Frequently Asked Questions About Dentoalveolar Surgery

How does the oral surgeon determine whether patients need this procedure?

Together with your dentist or orthodontist, our doctors will thoroughly examine the mouth and take additional diagnostic images as needed to determine what procedures you will need. Our CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanner provides a 3-D model of the entire mouth area, allowing him to check the gum and bone anatomy.

Why would a patient need gum surgery before getting new dentures?

Excess gum tissue may build up in folds after patients have worn dentures for a long time or when the dentures don’t fit properly. The oral surgeon will remove this unneeded tissue to create a smooth fit for the new dentures.

What should I expect during the consultation?

During your consultation, we’ll perform a thorough examination, review imaging, and discuss your symptoms and goals. A personalized treatment plan will then be created for you.

Is dentoalveolar surgery uncomfortable?

Every patient is different and has a different level of apprehension in a surgical setting. Local anesthesia is effective in eliminating pain; however, some patients prefer to have sedation so they can sleep through the procedure. The gums may take a few weeks to heal, while the bone underneath may take longer. The oral surgeon will prescribe appropriate medication and discuss helpful post-surgical instructions.

How long does it take to recover from dentoalveolar surgery?

Typically, it takes about 10 days to two weeks for extraction sites to heal. The underlying bone may take several months to heal enough to place a conventional denture, partial denture, bridge, or implant.

Will I need additional treatments after surgery?

Some cases may require follow-up or complementary treatments, such as orthodontic care or prosthetics like dentures. We’ll coordinate with your dentist as needed.

Are these surgeries covered by insurance?

Many dentoalveolar procedures are partially or fully covered by dental insurance. Our office team can assist you in navigating your coverage and benefits.

I’m not a patient at the center, but the help I have received from them is beyond words. I’m here at UCDavis to help my niece (19 year old international student) with her medical and dental care needs after an electric scooter accident. I work as an administrator in medical field in another State, it has been very hard for me to get things done that she needs here. I was looking for a dental surgeon after her jaw surgery, and nobody from School Student Health and insurance company could point me to the right direction. The provider’s list provided by the insurance company is outdated. I was searching online and I found the Center. I didn’t see the Center is on the insurance list, but a feeling told me to give them a call. I’m so glad I did. Angela was the sweetest person I have encountered over the phone. Her compassion and caring heart just poured out after she heard my niece’s story. Even though their office won’t be able to help with what my niece needs, she still went above and beyond to offer help. She took initiative to call the surgeon’s office to get the surgery info to help moving forward. In today’s world, you don’t see or hear something like this happen anymore, I am very grateful for experiencing this in Davis, CA. It gives me hope for the society and the values people still hold. They can do this for a stranger, can you imagine what they will do for their own patients ? So if you are looking for an oral surgeon’s office, I highly recommend the Center to you! They don’t know that I’m posting this ( I normally don’t), this is from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Angela, I wish the best for you and the Center. Wen DePriest

Dr. Albadawi, the technicians, and the staff are all very polite, professional, and a treat to be served by! I had two implants set today and the process was smooth and easy. I've been here once before and the level of service and care is spectacular. Definitely recommend for any oral surgery needs 😊

I don’t always share on here but I wanted to. I was terrified to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I have been avoiding it for years and finally I broke one of my wisdom teeth was having such bad pain from the break I had no choice. I searched for a few days for an oral surgeon to take them out and all had a long wait time. I called on a Friday and by Monday I was getting my wisdom teeth removed. Mind you this was days before Christmas. So I was so glad to find a place to squeeze me in on short notice. Even though I was terrified, the pain was so bad I needed to do it. The team was so friendly and supportive even though I was extremely afraid. They talked me through the prep process and that was super helpful. I wish I could remember the woman’s name who held my hand while I was going under she was truly so helpful. I was so nervous and afraid and she was very friendly (and so was everyone else) but her holding my hand really helped me when I was scared. It’s been 10 days post op and I’ve healed up very well. I still have some soreness and discomfort but every day it gets better and I’m sure I’ll be back to myself in no time. I highly recommend this place if you need oral surgery.

My daughter had to have all four wisdom teeth removed, a week before she moved into her college dorm at Davis. She was so nervous and had to be fully put under. It was extremely hard for me waiting in the waiting room and not being there for her, but, from start to finish everyone was absolutely amazing. The gals at the front desk kept me distracted while the surgeon and his team took great care of my baby girl. Let me just add, we were supposed to have her teeth pulled at another oral surgeon, but something about them made me so uneasy and overly anxious. I didn’t think I had an option to take my girl somewhere else since they were referred by our dentist. However, motherly instinct set in and I called Davis Oral Surgery, they verified insurance, did a consult and scheduled her. All within a week. Thank you Angie and your partner (shame on me for not knowing her name), for your kindness and PATIENCE!! even though I called like five times. I was so stressed and overwhelmed and from the moment I called you, and you assured me it would be okay and I felt so much better. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to most, but my daughter is all I have so everything is a big deal to me. So thank you! Thank you 🙏🏼

Such a friendly office that shows they care about the patient. It was very comforting to have skilled professionals pull my husband's tooth. They made him feel relaxed and pulled hi bad tooth in a short amount of time. Thank you so much for the wonderful care you took with him.
