procedures, such as cosmetic or elective treatments, may not be covered. At Briggs Family Dental, our experienced team will work with you to understand your insurance benefits and maximize any available coverage. We’ll also provide you with a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options to help make your oral surgery treatment as affordable as possible.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with oral surgery. However, at Briggs Family Dental, Dr. Briggs and our team use the latest techniques and technology to minimize these risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Some potential risks of oral surgery include:


  • Infection: There is a small risk of infection after oral surgery, but this can usually be prevented with proper post-operative care and antibiotics, if necessary.
  • Bleeding: Some bleeding is normal after oral surgery, but excessive or prolonged bleeding may indicate a complication that requires additional treatment.
  • Nerve damage: In rare cases, oral surgery procedures near nerves, such as wisdom tooth extraction or dental implant placement, may cause temporary or permanent nerve damage, resulting in numbness, tingling, or altered sensation in the lips, tongue, or chin.
  • Sinus complications: Oral surgery procedures in the upper jaw, such as dental implant placement, may cause damage to the sinuses, leading to inflammation or infection. Dr. Briggs will discuss the specific risks associated with your oral surgery procedure during your initial consultation and take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure your safety.

Proper preparation is essential for a successful oral surgery experience. Here are some general guidelines to help you prepare for your procedure:

  • Follow pre-operative instructions: Dr. Briggs will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for your surgery, such as fasting requirements, medication adjustments, and arranging for transportation. Be sure to follow these instructions closely.
  • Discuss your medical history: Inform Dr. Briggs of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you take, as these may affect your surgery or recovery.
  • Quit smoking: If you smoke, try to quit or reduce your smoking habits before your surgery, as smoking can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
  • Plan for recovery: Arrange for time off work or school, and prepare a comfortable recovery area at home with essential items like extra pillows, ice packs, and soft foods.
  • Ask questions: If you have any concerns or questions about your upcoming oral surgery, don’t hesitate to ask Dr. Briggs or our team at Briggs Family Dental. We’re here to provide the information and support you need for a successful procedure and recovery.

When choosing an oral surgeon, it’s essential to look for a provider with the experience, expertise, and compassion to deliver the best possible care. At Briggs Family Dental, Dr. Spenser Briggs is a skilled and experienced oral surgeon who is dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal oral health and function. Here are some factors to consider when choosing an oral surgeon: – Education and training: Look for a surgeon who has completed advanced training in oral and maxillofacial surgery and stays up-to-date with the latest techniques and technologies. – Experience: Choose a surgeon who has extensive experience performing the specific procedure you need, such as wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, or bone grafting. – Patient reviews and testimonials: Read reviews and testimonials from previous patients to get a sense of the surgeon’s bedside manner, communication skills, and treatment outcomes. – Technology and facilities: Select a practice that invests in advanced technology and maintains a clean, modern, and well-equipped surgical facility to ensure your safety and comfort. – Comprehensive care: Choose a practice that offers a full range of oral surgery services and works collaboratively with your general dentist and other specialists to provide comprehensive, coordinated care. At Briggs Family Dental, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional, patient-centered care in a comfortable and supportive environment. If you’re considering oral surgery, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Briggs to discuss your needs and learn more about our services.
