Look for an oral surgeon who provides transparent communication about your treatment plan and takes time to answer your questions. Verify their license is current and in good standing on the state board's website. A reputable surgeon will offer written estimates upfront and explain risks and recovery expectations clearly.

Ask about their malpractice insurance and whether they're affiliated with a hospital or surgical center.
You can verify an oral surgeon's license through the Illinois State Dental Board website. When contacting practices, confirm they hold a valid oral surgery license and ask about their credentials and training.
A consultation typically includes a review of your medical history, a clinical examination, and discussion of your treatment options. The surgeon should explain the procedure, anesthesia choices, risks, recovery time, and provide a written estimate.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure. Minor extractions may take a few days, while more complex surgeries can require one to two weeks or longer. Your surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions.
Not all oral surgery requires general anesthesia. Options range from local anesthesia alone to sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and your comfort level. Discuss your preferences with your surgeon.
Follow your surgeon's pre-operative instructions, which may include fasting, adjusting medications, or arranging transportation if sedation is used. Bring your insurance card and medical history to your appointment.
