What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a sector of dental procedures that focuses on the more intensive, surgical aspects of dentistry. It is used to treat a variety of diseases as well as orthodontic and structural problems in the mouth and jaw. At LA Dental Clinic, oral surgery encompasses gum procedures, wisdom tooth extractions, and bone grafting. Patients may also need oral surgery in conjunction with other treatments such as dental implants. Oral surgery can be reconstructive, orthodontic, or therapeutic in nature. It is a broad area of dentistry that addresses many different situations where non-surgical treatment is no longer sufficient.
Oral Surgery Procedures at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic performs three types of oral surgery in Los Angeles. All procedures are completed in-house and under sedation. Patients do not need to be referred to a separate surgical provider.
Gum Surgery
Gum surgery involves cutting into the gums to add or remove tissue. Gum grafts are performed when a patient needs additional gum tissue, and excess or diseased tissue is removed when necessary. Gum surgery is often required for patients with severe gum disease.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
LA Dental Clinic performs wisdom tooth extractions on recommendation or patient request. Some extractions are a clinical necessity, others are a preventative measure. Each case is assessed individually.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting adds bone or stimulates the body to grow new bone in areas of the jaw where bone has been lost due to disease or a missing tooth. It is commonly performed before dental implant placement where bone loss would otherwise prevent a stable implant.
Oral Surgery with Sedation
All oral surgery procedures at LA Dental Clinic are performed under sedation. Patients do not feel pain during the procedure. Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation are all available depending on the procedure and patient needs.
Benefits of Oral Surgery
Oral surgery at LA Dental Clinic focuses primarily on preventing future damage and repairing existing damage. The benefits depend on the specific procedure, but the underlying purpose of all three types of surgery offered is to protect the long-term health of the teeth, gums, and jaw.
- Prevent long-term damage to teeth, gums, and bone.
- Repair damage that has already occurred and cannot be addressed with non-surgical treatment.
- Regain full use of the mouth where infection, impaction, or bone loss has limited function.
- Prevent future infection before it becomes a more serious problem.
- Resolve existing conditions, including impacted teeth and advanced gum disease that has not responded to cleaning alone.
-
Prevent and repair bone loss in areas of the jaw where teeth are missing or where disease has caused deterioration.
Oral surgery can produce significant changes in oral health and quality of life. It can be performed for a range of reasons, from preventing a future problem to resolving an existing one. Whether the need is for preventative or corrective surgery, delaying oral surgery when it is indicated can result in infection and permanent damage to the teeth and gums.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Oral Surgery
What to expect depends on which procedure you are having. The following is a general overview based on the oral surgery services performed at LA Dental Clinic.
1
Before Your Procedure
LA Dental Clinic discusses the procedure, the sedation plan, and any preparation requirements with you in advance. This includes arranging for a responsible adult to drive you home if you will be receiving oral conscious sedation or IV sedation. Specific preparation instructions such as fasting requirements are confirmed before the appointment day.
2
During the Procedure
All oral surgery procedures at LA Dental Clinic are performed under sedation. You will not feel pain. In most cases, you will not be fully unconscious, but you will be relaxed and unaware of the procedure. The sedation level is appropriate to the specific surgery being performed. All procedures are completed in-house and do not exceed two hours.
3
Immediately After the Procedure
Some bleeding and swelling following oral surgery is normal. The extent varies depending on the procedure. Where necessary, your dentist will prescribe pain medication. Gauze or stitches may be present in the mouth after the surgery. Follow the post-operative instructions provided by LA Dental Clinic and do not attempt to remove gauze or stitches yourself.
4
Recovery and Diet
After oral surgery, eating solid food is difficult for a period of time. LA Dental Clinic recommends preparing soft food and liquids in advance of the procedure. Allow approximately a week of healing time before attempting solid foods. If stitches are present, your dentist may ask you to avoid solid food until they are removed. Swelling should reduce within one to three days after most procedures. Ice packs applied to the outside of the face can help manage swelling during the first day or two.
5
Discharge and Going Home
After your surgery, you are free to leave the dental office on the same day. If you have received general or IV anaesthetic, you will need a responsible adult to drive you and remain with you while the effects wear off. You cannot drive after being under general anaesthetic until it has cleared your system. LA Dental Clinic provides post-operative instructions at discharge.
What to Eat After Oral Surgery
Regardless of which procedure you have, certain foods should be avoided immediately after oral surgery. You do not need to restrict eating entirely, but chewing hard or solid food is not possible in the initial recovery period. LA Dental Clinic recommends preparing the following in advance so that meals are ready when you get home.
• Frozen yogurt, which also helps reduce swelling in the affected area.
• Yogurt.
• Smoothies.
• Broth or pureed soup.
• Juice.
• Applesauce.
• Pudding.
Allow approximately one week of healing time before returning to solid foods. This timeframe may be longer if stitches are present, in which case your dentist will advise when solid food is appropriate. Apply ice packs to areas of visible swelling. Swelling should reduce within one to three days after most oral surgery procedures. If swelling does not improve within this timeframe, contact LA Dental Clinic.

"I came in for a dental emergency and they took care of me day of! They were also so fast which I appreciate. The room had a tv, the staff were nice, and I will be coming back.

"Absolutely wonderful! I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and everyone made sure I got the treatment I needed without being judgemental or condescending about it. The hygienist is kind and talkative, and everyone was very cognizant of my needs and made sure I wasn't in pain. Dr. Nasiry is great, and I completely trust her with my teeth and their future care! (They are also very upfront and honest about pricing, which is very appreciated.)"
Stefanie W.
"Was in the Los Angeles area for business, and my veneer came off. Not only did they answer my call at 3am but got me into see a dentist in between their already booked schedule. Once I arrived I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and a clean waiting room. I was taken back by Jose, very nice and diligent tech and then I got to meet my dentist. Like an angel for my teeth. The doctor was friendly, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She got me fixed up and helped me find dentist back in phx to continue my care. I am making plans to travel back to Los Angeles to see LA Dental again! Amazing!"

"This is my first time here at LA Dental Clinic and I love how caring, relatable, professional, and knowledgeable Dr. Golara, Sara, Cynthia, and Gloria are. They let me know everything that is being done for my son's teeth. They were patience with him by ensuring that he understands what they are doing, the different instruments being used, how they are doing the x-rays, and etc. The office is very clean and they have parking, which is always a plus. Thank you for your help with my son and getting his perfect smile. The prices are very reasonable and not pressured into anything you do not feel comfortable doing. I highly recommend LA Dental Clinic to everyone."

"Dr. Azy, Jesus and Sara completely changed how I feel about my smile. I used to hide it and now I catch myself smiling more without even thinking. It feels so good to finally love it.
The composite bonding experience felt more like self care than a scary dental visit and that says everything. So grateful I found this place! They really helped me feel like myself again."

"My first visit at Dr. Nasiry was excellent. The staff was welcoming friendly and funny. They eased my nerves. Once I was seated they had music playing which was new but pleasant. The doctor was easy to talk to and she listen to all my concerns. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority. Ive had braces put it and I was terrified but they all helped me get through it. I have a favorite assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok and getting the best treatedment. This place is great and im glad I made the decision to make them my permanent dental family."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What oral surgery procedures does LA Dental Clinic perform?
LA Dental Clinic performs three types of oral surgery in Los Angeles: gum surgery (including gum grafts and removal of excess or diseased gum tissue), wisdom tooth extractions, and bone grafting. All three are performed in-house under sedation. Bone grafting is commonly performed in conjunction with dental implant treatment where bone loss would otherwise prevent a stable implant.
Will I be sedated for oral surgery?
Yes. All oral surgery procedures at LA Dental Clinic are performed under sedation. You will not feel pain during the procedure. In most cases, you will not be fully unconscious, but you will be relaxed and largely unaware of what is happening. The level of sedation is appropriate to the specific procedure. Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation are all available at LA Dental Clinic. The sedation option is discussed and agreed upon before the day of the procedure.
How long do oral surgery procedures take at LA Dental Clinic?
All oral surgery procedures at LA Dental Clinic are completed within a single appointment and do not exceed two hours. The exact duration depends on the specific procedure and its complexity. Wisdom tooth extractions, bone grafting, and gum surgery are all in-house procedures that do not require an overnight stay or a referral to an outside surgical facility.
Will I be able to go home the same day?
Yes. After your surgery, you are free to leave the dental office on the same day. If you have received general or IV anaesthetic, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you while the effects wear off. You cannot drive after being under general anaesthetic until it has cleared your system. Post-operative instructions are provided at discharge and your dentist will confirm any specific restrictions based on your procedure.
What can I eat after oral surgery?
Following oral surgery, eating solid food is not possible immediately. LA Dental Clinic recommends preparing soft food and liquids in advance of the procedure so that meals are ready when you get home. Recommended options include frozen yogurt, yogurt, smoothies, broth or pureed soup, juice, applesauce, and pudding. Allow approximately one week of healing time before returning to solid foods. If stitches are in place, your dentist will advise when it is appropriate to progress to solid food.
Is oral surgery painful?
Not during the procedure. All oral surgery at LA Dental Clinic is performed under sedation, and local anaesthetic is used to numb the treatment area. After the procedure, some soreness, swelling, and minor bleeding are normal. The extent of post-operative discomfort depends on the specific surgery. Where necessary, LA Dental Clinic prescribes pain medication to manage discomfort during the recovery period. Ice packs applied to the outside of the face can also help reduce swelling in the first day or two.
Should I delay oral surgery if I am not in pain?
No. Many oral surgery situations, including impacted wisdom teeth and early-stage bone loss, do not cause significant pain until the condition has already progressed. Delaying oral surgery when it is clinically indicated can result in infection, further bone loss, or damage to adjacent teeth that would have been preventable. If LA Dental Clinic has recommended a surgical procedure, it is based on a clinical assessment of what is happening in your mouth, not on whether you are currently experiencing discomfort.
Can I schedule oral surgery around a specific timeline or work commitments?
Yes. Because all procedures at LA Dental Clinic are completed in a single appointment and patients go home the same day, it is possible to plan surgery around work and personal commitments. Most patients require a few days of recovery time depending on the procedure, and soft foods are needed for approximately a week. LA Dental Clinic can discuss the expected recovery for your specific procedure during the consultation so you can plan accordingly.
