What Is Oral Surgery?
“Oral surgery” sounds intimidating, but it’s really just an umbrella term for any procedure that goes beyond routine dental work — think tooth removal, jawbone treatments, and procedures that prepare your mouth for restorations like implants. Officially known as oral and maxillofacial surgery, it covers the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures of the face.
Most patients who need oral surgery aren’t dealing with anything rare or scary. Common reasons people search for an oral surgeon in North Miami Beach include:
- A wisdom tooth that’s impacted, painful, or causing crowding
- A tooth that’s too broken, decayed, or infected to save
- Bone loss that needs to be addressed before getting a dental implant
- Chronic jaw pain, infection, or swelling that hasn’t resolved
- A dentist recommending extraction to protect the health of nearby teeth
Signs You Might Need Oral Surgery
Not sure if what you’re feeling is “normal” or something to get checked out? Here are signs you need a tooth pulled or evaluated for oral surgery:
- Persistent pain in the back of your jaw (a classic sign of impacted wisdom teeth)
- Swelling, tenderness, or bad breath around a specific tooth
- A tooth that’s cracked, broken below the gumline, or won’t stop hurting
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully or pain when chewing
- Recurring infections in the same spot, even after antibiotics
If any of this sounds familiar, don’t wait it out. Call 305-945-0909, and we’ll help you figure out the fastest path to relief.
Our Oral Surgery Services
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes saving a tooth just isn’t possible — and that’s okay. We offer both simple tooth extractions (for teeth that are visible and easy to access) and surgical extractions (for teeth that are impacted, broken at the gumline, or otherwise more complex), including wisdom teeth removal. Many patients search “wisdom teeth removal near me” once the pain starts, and we make same-week appointments available whenever possible.
Bone Grafting
Thinking about dental implants but worried your jawbone isn’t dense enough to support one? Bone grafting before dental implants is a common, well-established solution. We rebuild the strength of your jawbone using your own bone, donor bone, or a synthetic graft material — whichever option fits your health history and goals.
Sinus Augmentation (Sinus Lift)
If you’re missing upper back teeth and considering implants, you may need a sinus lift for dental implants first. This procedure gently raises the sinus floor and adds bone where it’s needed, giving your implant a stable, lasting foundation.
Is Oral Surgery Painful? What to Expect
This is, by far, the most common question we hear — and the honest answer is: most patients feel far less discomfort than they expect. Before any procedure, we numb the area completely with local anesthetic, and we offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety or more involved proce
dures. You’ll feel pressure, not pain, during the surgery itself.
Here’s what a typical visit looks like:
- Consultation & Digital X-rays: We evaluate your tooth, jaw, and overall oral health
- Discussing Your Options: Including sedation, cost, and financing
- The Procedure: Completed in-office, usually in under an hour for most extractions
- Recovery Instructions: Sent home with clear, simple aftercare steps
Recovery: What to Eat and Expect After Oral Surgery
Recovery time after tooth extraction is usually shorter than people assume. Most patients feel back to normal within a few days to a week, depending on the procedure. A few tips to heal faster and more comfortably:
- Stick to soft foods for the first 24–48 hours — think mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies (skip the straw, which can disrupt healing)
- Use a cold compress on your cheek to reduce swelling
- Avoid smoking and alcohol while you heal
- Take any prescribed or recommended pain medication as directed
- Keep the area clean, but avoid vigorous rinsing for the first day
If you’re ever unsure whether what you’re feeling during recovery is normal, call us at 305-945-0909 — we’d rather answer a quick question than have you worry unnecessarily.
What Does Oral Surgery Cost?
Cost depends entirely on the procedure — a simple extraction costs less than a surgical wisdom tooth removal or bone graft. What we can promise is transparency: after your consultation, we’ll walk you through a clear cost breakdown before any work begins, and help you understand your insurance benefits. We also offer financing through CareCredit and in-house payment plans, so an unexpected dental issue doesn’t have to become a financial emergency.
