Oral Surgery Without the Anxiety

For many people, the words oral surgery bring on a wave of nerves. Fear of dental work is one of the most common reasons people put off care, even when a tooth is causing real pain or trouble eating. The reassuring truth is that most oral surgery today is routine, well understood, and far gentler than it was a generation ago. Knowing what to expect, and choosing a calm and caring dental office, takes much of the worry out of the experience.

At DG Dental in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Green performs a range of oral surgery procedures in a relaxed, upscale setting built around adult patients. As part of our full menu of dental services, she handles many surgical treatments in house and refers more involved cases to a trusted oral surgeon when that is the safest path for you. Every plan begins with a conversation about your goals, your health history, and the options that match your comfort level.

Types of Oral Surgery We Offer

Oral surgery covers any procedure that treats the teeth, gums, or jaw through a surgical approach rather than a routine filling or cleaning. The goal is almost always to relieve pain, remove a tooth that cannot be restored, or prepare the mouth for a healthy replacement. Before any treatment, Dr. Green examines your mouth and reviews a digital x-ray so the two of you can agree on a plan together. The procedures we handle most often include the following.

Tooth extractions for teeth damaged by decay, infection, or trauma that cannot be restored.
Wisdom teeth removal when third molars are impacted, crowded, or causing pain.
Bone grafting that rebuilds the jaw and prepares it for dental implants.

When a tooth can be saved instead of removed, Dr. Green always explores that route first, including options such as root canal therapy and other restorative dentistry treatments.

Holistic Approach to Dental Care

Comprehensive dental care that treats the whole person, focusing on natural health and wellness integration.

Preparing for and Recovering From Your Procedure

Good preparation makes oral surgery smoother, and most of the steps are simple. During your pre-op visit, you will review the procedure with Dr. Green, including any test results and what to expect on the day. Depending on the type of sedation planned, you may be asked to stop eating or drinking for a set number of hours beforehand and to arrange a ride home afterward. It also helps to tell our team about any change in your health, such as a cold, fever, or sore throat, before your appointment.

Recovery looks different for everyone, though most simple extractions heal within a few days while larger procedures take longer. The American Dental Association explains what to expect after a tooth extraction, including resting, avoiding straws for a day, and rinsing gently. Dr. Green will walk you through your own recovery timeline, cleaning instructions, and any foods to avoid and for how long.

Smile with Ease

Oral surgery sometimes requires the removal of a tooth, which can cause issues like teeth spacing or affect your chewing abilities. But you don’t have to settle for a smile that makes you feel anything less than sublime.

To avoid these complications, each case is addressed by a multidisciplinary team of oral surgeons and cosmetic dentists that offers guidance and advice on cosmetic replacement options, including beautiful [implants] that look and feel as amazing as your real teeth.

Benefits of Oral Surgery at DG Dental

Comfortable Recovery

Numbness after a procedure can affect speech, eating, and your day, so Dr. Green walks every patient through clear aftercare guidance to help you get back to your normal routine as comfortably as possible.

Biocompatibility Lab Testing

For patients with sensitivities, DG Dental offers biocompatibility lab testing to help identify materials that work well with your individual chemistry before any procedure begins.

Digital Precision

Digital scans, used much more often than traditional impressions, give Dr. Green a precise, detailed view of your teeth and jaw to support more accurate treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Oral Surgery Painful

Modern anesthetic keeps you comfortable during the procedure, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and manageable with the care plan Dr. Green provides.

Will I Be Put to Sleep for Oral Surgery

Most procedures at DG Dental use a local anesthetic along with nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation, which keep you calm and comfortable without general anesthesia.

How Long Does Recovery Take

Simple extractions often heal within a few days, while procedures such as bone grafting can take several weeks, and Dr. Green will give you a timeline for your case.

When Does a Tooth Need to Be Removed Instead of Saved

A tooth may need removal when decay, infection, or damage is too advanced to restore, though Dr. Green explores every option to save it first.

Does Insurance Cover Oral Surgery

Many dental plans cover at least part of the cost, DG Dental accepts all major PPOs, and financing options are available for patients without coverage.
