What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery involves surgical procedures on the mouth, jaw, and face to treat a range of dental conditions that cannot be resolved through routine treatments. At BLOK Dental Studio, we focus on minimally invasive techniques, patient education, and recovery support so you can feel confident and comfortable before, during, and after your procedure.
Oral surgery often supports or complements other services, including restorative dentistry, emergency dental care, and cosmetic treatments.
Our Oral Surgery Services in Saskatoon
Tooth Extractions (Simple & Surgical)
If a tooth is too damaged to be saved, or if it's causing crowding, pain, or infection, extraction may be necessary. We perform both simple and surgical extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth.
Common reasons for extraction:
- Severe decay or infection
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Orthodontic preparation for clear aligners
- Advanced periodontal disease
We’ll review all options and may recommend alternatives like root canals when possible.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, often become impacted or grow at an angle. This can cause swelling, pain, infection, or alignment issues. We provide in-house wisdom tooth evaluations and extractions, usually between the ages of 16–25.
Why remove wisdom teeth:
- Prevent crowding of healthy teeth
- Avoid infection or cyst development
- Relieve jaw pain and swelling
Wisdom teeth evaluations are often done during your routine dental exams.
Dental Implant Placement
Our surgical team places implants into the jawbone with precision, offering permanent solutions for missing teeth. Implant surgery is one of the most common procedures we perform, and it’s often paired with bone grafting or sinus lift surgery when necessary.
If you're missing one or more teeth, visit our dental implants page for more information about long-term tooth replacement.
Bone Grafting & Ridge Preservation
To prepare your jaw for future implants or to preserve natural bone after an extraction, we may recommend a bone graft or ridge preservation procedure.
These techniques support the shape and structure of your jawbone while improving success rates for future implant placement or prosthetics.
Frenectomies & Soft Tissue Surgery
We also perform soft tissue procedures, such as frenectomies, to correct issues like tongue-tie or lip-tie in both children and adults. These simple surgeries improve oral function and speech and are commonly part of our family dentistry care.
What to Expect Before, During & After Oral Surgery
Consultation & Digital Imaging
We begin with a thorough examination and advanced digital X-rays to plan your procedure with complete precision.
Personalized Treatment Plan
We’ll walk you through every detail — from anesthesia options to post-op care. For anxious patients, we provide sedation options and gentle reassurance.
Surgical Procedure
Most surgeries are performed in-office and take 30–90 minutes depending on the complexity. You’ll be monitored and supported throughout.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Post-surgical instructions will help you heal quickly and comfortably. We’ll schedule follow-ups to ensure everything is healing as expected and coordinate any needed restorative treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery
Is oral surgery painful?
Most procedures are pain-free with local anesthesia or sedation. You may experience mild swelling or discomfort afterward, which is manageable with medication.
How long does it take to heal?
Initial healing often takes 1–2 weeks, while full healing for bone or implants can take several months.
Can I return to work after surgery?
For minor procedures, you may return to work the next day. For more complex surgeries, we recommend 1–3 days of rest.
Will I be sedated for my procedure?
We offer several options, including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and oral sedation, depending on your procedure and anxiety level.
