Quick Facts
Essential information about this procedure
“We want every patient to leave our office knowing exactly what happened, what comes next, and that they're in good hands.”
When a Tooth Cannot Be Saved
Not every dental problem can be fixed with a filling or a crown. Sometimes a tooth is too damaged, too infected, or positioned in a way that affects your overall oral health — and oral surgery becomes the clearest path forward.
At Elmora Dental in Elizabeth, NJ, Dr. Sonal Deshpande leads oral surgery care for patients who need more than routine treatment. That includes tooth extractions, which are among the most common oral surgery procedures and are often completed in a single visit. For more involved concerns — such as jawbone issues or conditions that require staged care — Dr. Deshpande walks you through what to expect at every step.
Before any procedure begins, we make time for a real conversation. We want you to know what the surgery involves, what blood loss and recovery look like, and how pain will be managed afterward. If you have a health condition like high blood pressure or diabetes, it's important to share that with us — it directly shapes how we plan your care.
Oral surgery doesn't have to feel overwhelming. With the right information and a team you trust, it becomes a manageable step toward a healthier mouth.

Learn moreCommon Questions About Oral Surgery
What kinds of problems actually require oral surgery?
Oral surgery is typically needed when a tooth can't be saved by a filling, crown, or root canal — for example, severely infected or damaged teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or preparation for dental implants. At Elmora Dental Associates of Elizabeth, we only recommend surgery when it's truly the best path forward for your oral health.
Will I be awake during the procedure? I'm worried about being uncomfortable.
Most oral surgery procedures at our office are performed under local anesthesia, meaning the area is fully numb but you remain awake. Our team focuses on minimizing discomfort throughout, and we'll explain every step before we begin. If you have anxiety about the procedure, let us know — we'll talk through options to help you feel more at ease.
How long does recovery from oral surgery take?
Recovery varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure, but most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days to a week. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow up with you to make sure healing is on track. Following those instructions carefully is the most important step in a smooth recovery.
Do I need to be referred to a different office for oral surgery?
No — Elmora Dental Associates of Elizabeth provides oral surgery right here at our Elmora Ave location. Having surgery performed at the same practice where you receive your routine care means we already know your dental history, which helps us provide safer, more coordinated treatment. No need to start over with a new provider.
How much will oral surgery cost, and what does insurance typically cover?
The cost of oral surgery depends on what's being done and how involved the procedure is. Many dental insurance plans cover oral surgery when it's medically necessary, though coverage levels vary. We'll review your benefits before scheduling your procedure so you're not caught off guard by out-of-pocket costs.
Before any procedure, we want our patients to have a clear picture of what's ahead — because understanding your treatment is part of feeling comfortable with it.

Oral surgery can feel intimidating when you don't know what to expect. At Elmora Dental, we believe the conversation before your procedure is just as important as the procedure itself. Knowing what happens during surgery, how recovery unfolds, and what pain management looks like helps patients feel in control — and that makes a real difference in outcomes.
