What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to a variety of surgical procedures performed in and around the mouth to address:

  • Tooth removal
  • Damage from trauma or injury
  • Infection or abscess
  • Preparation for restorations like dentures or implants
  • Structural concerns affecting bite or function

At Mizner Family Dental, Dr. Brandon Mizner provides surgical treatments with a focus on precision, minimal discomfort, and long-term oral health.

Oral Surgery Services We Offer

We provide several types of oral surgery in-house, including:

1. Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged by decay, trauma, or infection to be saved, we offer gentle extractions using local anesthesia and optional nitrous oxide sedation.

We also extract teeth for:

  • Preparation for dentures or bridges
  • Severe crowding
  • Orthodontic treatment
  • Failed root canal-treated teeth

2. Chipped or Cracked Tooth Repair

Dental trauma can happen suddenly. Whether it’s from a fall, sports injury, or biting something hard, we assess and treat cracked or chipped teeth promptly. Depending on the severity, we may recommend:

3. Abscess or Infection Management

Oral infections can spread quickly if not treated. We provide incision and drainage services when needed and offer follow-up treatment like root canals or restorative solutions to preserve or replace affected teeth.

4. Surgical Preparation for Dentures

If you are receiving full or partial dentures, surgical contouring or extractions may be necessary to ensure the best fit and comfort.

Answer text goes here

Is oral surgery painful?

No. We use local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. Mild discomfort or swelling after surgery is normal and typically resolves in a few days.

Will I be awake during the procedure?

Yes, unless you’re referred for IV sedation with a specialist. For added comfort, we offer nitrous oxide sedation during procedures performed in our office.

How long does healing take?

Most patients recover within 7–10 days depending on the type of procedure. We’ll give you specific aftercare guidelines based on your treatment.

What if I need a more complex surgery?

For impacted wisdom teeth, jaw surgery, or implant placement, we’ll refer you to a trusted oral surgeon and coordinate your care from start to finish.

What can I eat after surgery?

Stick to soft foods like soup, yogurt, eggs, and mashed potatoes for the first few days. Avoid hot, crunchy, or spicy foods until your mouth has healed.
