Frequently Asked Questions
What types of oral surgery procedures are performed at Julia Lee DDS?
Our practice offers a comprehensive range of oral surgery services including wisdom tooth removal, dental implant placement, bone grafting, and corrective jaw surgery. Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs using advanced technology to ensure safe and comfortable outcomes.
Will I be awake during my oral surgery procedure?
We offer several sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout your procedure, ranging from local anesthesia to IV sedation depending on the complexity of your surgery. Dr. Julia Lee will discuss all available options with you during your consultation so you can choose the level of comfort that is right for you.
How long is the recovery time after oral surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure. Simple extractions may require only a few days of rest, while more complex procedures such as bone grafting or corrective jaw surgery can require several weeks. Our team provides detailed post-operative care instructions and follows up with you to ensure a smooth recovery.
When should I consider getting my wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth often need to be removed when they are impacted, growing at an angle, causing crowding, or contributing to recurring pain and infection. Early evaluation is recommended, as younger patients typically experience easier recoveries. Dr. Lee will take X-rays to assess your wisdom teeth and advise you on the best course of action.
Does dental insurance cover oral surgery?
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for medically necessary oral surgery procedures such as extractions and certain implant-related treatments. Our front office team is happy to verify your benefits before your procedure and help you understand your estimated out-of-pocket costs. We also offer flexible payment options to make care accessible.
