Oral Surgery in Scarborough, ON
Oral Surgery Scarborough
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a broad term covering surgical treatment of the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. It may be needed when a dental problem cannot be resolved through general or restorative dentistry alone.
Depending on the condition, treatment may involve tooth extraction, management of the jawbone or soft tissue, or other surgical care. A dental examination and appropriate imaging help determine the cause and the most suitable approach, including whether sedation may be appropriate.
At BSRV Dental Office, our dental team explains your treatment options clearly before recommending surgery. We consider your oral health, the condition of the affected area, and your individual treatment needs when planning care.
Benefits of Oral Surgery
Oral surgery can be recommended when a dental condition requires surgical treatment and cannot be adequately managed with routine or restorative care. It may address problems affecting the teeth, gums, or jaw.
Resolves Problems That Other Treatments Cannot Fix
Surgery can address issues such as impacted teeth, advanced dental infection, or structural jaw problems when non-surgical treatment is not sufficient.
Helps Prevent Complications From Getting Worse
Treating a damaged, infected, or impacted area can help limit ongoing problems affecting nearby teeth, gums, bone, or other oral tissues.
Restores Comfort and Oral Function
Appropriate surgical treatment can reduce pain and help restore everyday functions such as chewing and speaking, supporting a more comfortable daily life.

Is Oral Surgery Right for You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Oral Surgery?
Patients With Impacted or Problematic Wisdom Teeth
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, gum problems, or pressure on nearby teeth and may require surgical removal.
Patients Needing a Complex Tooth Extraction
Some teeth cannot be removed through a straightforward extraction because of their position, root structure, breakage, or other clinical factors. A surgical extraction may be required.
Patients With an Infection, Cyst, or Growth
Certain oral infections, cysts, or abnormal growths may require surgical treatment after clinical examination and appropriate imaging.
Types of Oral Surgery Procedures
Oral surgery covers a range of procedures, with the appropriate treatment depending on the dental or oral problem being addressed. The procedure may involve removing a tooth, treating an impacted tooth, managing an oral infection, or addressing other conditions that require surgical care.
- Tooth extractions: Simple or surgical removal of teeth that cannot be predictably restored.
- Wisdom teeth removal: Surgical treatment for problematic or impacted wisdom teeth.
- Dental implant placement: Surgical placement of an implant to replace a missing tooth when appropriate.
- Bone grafting: Adding bone material when additional jawbone support may be needed for certain treatments.
- Oral infections and abscesses: Surgical management may be required when an infection cannot be adequately resolved with routine treatment.
- Biopsies: Removal of a small tissue sample for further examination when an unusual oral lesion or growth needs assessment.
- TMJ/TMD-related surgery: Surgical treatment may be considered for certain temporomandibular joint conditions when other approaches are not sufficient.
Everything You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Average Cost of Having a Tooth Removed in Toronto?
There is no single average cost because the price depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical, the tooth’s condition and location, and whether additional treatment is needed. BSRV Dental Office can provide a personalized estimate after examining the tooth and determining the appropriate treatment.
How Long Is the Waiting List for Oral Surgery?
There is no standard waiting time for oral surgery in Scarborough because it depends on the procedure, clinical urgency, and whether specialist or hospital-based care is required. During your assessment, the dental team can explain the expected timing based on your treatment needs.
Is Oral Surgery Covered in Ontario?
OHIP generally does not cover routine dental services performed in a dental office, but it can cover certain eligible dental surgeries performed in a hospital when specific medical requirements are met. Private dental insurance or the CDCP may cover eligible oral-surgery services, but coverage depends on the plan, procedure, eligibility, and applicable requirements.
What Is the Most Common Oral Surgery?
Tooth extraction is one of the most common oral-surgery procedures, particularly when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, impacted, or cannot be predictably restored. Wisdom teeth removal is another common reason for surgical dental care.
Do I Need a Referral for Oral Surgery?
A referral is not necessarily required for every oral-surgery concern, but the process can depend on the type of treatment and whether specialist care is needed. An initial dental assessment can help determine the appropriate next step for your condition.
Is Oral Surgery Painful?
The treatment area is usually numbed with local anesthetic, so sharp pain should be controlled during the procedure, although pressure or movement may be noticeable. Some soreness, swelling, or tenderness can occur afterward and usually improves as the area heals.
