Our team at Iconic Smiles is well-trained and excited to provide such important oral care to our patients.

- Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
- Dental implants for missing teeth, or to replace damaged or decayed teeth
- Jaw-related issues like TMJ disorders or alignment problems

Oral Surgery FAQ
How do I know if I need oral surgery?
A consultation with Dr. Avezoff will determine if surgery is the best option for your condition. Give us a call if you have concerns about your oral health!
What is the recovery time for oral surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery but typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks. We will always give clear instructions for your specific case so you can be prepared and informed.
What is the recovery period like?
A friend or family member will need to drive you home if your surgery requires certain levels of anesthesia. You’ll be given instructions as to what you can eat as you go through recovery. Due to every oral surgery being different, and every patient having distinct needs, instructions will vary. You will want to rest for a day or more after your surgery, stick to any medications you’re instructed to use, and keep your surgery site clean to help avoid infection.
Are there risks involved in oral surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, there are risks, but we take all necessary precautions to minimize them. We encourage you to bring up any concerns with Dr. Avezoff, such as allergies to medications, so we can make sure your surgery is safe and effective.
