Oral Surgery

How much blood will I lose during an oral surgery procedure?

While it is difficult to measure the amount of blood lost because dentists use a suction pipe, there are predictive guidelines on how much blood loss does each procedure cause. It is thus extremely important that you discuss your prevailing health issues like high blood pressure and blood sugar, with your dentist before you opt for an oral surgery, if not this can be dangerous during the procedure.

How many visits will a complete oral surgery take?

This purely depends on the procedure, if it is a tooth extraction it can be achieved in one sitting for most cases, however if the procedure is far more complex like a jawbone graft, this may need multiple sittings. Not knowing usually causes anxiety, so always discuss your surgery with your dentist and gather as much information as you can on the process and healing.
