In many cases, our dentists can find a solution for your smile with routine dental treatments. But there are also times when you may need to see Dr. Farshad Farhoumand and associates for a more complicated oral health issue. For those times, we offer oral surgery in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Depending on your dental health needs, that may mean a tooth extraction, dental implant placement, bone grafting or more. For an appointment to learn about your treatment options, call Avanti Dentistry at (703) 952-0663 and speak with one of our team members.

Oral surgery may be recommended when more conservative treatments are not sufficient to fully restore your oral health. Oral surgery works to improve the function, health and appearance of your smile and supporting oral structures, including your jaw. Our dentists will carefully evaluate your mouth and jaw to determine which type of oral surgery is right for you.

Common oral surgery procedures include:

  • Tooth extractions for teeth that are decayed, infected or otherwise damaged beyond the point where they can be restored.
  • Wisdom teeth removal for third molars that are impacted or have come in at a bad angle.
  • Jaw surgery (also known as orthognathic surgery) to treat a TMJ disorder, correct uneven jaw growth or resolve other issues with the jaw.
  • Bone grafting to increase bone density prior to implant placement.

Our dentists and team will work closely with other dental professionals and hospitals to ensure that you receive high-quality care and the most conservative surgical treatment possible. We are committed to providing you with a procedure that meets your individual needs and will be as comfortable and effective as possible for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery

What types of oral surgery procedures are available at Avant Dentistry?

Avant Dentistry offers a full range of in-house oral surgery services, including wisdom tooth extraction (even impacted teeth), dental implant placement, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic), and biopsy of suspicious oral lesions. Our experienced oral surgeons evaluate each patient’s needs and recommend the safest, most effective approach—performed conveniently on-site in a comfortable, modern setting.

Do I need sedation or anesthesia during oral surgery?

To ensure your comfort and peace of mind, we provide several levels of sedation—local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. These options allow us to tailor your experience to your anxiety level, procedure complexity, and medical history, ensuring a smooth and pain-free experience from start to finish.

How should I prepare for my surgery appointment?

Preparation begins with a detailed consultation and 3D imaging to plan your procedure. Before surgery, we’ll review your medical history and any medications. On the day of surgery, please arrive with a responsible adult to drive you home if sedation is used. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid eating or drinking for several hours beforehand, as we provide specific pre-operative instructions to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

What can I expect during recovery?

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure:

  •       Simple extractions may heal within a few days.
  •       Impacted wisdom tooth removal or bone grafting can require up to two weeks of recovery.
  •       Dental implants may take several months for integration, though the surgical healing is usually a few weeks.

We provide prescription or over-the-counter pain relief, antibiotic guidance when needed, and a full set of aftercare instructions—including diet guidelines, swelling control, and follow-up scheduling—to support the healing process.

Will I need to take time off work or school?

Many patients return to work or school within 1–2 days after a simple extraction, though taking it easy for a few days is best. More involved procedures like wisdom tooth extraction or implant surgery may require 3–5 days of rest. We’ll assess your situation and provide a recovery plan so you can prepare accordingly.

What happens if complications arise?

While complications are rare, they can include prolonged bleeding, infection, or dry socket after extractions. Please contact us immediately if you notice unusual pain, swelling, fever, or delayed healing. We offer emergency phone access and same-day care when needed—our priority is to address concerns promptly and keep your recovery on track.
