Frequently Asked Questions
What is minor oral surgery and what does it involve?
Minor oral surgery refers to dental surgical procedures performed in a clinic setting, typically under local anaesthetic. Common procedures include tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth), dental implant placement, and other minor surgical interventions to restore oral health. At Eastern Dental Group in Wantirna South, minor oral surgery is carried out by an experienced oral surgery team using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology.
When is minor oral surgery necessary?
Minor oral surgery may be necessary when a tooth cannot be saved through conventional treatment, when wisdom teeth are impacted or causing pain, or when dental implants are being placed. Your dentist will assess your individual situation during a consultation and recommend surgery only when it is the most appropriate course of action.
Is minor oral surgery painful?
Minor oral surgery at Eastern Dental Group is performed with patient comfort as the top priority. Local anaesthetic is used to minimise pain during the procedure, and the team takes care to ensure patients feel confident and well-informed before, during, and after their procedure. Post-operative discomfort is normal and typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief as directed by your dentist.
What is the recovery time after minor oral surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Most patients recover from simple tooth extractions within a few days, while more involved procedures such as wisdom tooth removal or implant placement may require one to two weeks for full healing. Your dentist will provide specific post-operative care instructions to support a smooth recovery.
What should I do to prepare for minor oral surgery?
Before your procedure, you will have an initial consultation where your dentist will review your dental and medical history, explain the procedure, and answer any questions. You may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for a period beforehand if sedation is involved, and to arrange transport home if you are receiving any form of sedation. Follow all pre-operative instructions provided by your care team.
Does Eastern Dental Group offer wisdom teeth removal?
Yes. Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the minor oral surgery procedures offered at Eastern Dental Group in Wantirna South. The team is experienced in managing impacted and problematic wisdom teeth, and will guide patients through the process from initial assessment to post-operative care.
Is minor oral surgery covered by health insurance in Australia?
Many private health insurance policies with extras cover include some level of benefit for oral surgery procedures such as tooth extractions. Coverage varies depending on your insurer and level of cover. Eastern Dental Group recommends contacting your health fund prior to your appointment to confirm your entitlements. The team can also assist with health fund claims at the practice.
How do I know if I need a tooth extraction or if the tooth can be saved?
Your dentist will assess the condition of the tooth through a clinical examination and X-rays. Extractions are generally recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, fractured beyond repair, causing infection, or when there is insufficient space (as with impacted wisdom teeth). Where possible, tooth-saving options such as root canal therapy are explored before extraction is considered.
What aftercare is recommended following minor oral surgery?
After minor oral surgery, patients are generally advised to rest for the remainder of the day, avoid hard or hot foods, refrain from smoking, and keep the area clean without disturbing the surgical site. Your dentist at Eastern Dental Group will provide tailored post-operative care instructions based on the procedure performed. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to monitor healing.
