Your Surgical Visit, Step by Step
Urgent Scheduling for Urgent Procedures
Rapid Assessment
When the problem involves trauma, impaction, or spreading infection, speed matters. We prioritize these patients for a same-day exam.
Later-in-the-Day Options
If trouble starts after normal business hours, tell us when you call. We offer late appointments so you aren’t left waiting.
Weekend Coverage
Surgical emergencies don’t follow a Monday-to-Friday schedule. We keep weekend appointments available for urgent cases.
Benefits of Not Waiting
1
Fewer Complications
Putting off necessary surgery gives an infection time to spread or an injury time to worsen, and either can make the eventual treatment more complicated.
2
Pain That Finally Resolves
An impacted tooth or deep infection can cause severe pain that usually only eases once the underlying problem is dealt with.
3
Better Odds for Your Mouth Long-Term
Timely care helps preserve healthy tooth, gum, and bone structure, which matters for any restorative work you need later.
4
A Smoother Road to Recovery
Treating a surgical problem early generally leads to an easier healing process than waiting until it becomes severe.

Pflugerville Emergency Oral Surgery FAQs
How do I know if I need oral surgery instead of a regular extraction?
A surgical approach is often needed when a tooth is impacted, broken beneath the gumline, or has roots that are curved or fused to the bone. We’ll make the call after your exam and X-rays.
Will emergency oral surgery hurt, and can I be sedated?
We fully numb the area before we begin, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Sedation is available if you’re anxious or need a longer, more involved surgery. Most discomfort comes during recovery and can usually be managed with medication.
How long does recovery take?
It varies by procedure. Simple surgical extractions often heal within about a week, while more involved surgeries can take longer. We’ll give you a timeline specific to your procedure.
What should I do right after surgery?
Follow the aftercare instructions we give you. These typically include biting on gauze to control bleeding, avoiding straws and smoking, eating soft foods, and taking any prescribed medication as directed.
How much does emergency oral surgery cost?
Cost depends on how complex the procedure is and whether sedation is used. We offer payment plan options so cost is less likely to keep you from the care you need.
