Doctor David Klucznik Talks about Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is the way we, for one, get the dental implant in place, be able to replace those teeth that are already missing, but if you have teeth that are in need of being removed or taken care of, as far as like infections and things like that, it's a great way to get those teeth out and get you back healthy again and get those infections so they don't start to branch out and become a more systemic issue for you or, you know, affect uncontrolled, you know, health issues like diabetes and things like that. It really helps us get where we need to go in managing those teeth that we can't keep anymore and we need to move on to some other options.

Encourage Healing With Laser Technology

Advanced technology helps us deliver perform dental surgery that's more comfortable and precise. We use a diode laser for soft tissue procedures. It offers numerous benefits:

  • Minimally Invasive Techniques - The diode laser allows us to remove or reshape soft tissue with minimal trauma.
  • Less Bleeding - Laser energy cauterizes tissue as it works, reducing bleeding and reducing inflammatory response.
  • Faster Healing - You can expect less post-op discomfort and a quicker recovery.
  • More Precise Treatment - This focused beam gives your dentist better control in delicate areas.

There's no need to feel nervous about a surgical procedure. We can offer you sedation to help you feel at ease. Your comfort is our utmost priority.

Find the Care You Need for a Healthy Smile

We approach oral surgery with a blend of clinical expertise and personal care. Using modern imaging and laser technology, we can perform some surgical treatments in-house. We offer:

  • Tooth Extractions - We provide gentle extractions for damaged, infected, or non-restorable teeth. We'll use local anesthetic and comfort techniques to make the process as smooth as possible.
  • Bone Grafting - If bone has been lost due to infection, injury, or tooth loss, grafting helps rebuild your jaw's structure. It's sometimes needed to prepare you for future dental implants or other restorations. Your dentist typically performs a graft following extraction to preserve the surgical site and avoid bone loss during healing. This helps ensure a positive outcome for your tooth replacement.

Don't visit an outside oral surgeon for these treatments. Come to our practice for oral surgery in Goldsboro instead.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery

Will oral surgery hurt?

We take every step to make sure you're comfortable. We use a local anesthetic to numb your mouth. We also offer nitrous or oral sedation if you feel nervous. You may feel some pressure, but you won't feel pain. Afterward, we'll guide you through home care and provide tips to manage any discomfort as you heal.

Will I be awake during oral surgery?
Yes, but you'll be completely numb in the area we're working on. We offer sedation options to help you feel calm and relaxed. If you're anxious or prefer extra comfort, we can also provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation to reduce stress during your visit. You'll still be conscious and able to respond, but you'll feel more at ease throughout the process.
How long is recovery after oral surgery?
Recovery time depends on the procedure, but you'll start to feel better within 24 to 72 hours. We'll give you detailed aftercare instructions and check in if needed. If your procedure involves bone grafting, full healing may take several weeks. The good news: with the right support, you'll recover smoothly and with minimal discomfort.
