What is oral surgery?

"Oral surgery" sounds bigger than it usually is. In practice it means procedures beyond a routine extraction: removing teeth that are broken at the gumline, impacted wisdom teeth, and surgical preparation before implants. Most of it happens in the same chair as your cleanings, with local anesthesia, in under an hour.

Every case starts with an exam and X-rays so we know the root shape, the bone, and where the nerves run before anything begins. We're equally clear about scope: procedures suited to an office setting we do here, and cases needing deeper sedation or hospital backup get referred to a trusted oral surgeon — you get our honest read on which yours is at the consultation. Patients come to us from Hackensack and Fort Lee for exactly that kind of straight assessment.

What we handle

  • Severely decayed or broken teeth
  • Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
  • Crowding before orthodontic treatment
  • Teeth affected by advanced gum disease
  • Pre-implant site planning
  • Post-extraction follow-up guidance

What to expect, step by step

We evaluate and image the tooth, numb the area thoroughly, remove the tooth carefully, and guide you through healing.

Evaluation

We examine the tooth and surrounding bone, then use X-rays to plan the safest approach.

Comfort-focused procedure

The area is numbed thoroughly, and the tooth is removed with a gentle, controlled technique.

Aftercare

You receive clear instructions for bleeding control, swelling, eating, cleaning, and comfort.

Replacement planning

If the tooth leaves a functional or cosmetic gap, we discuss options to restore it.

Cost, insurance, and financing

Surgical procedures are priced by complexity, and insurance usually contributes under oral surgery or restorative benefits — we verify your plan and give you the out-of-pocket number before scheduling. CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing with 0% interest options are available for larger cases; details on our financial information page.

Related treatment options

Straightforward removals are covered on our tooth extraction page. If surgery is preparing the way for a replacement tooth, the road continues at dental implants. And if you're in pain right now, start with emergency dental care — we hold time for urgent cases.

  • Thorough numbing and calm, step-by-step communication
  • X-ray-based wisdom tooth advice — removal only when warranted
  • Written aftercare targeting the complications that actually happen

Common Questions

Oral Surgery, answered.

How much does oral surgery cost?
It depends on the procedure: a surgical extraction typically runs $300–$800 in NJ, and impacted wisdom teeth more per tooth [owner to confirm ranges]. Insurance usually contributes under oral surgery or basic restorative benefits, and we verify your plan before scheduling. CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing cover the remainder in monthly payments if needed.
Do all wisdom teeth need to come out?
No — and a dentist who says otherwise without looking at your X-ray is guessing. Wisdom teeth that erupt fully, bite correctly, and can be cleaned are fine to keep. Removal is recommended when they're impacted, repeatedly infected, damaging the neighboring molar, or impossible to keep clean. A panoramic X-ray settles the question in one visit.
Am I awake during oral surgery?
For most procedures we perform in-office, yes — the area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia, and you feel pressure but not pain. Patients who are anxious should tell us up front; we pace the visit accordingly, and for cases needing deeper sedation or hospital-level complexity, we refer to a trusted oral surgeon rather than stretch beyond what's best done here.
How long is recovery after wisdom tooth removal?
Plan on two to three days of swelling and soreness, with most people back to work or school by day two or three. The peak of swelling is usually day two, not day one — that's normal, not a problem. Full healing of the sockets takes a few weeks. Follow the aftercare sheet, especially the no-smoking and no-straws rules, and recovery is usually uneventful.
What should I do after an extraction?
The first 72 hours protect the blood clot: bite on gauze as directed, no smoking, no straws, no vigorous rinsing, soft foods, and cold compresses for swelling. After that, gentle salt-water rinses keep the site clean while it closes. Call us for bleeding that won't stop, worsening pain after day three, or fever — those aren't wait-and-see symptoms.
