1. Is dento-alveolar surgery painful?
No. Procedures are done under anesthesia, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward.
2. How long does recovery take?
Most patients heal within 3–7 days, depending on the procedure.
3. Do I need a CBCT scan before surgery?
For impacted teeth or cystic lesions, CBCT provides essential 3D information for accurate surgery.
4. Will there be swelling?
Minor swelling is normal and usually resolves within 48–72 hours.
5. Can these surgeries improve denture fit?
Yes. Pre-prosthetic surgeries like alveoloplasty improve denture comfort and stability.
6. Are stitches required?
Some procedures require dissolvable sutures; others may need removal after a week.
7. Can I return to work the next day?
For simple extractions, yes. For complex procedures, 1–2 days of rest may be recommended.
