Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

rHow Does Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Work?

Before you receive any omf surgery, your surgeon will do an extensive diagnostic consultation where they fully inspect your teeth, mouth, and jaw. During this appointment, you might have a range of scans and x-rays performed. The goal of this appointment is for the Florida oral maxillofacial surgery specialists to determine your exact issue and come up with a solution.

If you require surgery, then you will book a specific date and time and return to the clinic. Most maxillofacial surgery is performed under general anesthetic and these procedures can range from simple to complex. Your surgeon will be able to explain exactly what they need to do and what your recovery time will be. 

Is Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Painful?

Oral maxillofacial surgeries can cause significant pain during the recovery phase. During the operation, you won’t experience any pain or discomfort as you will be under a general anesthetic. Pain can last for a few days or up to a few weeks after your surgery.

If you are getting your tooth removed then you may experience pain for up to 1 week. A dental implant or bone graft are more in-depth procedures that can cause pain for a maximum of 2 weeks.

How Much Does Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Cost?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery cost has a significant range depending on the type of operation you need. A simple tooth extraction costs as little as $200, while extensive jaw surgery could cost $10,000 or more.
