Oral Surgery — Precise Surgical Dental Care
Surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, cyst enucleation, and minor oral surgical procedures performed with precision by Dr. Apurva Chaturvedi, MDS Maxillofacial Prosthodontist & Implantologist.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Surgical precision for complex dental conditions that need more than routine treatment.
Oral surgery in dentistry encompasses surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, jaw bone, and surrounding oral structures. While most dental treatments are non-surgical, certain conditions require surgical intervention for proper treatment.
At The Crown, Dr. Apurva Chaturvedi performs a range of minor oral surgical procedures with the precision of a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist. From straightforward surgical extractions to complex wisdom tooth impaction removal, from cyst enucleation to bone grafting for implant preparation, every surgical procedure is planned with meticulous attention to safety, comfort, and recovery. We use sterile surgical protocols, appropriate anesthesia, and detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth healing.
Patient comfort and safety are our top priorities — every surgical case is assessed thoroughly, explained in detail, and performed with the highest standard of care. Celebrating 5 Years of Clinical Excellence, we have successfully performed thousands of surgical procedures with excellent outcomes. Whether you need a simple surgical extraction or a complex cyst removal, you can trust Dr. Apurva’s surgical expertise and our team’s commitment to your well-being throughout the entire treatment and recovery process.

When You May Need Oral Surgery
If you experience any of these conditions, oral surgery may be the right solution.
Wisdom Tooth Removal — Detailed Guide
Understanding impacted wisdom teeth, symptoms, and the surgical removal process.
Wisdom Tooth Impaction
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often lack sufficient space to erupt properly, leading to impaction — the tooth becomes trapped within the jawbone or gum tissue. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and even cysts or tumors. Removal is typically recommended to prevent these complications.
Types of Impaction
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Procedure Details
Local anesthesia administered for complete pain-free experience
Surgical access created — gum tissue gently reflected to expose tooth and bone
Bone removal if needed — precise removal of bone blocking tooth access
Tooth sectioning if needed — tooth divided for easier removal in sections
Extraction — tooth carefully removed with specialized instruments
Suturing — surgical site cleaned and closed with dissolvable sutures
The Oral Surgery Process
From initial assessment to post-operative follow-up — your complete surgical journey.
Consultation & Assessment
Examination, X-ray or CBCT imaging, medical history review, and treatment explanation with all options discussed.
Surgical Planning
Detailed procedure plan, anesthesia selection, risk assessment, and pre-operative instructions provided.
Pre-Surgical Preparation
Pre-medication if needed, fasting instructions, consent process, and final questions answered before surgery.
Surgical Procedure
Sterile protocol, anesthesia administered, precise surgical execution with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Post-Operative Care
Hemostasis (bleeding control), suturing, protective dressing, and detailed post-operative care instructions provided.
Follow-Up
Suture removal (if non-dissolvable), healing assessment, complications check, and long-term care guidance.
Simple vs Surgical Extraction
Understanding the difference helps you know what to expect.
| Feature | Simple Extraction | Surgical Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth Visibility | Fully visible in mouth | Broken, impacted, or below gum line |
| Procedure | Simple lifting and removal | Gum reflection, bone removal, possible sectioning |
| Anesthesia | Local anesthesia | Local anesthesia (sedation optional) |
| Duration | 5-15 minutes | 20-60 minutes per tooth |
| Sutures Needed | Usually no | Yes — dissolvable or removable |
| Recovery Time | 1-2 days | 3-7 days (swelling 48-72h) |
| Post-Op Care | Minimal | Detailed instructions, ice packs, soft diet |
Recovery & Aftercare
What to expect after oral surgery and how to ensure smooth, comfortable healing.
Immediate
Bleeding stops, swelling begins. Soft diet, ice packs, rest. Take prescribed medications.
Peak Swelling
Peak swelling, mild-moderate pain. Continue medication, soft diet, gentle activities only.
Improving
Swelling reduces, sutures begin dissolving. Gradually return to normal diet. Gentle brushing.
Healed
Complete healing of soft tissues. Normal function restored. Follow-up visit for assessment.
Detailed Aftercare Instructions
- Apply ice packs 20 min on/off for first 24 hours
- Soft diet for 3-5 days (soups, yogurt, smoothies)
- No smoking — smoking impairs healing
- No spitting or rinsing for first 24 hours
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Warm salt water rinses after 24 hours
- Avoid using straws for 48 hours
- Attend suture removal follow-up appointment
Benefits of Oral Surgery
Six key benefits of timely surgical dental treatment.
Resolves Pain
Eliminates the source of dental pain — impacted teeth, infections, and damaged teeth removed.
Prevents Complications
Removes problematic teeth before they cause infection, damage adjacent teeth, or form cysts.
Prepares for Implants
Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures create the foundation needed for successful implants.
Removes Pathology
Cyst enucleation and biopsy remove pathological lesions, preventing further bone destruction.
Restores Function
Frenectomy and other procedures restore normal tongue movement, speech, and eating function.
Improves Oral Health
Removes sources of infection and pathology, improving overall oral and systemic health.

I needed bone grafting before my dental implant. Dr. Apurva did a fantastic job. The healing was smooth and now my implant is perfectly placed. The team’s follow-up care was excellent throughout.
Oral Surgery FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about oral surgical procedures.
No, tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. You may experience mild discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, which is managed with prescribed pain medication.
A single wisdom tooth extraction typically takes 20-45 minutes depending on the impaction type. Full bony impactions take longer. Multiple wisdom teeth can be removed in one session, typically 45-90 minutes.
Bone grafting is a procedure that adds bone material to areas of the jaw that have lost bone volume. It is commonly performed to prepare the jaw for dental implants or to fill defects after cyst removal or tooth extraction.
Initial healing takes 1-2 weeks. Swelling peaks at 48-72 hours and subsides over a week. Sutures dissolve or are removed in 7-10 days. Complete bone healing takes several weeks to months depending on the procedure.
You can eat soft foods once the anesthesia wears off (2-3 hours). Stick to soft diet for 3-5 days — soups, yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes. Avoid hot, spicy, hard, and crunchy foods. Do not use a straw for 24 hours.
You can brush your teeth the day after surgery, but avoid the surgical site for 3-4 days. Gently rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours. Resume normal brushing after one week or as instructed by your dentist.
We use both absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures dissolve on their own in 7-14 days. Non-absorbable sutures are removed at your follow-up visit, typically 7 days after surgery.
Yes, oral surgery is very safe when performed by qualified specialists. Dr. Apurva Chaturvedi uses sterile surgical protocols, proper anesthesia, and detailed pre-operative assessment to minimize risks. Complications are rare.
Most oral surgical procedures are performed under local anesthesia — you will be awake but will not feel pain. For complex cases or anxious patients, sedation options can be discussed during your consultation.
Some swelling is normal after oral surgery and peaks at 48-72 hours. Apply ice packs 20 minutes on/off for the first 24 hours. If swelling increases significantly after 72 hours or is accompanied by fever, contact us immediately.
