Is it possible to get a lingual frenectomy during wisdom teeth extraction?

Yes: Most if not all oral surgeons have the skill to perform a lingual frenectomy during wisdom tooth extraction. Talk to your surgeon about the procedure to see if it's right for you to do with the extractions.

Yes: If a frenectomy is what you need, that procedure can be done at the same time if your dentist & you agreed to it.

Yes: This would be a great time to get both of these surgeries accomplished. You will have anesthesia, and only be in discomfort one time. Most oral surgeons would recommend this surgery plan.

Yes: You should not allow your infant to sleep with milk after teeth start erupting. Not only can it damage their primary teeth, but this situation may result in a lifetime of dental problems. Placing only water in the bottle for sleep time is a great alternative or gently rocking the baby to sleep with no bottle may work also.

2-3 weeks: The aligners are delivered very soon after the clincheck is approved. In our office it takes 2-3 weeks.

Cannot guess: It may take up to one year if you have a large gap, and less time if you have a narrow gap. Please speak with your dentist and get a professional opinion with a clinical exam.

A few hours: Please take your time chewing and eating until the numbness wears off. It is important to note that you may bite your cheek or tongue while chewing while numb.

3-6 months: It is important to have your implant fully integrate into your bone before placing the final restoration & loading the implant for function. This can take between 3-6 months.

No: Mouth rinses that are formulated for commercial use are fine to use. Also scrub & rinse your appliance every day.

Multiple procedures: It may not be strongly recommended to have do much done in one surgery, but if are going to be put asleep or sedated for your wisdoms, i think it is up to you and your surgeon. Who's suggestion was it to have both done? If your apprehensive, talk to your surgeon about this before your appointment.
