What happens if you don’t have enough bone for dental implants?

If your teeth have been missing for some time or if you had gum disease in the past, you may not have the bone support needed for dental implants. In some cases, you may be a candidate for an alternative procedure like mini dental implants, which requires less support. Otherwise, you will need bone grafting or a sinus lift before getting dental implants to ensure successful results.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

The recovery time for a tooth extraction can vary, depending on whether any teeth were impacted, but in most cases, it takes 1 to 2 weeks to recover.

Yes, Botox is an effective TMJ disorder treatment for many patients. If self-managed care and splints haven’t helped alleviate your pain, you may be a candidate for Botox.

Can cleft palate be corrected?

Yes, cleft palate can be corrected, and the prognosis for these patients is good. Dr. Park is highly skilled in treating both cleft palate and cleft lip.

Will I feel any pain with dental sedation?

Dental sedation helps you feel calm and relaxed during your procedure, but it does not alleviate pain. For this reason, we always pair dental sedation with local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. While you may feel some movement or pressure as Dr. Park works, you won’t feel pain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our West End, NYC Oral Surgery Practice

What Patients Are Saying About Our West End, NYC Oral Surgeon

“Dr. Park is incredibly kind. I needed to speak to him several times in advance of my surgery and he made himself immediately available each time for any question or concern I had. His guidance was impeccable. When I finally saw him for two extractions he was gentle, warm, and reassuring. The surgery was totally painless. I rate him among my very favorite dentists over the past 75 years!”
- T.P.

“An incredibly easy, comfortable experience! I got a wisdom tooth out and the efficiency with which Dr. Park operates is amazing. It was over in a flash with no pain at all. Highly recommend if you’re at all anxious about oral surgery. They’ll put your worries to rest.”
- G.C.

“The most caring, hands-on, avuncular doctor I've ever come across. Seriously. Dr. Park is a throwback from a prior generation when doctors were driven by the desire to heal, rather than the desire to make a buck. In my 43 years I have never experienced service like this from a doctor. He is patient, knowledgeable, empathetic, and a soothing presence in the operating room.”
- A.P.
