What the Process Looks Like
Surgical Care When Time Matters
Same-Day Assessment
Surgical problems need prompt evaluation. We prioritize same-day visits for patients with serious trauma, impaction, or infection.
Late-Day Appointments
If trouble strikes outside normal hours, let us know. We offer later appointments so you don’t wait longer than necessary.
Weekend Availability
Oral surgery emergencies don’t hold off until Monday, and we keep weekend spots open for urgent cases.
Reasons to Act Without Delay
1
Avoiding Complications
Putting off needed surgery can let infection spread or an injury worsen, making treatment more complicated later.
2
Ending Severe Pain
Impacted teeth and deep infections often cause intense pain that only stops when the underlying problem is dealt with.
3
Preserving Healthy Structure
Timely surgery helps save as much healthy tooth, gum, and bone as possible, which matters for any restorative work to follow.
4
A Smoother Recovery
Treating a surgical problem early generally leads to a faster, easier recovery than waiting until it becomes severe.

Emergency Oral Surgery FAQs for Wells Branch Patients
How do I know if I need surgery rather than a regular extraction?
Surgery is often needed when a tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or has curved roots or roots fused to the bone. We’ll make the call after an exam and X-ray. Call us at (512) 961-6200 if you’re unsure.
Is it painful?
We fully numb the area first, and sedation is available if you’re anxious or having a more involved procedure. Most discomfort comes during recovery and can usually be managed with medication.
How long is recovery?
It depends on the 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 case.
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. Seek emergency care if bleeding won’t stop or swelling affects your breathing or swallowing.
What does it cost, and can I be sedated?
Cost depends on how complex the procedure is and whether sedation is used, and we can discuss payment options at your visit. Yes, sedation is available for anxious patients and for more complex procedures.
