FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an oral surgeon different from a general dentist?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) has completed 4–6 years of additional surgical residency training beyond dental school, often including a medical degree. This allows them to manage complex cases, administer IV sedation and general anesthesia, and perform reconstructive jaw surgery.

Is wisdom tooth surgery done under sedation?

We offer local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation. Most patients prefer IV sedation for wisdom tooth removal, which means you will be relaxed and have little to no memory of the procedure.

How long is recovery after wisdom teeth removal?

Most patients feel significantly better within 3–5 days. We recommend soft foods and rest for the first 48 hours. Dr. Leung will provide detailed post-operative instructions.

Can general dentists place implants?

General dentists can place simple implants, but complex cases — including bone grafting, sinus lifts, and multiple implants — are best handled by a specialist. Dr. Steven Leung's dual DDS/MD training is particularly valuable for surgical implant cases.
