WHAT ARE MAXILLOFACIAL PROCEDURES?

While having teeth pulled is the most common dental surgery in North Vancouver, maxillofacial procedures also occur with relative frequency. A dentist specializing in these procedures focuses on most all problems with the tissues of the face, mouth, and jaws.

Many dentists can perform the more standard types of dental surgery in North Vancouver (such as tooth extractions or wisdom teeth removal), but complex or invasive surgeries or procedures require the work of a maxillofacial specialist. Dr. Ho offers an in-house oral sedation and IV sedation treatment. No matter the procedure, something to take into consideration is the possibility of sedation or anesthetics to help the operation run smoothly.

HOW LONG WILL SEDATION AFFECT ME FOLLOWING MY NORTH VANCOUVER DENTAL SURGERY?

If you have advanced tooth decay or an impacted wisdom tooth, you may require a doctor of dental surgery to have them safely extracted. Every dentist will tell you that each particular case and patient is different, yet it is not uncommon to be a candidate for sedation in order to make the procedure as quick and pain-free as possible. As any professional doctor of dental surgery in North Van can attest, we ensure that you will be sedated to the level most appropriate for your procedure. Depending on your particular situation, you could be completely “put under” do not recollect anything from your surgery or you could be given a local anesthetic to numb the immediate area of the procedure.

For a localized anesthetic, you can expect your tooth to be numb for up to two hours and your lips and tongue to be numb for up to five following the injection. Provided it is okay with your dentist, being active after your procedure will make that numbing feeling dissipate faster. You should consult your dentist well in advance to find out the specifics of your procedure so that you can plan your day accordingly.

While some people get nervous just thinking about dental surgery, there is no need to fret. As home to a top doctor of dental surgery in North Vancouver, Third Street Dental is here to make sure you are in the absolute best hands before, during, and after your oral surgery.
