While your general dentist focuses on preventive care, such as cleanings and fillings, oral surgery specialists step in for more advanced procedures.
This might include removing damaged or infected teeth, treating infections that have spread to the jaw or surrounding tissue, or addressing tooth pain that hasn't responded to standard treatments.
At Tend, our dentists and oral surgeons are here to provide expert care with the comfort and support you deserve. We use modern surgical techniques and advanced technology designed to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.
You'll receive clear guidance throughout your treatment and recovery, with follow-up care to ensure you're healing well every step of the way.

It's natural to have questions when considering oral surgery. We want you to feel informed and comfortable at every step. Here are some frequently asked questions about oral surgery.
Oral surgery procedures are designed to treat specific dental conditions, so the type of surgery you need depends on the issue you're facing.
Common situations include wisdom teeth that can't fully erupt, teeth damaged beyond repair, or infections that have spread to the surrounding bone.
If non-surgical treatment options aren't sufficient to restore your oral health, our oral surgery specialists will discuss surgical solutions with you.
We offer comprehensive oral surgery services, including tooth extractions (simple and complex), removal of impacted wisdom teeth, surgical treatment for damaged or infected teeth, and emergency oral surgery evaluations.
During your oral surgery consultation, we'll discuss which procedure is right for your specific situation and create a personalized treatment plan.
Once you're settled in and your anesthesia has taken effect, your surgeon will carefully perform your procedure using precise, minimally invasive techniques.
Throughout the procedure, we use advanced imaging technology to guide our work with accuracy. You'll feel pressure or movement but no pain, and our team continuously monitors your vital signs and comfort level.
The surgical site is kept clean and clear using specialized equipment, and we work efficiently to complete your treatment while maintaining the highest standards of care.
At Tend, we combine surgical expertise with our signature comfort-focused approach. Our studios offer the same care you would find in an oral surgery clinic setting, but with the added benefit of a calming, rather than clinical, feel. We prioritize clear communication, modern techniques, and personalized care at every step.
From your initial oral surgery consultation through recovery, you'll experience the same welcoming, judgment-free environment that defines all of our dental services. We believe expert surgical dental care and genuine comfort can, and should, go hand in hand.
Many dental insurance plans cover medically necessary oral surgery, including extractions and treatment for impacted teeth or infections.
Coverage varies by plan and procedure. Before your oral surgery consultation, we'll verify your insurance. During the consultation, once the doctor determines your recommended treatment, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of what's covered and your estimated out-of- pocket cost.
We work with most major insurance carriers and offer financing options to help make your surgical dental care affordable.
If Tend is out-of-network with your dental insurance plan, you can still receive treatment at our studios. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits.
Payment is due at the time of your visit. As an out-of-network provider, we will still submit the claim to your insurance carrier on your behalf. Once processed, your insurer will review the claim and issue any reimbursement according to your plan’s out-of-network benefits.
If you have questions about your benefits, our team can help you review your coverage before treatment so you know what to expect.
Please let us know if you have any further questions!
Recovery varies depending on your specific oral surgery procedure, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a week. We provide clear, detailed post-procedure instructions, including how to manage discomfort, what to eat, when to resume normal oral hygiene, and warning signs to watch for.
Following your oral surgery treatment, you may experience some swelling, mild discomfort, and temporary dietary restrictions. Our team remains available throughout your recovery to answer questions and address any concerns.
We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
Absolutely. Timely oral surgery can prevent minor problems from becoming major ones. For example, removing an impacted wisdom tooth before it damages neighboring teeth, or extracting a severely infected tooth before the infection spreads to your jawbone.
Our oral surgery specialists focus on preserving your long-term oral health and helping you avoid more invasive procedures down the road.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there's an important distinction.
An oral surgeon focuses primarily on procedures within the mouth, including teeth, gums, and jaw. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon has completed additional specialized training that extends beyond the oral cavity to encompass the entire face, jaw, neck, and head.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery providers are qualified to handle more complex cases, including facial trauma, corrective jaw surgery, facial reconstruction, and conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint. Many complete both dental school and medical school, followed by a hospital-based residency program that can last up to six years.
Essentially, all oral and maxillofacial surgeons can perform oral surgery, but their extensive training allows them to address a broader range of conditions affecting the facial structures and beyond.
