I got my wisdom teeth extracted here the staff was WONDERFUL and KIND. I had never had a surgery and I have severe anxiety and the process was easy and painless. The healing regimen they provided has left me minimal pain. I would recommend Gental Dental Brighton to ANYONE!!

Dr. Yan did my exam and a cavity filling, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s kind, considerate, and highly professional—she explained each step, worked gently, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The results look and feel great. Highly recommended!
Brighton, MA
Had a wonderful first appointment with Lauren and Dr. Yan. They were efficient but very personable, explaining each procedure. They were, true to name, very gentle and were very mindful about any possible discomfort. The receptionists were also friendly and warm. The facilities were clean and seemed very modern. Overall I would absolutely recommend this location!
Oral surgery is a dental specialty that treats problems involving teeth, gums, jawbone, and nearby tissues. It includes procedures that remove damaged teeth, address infection, and prepare the mouth for replacement teeth.
Some people need oral surgery after an injury or a severe infection. Others need it for impacted wisdom teeth, tooth loss, or bone changes that make routine dental care less effective.
Common signs include a tooth that will not fully erupt, ongoing jaw pain, swelling, or a dental infection that keeps returning. You may also notice trouble chewing, biting, or opening your mouth comfortably.
If a tooth is badly broken, deeply decayed, or stuck below the gums, surgery may be the safest next step. A dentist may also recommend evaluation when pain does not improve with standard treatment.
Common procedures include tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and surgical removal of teeth that are trapped under the gums. Some patients also need treatment for infections or damaged tissue around a tooth.
Oral surgery can also include implant placement after a tooth is removed. The exact procedure depends on your needs, your bone support, and whether the tooth can be saved with another treatment.
Candidacy depends on your symptoms, dental exam, and imaging such as X-rays. Your dentist or oral surgeon also looks at age, medical history, bone health, and whether an active infection could affect healing.
Some patients can have surgery right away. Others need infection control, medical clearance, or a different treatment first. The goal is to choose the safest option for your mouth and overall health.
Alternatives may include monitoring, antibiotics, root canal treatment, smoothing a sharp edge, or removing only part of a damaged tooth. In some cases, a restoration can hold a tooth in place instead of removing it.
Recovery time depends on the procedure, but most patients need a few days of rest and several weeks for deeper healing. Swelling, soreness and light bleeding are common at first, then usually improve steadily.
Follow aftercare instructions closely. That usually means resting, eating soft foods, keeping the area clean and avoiding smoking or heavy activity. If pain gets worse, bleeding continues or swelling spreads, contact your Brighton dental team.
Oral surgery cost depends on the procedure, the number of teeth treated, whether imaging or sedation is needed and whether the case is simple or complex. A tooth extraction is usually priced differently than implant surgery.
Dental insurance may cover part of medically necessary treatment, but benefits vary by plan. Our office can help you understand coverage and discuss payment options before treatment so you can plan ahead.
