Oral Surgery in Prescott Valley

Oral surgery includes dental procedures that cut into the tissues in your mouth, for example, your gums or jawbone. We offer wisdom teeth extractions, bone grafting, and sinus lifts to our patients who need oral surgery.

When you visit for your consultation, Drs. Seth and Zack Larson can determine whether or not you may need oral surgery.

The recovery period for oral surgery is relatively quick, but this may also depend on which procedure you receive. It’s a good rule of thumb to expect at least two days of rest and recovery before returning to a normal schedule.

It’s also important to know that although your recovery may be fast, the healing of the surgical area may take a bit longer. After your oral surgery, our team will provide you with a more accurate time frame on when you’ll likely be fully healed.

After oral surgery, there are certain activities and foods you should avoid to help make your healing process go smoothly. These things include:

• Avoid exercise within two to three days post-surgery
• Don’t eat any hot or hard foods. Instead, follow a soft food or liquid diet
• Resist from smoking and don’t consume alcohol
• Don’t use a straw to drink liquids

If you’re ever unsure whether or not you should do something, it’s always best to give our Prescott Valley office a quick call. We’re more than happy to help!

Generally, most dental insurance providers will cover oral surgery, especially tooth extractions. Some providers however only cover a portion of the costs, so it’s best to talk with your insurance before moving forward with treatment.

If you don’t have insurance, we work with a third-party financial company that works as a line of credit. You can receive oral surgery through CareCredit and pay for your treatment down the line.
