How long does oral surgery take?
The duration of oral surgery typically spans a few hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. While the surgery itself may be brief, plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
Complete recovery from oral surgery generally takes one to two weeks, with many patients needing to rest for a few days post-surgery. The level of pain during recovery varies based on the procedure, and most patients are prescribed pain medication to manage discomfort.
