What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery encompasses specialized procedures designed to treat diseases, injuries, and defects in the teeth, mouth, jaws, and face. From simple extractions to complex reconstructive procedures, oral surgery helps restore function, alleviate discomfort, and protect your long-term dental health. Common oral surgery services at Connecticut Surgical Arts include dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, extractions, biopsies, and treatment for facial trauma.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Oral Surgery?
If you are experiencing dental pain, have missing or damaged teeth, or have suffered an injury to your mouth or face, you may be a good candidate for oral surgery. Dr. Martin and Dr. Congiusta will assess your needs and create a treatment plan that is safe, effective, and tailored to you.
What Do I Need To Do Before Oral Surgery?
Before your procedure, you’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include fasting guidelines, medication adjustments, arranging transportation, and planning your recovery time.
How Long Does Oral Surgery Take?
The length of your surgery will vary based on your specific treatment. Simple extractions may take less than an hour, while more complex procedures, like dental implant placement or facial trauma repairs, may require more time. Your doctors will explain what to expect during your consultation.
What to Expect After Oral Surgery
Your recovery will depend on the type of procedure performed. Most patients experience mild swelling or discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and at-home care. Many people return to normal activities within a few days to a week.
Will I Have Scars After Oral Surgery?
Most oral surgeries are performed inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars. For facial trauma repairs that require external incisions, Dr. Martin and Dr. Congiusta use advanced techniques to ensure scars are as minimal and discreet as possible.
When Will I See The Results?
Many patients feel immediate relief from pain or infection after their procedure. Some treatments, such as dental implants, may take a few months to fully complete as the implant integrates with the jawbone.
How Long Will the Results of Oral Surgery Last?
Oral surgery provides lasting results when combined with good oral hygiene and routine dental care. For example, dental implants can last many years or even a lifetime with proper maintenance.
