Will I need sedation?

Some patients do. Sedation choice depends on procedure complexity, medical history, and comfort needs.

Can grafting be done at the same time?

Yes, in many cases where ridge preservation is appropriate for future implant or prosthetic planning.

Many patients resume light routine activity within a short period, with restrictions adjusted to surgical complexity.

Wisdom Teeth / Bone Graft & Bone Augmentation / Anesthesia

Some teeth cannot be removed predictably with routine extraction methods due to impaction, root anatomy, fracture, or surrounding bone conditions.

Complex extraction techniques allow controlled removal while protecting adjacent teeth and soft tissue.

When replacement is planned, socket-preservation options may be discussed at the same visit.

A small-access approach is used to visualize and mobilize the tooth safely. Tooth sectioning may be used to reduce bone removal.

If indicated, graft material and membrane may be placed to preserve ridge volume for future restoration.

Postoperative instructions are provided for pain control, swelling management, and wound protection.

Impaction, dense bone coverage, root morphology, fracture pattern, and proximity to critical anatomy can all increase complexity.
