    You are a 'survivor' from the day that you are diagnosed. The word, 'survivor' isn't just a title, it’s an attitude.

  • Can you have 2 dental implants next to each other?

    Absolutely. You can even have several missing teeth replaced at the same time. READ MORE

  • Can I eat hard food after a bone graft?

    Please follow a soft food diet, taking care to avoid the surgical area(s) when chewing. Chew on the opposite side and do NOT bite into food if the procedure was done in the front of the mouth. Avoid sticky, hard (such as ice cubes, nuts, popcorn, chips), brittle, spicy, highly seasoned, or acidic foods in your diet. READ MORE

  • Can I drink water after dental implant surgery?

    During the first 24-48 hours, you should stick to a cool liquid diet, which means: Avoid any hot foods or beverages and consume only cool liquids instead. Do not drink through a straw or from a water bottle that requires suction, as this could put pressure on your implant site. READ MORE

  • Is bleeding normal 2 days after implant surgery?

    This is normal. A small amount of oozing blood is nothing to worry about. However, this should mostly be resolved after 48 hours. After this time, you should experience no serious bleeding. READ MORE

  • Do you use my own bone for a bone graft?

    Talk with your healthcare provider about whether you want to use a bone from a donor or a bone from elsewhere in your body. If you use your own bone, you will have to have extra surgery to remove this bone. You won't need this if you use donated bone, but donated bone has its own small risks. READ MORE

  • Are gum cysts serious?

    Dental cysts can exert pressure on neighboring teeth and the jawbone as they grow, potentially causing pain, swelling, tooth displacement, or bone damage. In severe cases, untreated cysts can lead to infections that may spread to other parts of the face and neck. READ MORE

  • How painful is oral cyst surgery?

    Removing a dental cyst with surgery is almost never painful as the area is locally numbed or the patient is asleep during the operation. In more extreme cases, teeth may need to be pulled during the cyst removal, so there may be pressure and some pain involved if it is deemed necessary during treatment. READ MORE

  • Can pinhole gum surgery fix gum recession around the crown?

    The procedure is a minimally invasive dental procedure used to straighten or correct uneven or receding gum lines along the crown of the tooth. READ MORE

  • Can I remove an oral cyst at home?

    The best outcome is removing both the cyst and the gland that caused the cyst. To prevent infection and damage to the tissue, do not try to open the sac yourself. Treatment should only be done by your provider. Oral surgeons and some dentists can remove the sac. READ MORE

  • Can surgery remove an oral cyst?

    Most odontogenic cysts are removed through surgery. If the cysts develop inside the soft tissues of the mouth, a tissue surgery is performed, but if the cysts form inside the jaw bone, a bone surgery is performed to remove the cyst. READ MORE

  • How soon after the bone graft can I get an implant?

    In general, we encourage patients to get a dental implant within six to 12 months of the bone graft. This is because the implant puts the same pressure on the bone that your tooth roots did, which maintains the quantity and quality of bone, preventing bone loss. READ MORE

  • Do you need general anesthesia for jaw alignment surgery?

    Jaw surgery is used to reposition the jaws, and correct any imbalance between the upper and lower jaws. This allows the teeth and jaws to meet together correctly. You have the surgery under general anaesthetic. READ MORE

  • Can I brush my teeth after pinhole surgery?

    For the first 1-2 weeks, you will use the prescribed rinse ONLY to keep the surgical sites clean. READ MORE

  • How do you clean implants with floss?

    You simply glide the super floss underneath your bridge, then wipe back and forth underneath. Then, wrap the floss around the implant on each side of that space to clean more closely along the gumlines. READ MORE

  • Is jaw alignment surgery painful?

    You are under general anaesthetic during the procedure, so no pain is felt. After the surgery, you will be given painkillers to help make the recovery stage as easy as possible. If you follow the correct recovery steps, you will recover in as little discomfort as possible. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to recover from corrective jaw surgery?

    Normal recovery time lasts just a couple of weeks for minor surgery. For more complicated surgery, the initial healing phase can last about six to eight weeks. Complete healing of the jaws can take between 9 and 12 months. READ MORE

  • How long after the implant can I exercise?

    Avoid strenuous work or exercise (heavy lifting, jogging, tennis, aerobics, and sit-ups) for at least 1 week after surgery. Apply ice to the face to reduce swelling the day of surgery. READ MORE

  • How soon after jaw surgery can I go to a gym?

    You can resume light physical exercise as soon as you feel able to following your surgery. The plastic splint should be worn at all times during exercise for the first 4-6 weeks after your jaw surgery. You should NOT participate in any exercise or sports that may involve hitting your jaw. READ MORE

  • Jaw bone infection?

    If it does not get better, or if the pain is severe or unrelieved by home measures, it is important to call the endodontist or dentist for an evaluation. READ MORE
