Frequently Asked Questions – Answered!
When it comes to more advanced dental procedures, seeing an oral surgeon is a great route to take. However, you likely have some unanswered questions, so we’re here to help. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we receive about oral surgery in Jupiter. If you don’t see the information that you’re looking for below, don’t hesitate to give us a call . We’d be more than happy to address your questions and/or concerns.
Why Should I Choose an Oral Surgeon?
General dentists are great for your routine cleanings and checkups, as well as some restorative treatments, like fillings and dental crowns. However, in certain scenarios, it is ideal to see an oral surgeon instead. Oral surgeons have special training to handle more complex procedures. A lot of the time, patients are referred by their general dentist to an oral surgeon if they need to have a dental implant placed, wisdom teeth extracted, corrective jaw surgery , or another more complex procedure.
What Level of Education Is Required to Become an Oral Surgeon?
To become a dentist in the United States, you must receive either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree from one of the 67 accredited dental schools in the USA. In order to be accepted into one of these dental skills, you must have a bachelor’s degree. Dental school usually takes three years to complete, and it consists of a combination of hands-on and classroom learning. After all of this, oral surgeons require an additional 3+ years of advanced training. To maintain your license to practice, dentists of all types have to complete a certain number of continuing education hours.
Should I See an Oral Surgeon for Wisdom Tooth Removal?
It is a good idea to see an oral surgeon if you are planning to have your wisdom teeth removed . Oral surgeons complete training that prepares them for even the most complex wisdom teeth extractions, so you know that you are in good hands. There is always the risk of complications with surgical procedures, and an oral surgeon is best equipped to handle them. If you tend to get anxious about dental procedures, this is another great reason to see an oral surgeon for your wisdom tooth extraction. Various sedation options are available to ensure that patients are as comfortable as possible in the chair.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Oral Surgery?
Dental insurance policies can vary significantly when it comes to different types of procedures. Depending on who your provider is and what procedure you are seeking, you might be eligible for coverage. During your consultation, we will be sure to go over all the financial details so that you don’t run into any surprises. If you have any questions about your plan and what’s covered, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our friendly team members .
