If you need oral surgery in Longueuil, hellodent can help you search for participating clinics, sort by rating or distance, and request an appointment. Not every clinic offers every treatment, so it helps to compare a few options before you book.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery covers treatments that go beyond a routine filling or hygiene visit. It includes pulling teeth, removing wisdom teeth, placing bone grafts, and correcting issues with the jaw. A surgeon numbs the area first, and sedation may be offered for longer cases.
In Quebec, some of these treatments can be done by a general dentist with extra training. More involved cases may go to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, a dentist who has finished added surgical training and works within that specialty. The treatment you need decides who is the right fit.
How Much Does Oral Surgery Cost in Longueuil?
Cost is one of the first things people ask about. Prices in Longueuil vary based on the treatment, how complex your case is, and which provider you see.
| Treatment |
Longueuil Price Range |
| Simple tooth extraction |
$200 to $400 |
| Surgical extraction |
$400 to $900 |
| Wisdom teeth (per tooth) |
$300 to $1,100 |
| Bone graft |
$500 to $3,000 |
Figures are an estimate according to the hellodent Canadian Dental Health Guide. Your actual cost may differ by provider and case.
A few things may push your bill higher or lower:
- How many teeth are treated in one visit.
- Whether the tooth is impacted or sits below the gum.
- The type of sedation you choose.
- Whether a graft or other added step is needed.
Types of Oral Surgery Available in Longueuil
Tooth Extractions
This is the most common oral surgery. A simple extraction removes a tooth that has come through the gum. A surgical extraction is used when a tooth is broken at the gum line or sits below it.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth often crowd or come in at an angle. Removing them can prevent pain, infection, and pressure on nearby teeth. Many cases are handled in one visit, sometimes with sedation.
Bone Grafting
If your jawbone has thinned after tooth loss, a graft may rebuild it. This can prepare the area for a future implant or denture. Healing may take a few months before the next step.
Jaw and Corrective Surgery
Some patients need surgery to correct how the upper and lower jaws meet. These cases are more involved and usually go to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who works within that specialty.
Sedation Options
For longer or more anxious visits, your provider may offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation. Ask which choice suits your treatment and health history.
Where to Find Oral Surgery Providers in Longueuil
Providers are spread across the city. You can group the areas roughly like this:
Le Vieux-Longueuil: Centre-ville, Le Coteau-Rouge
Saint-Hubert: Laflèche, Vauquelin
Greenfield Park: Vieux-Greenfield Park
If you prefer a French-speaking dentist, check the provider's profile on hellodent for language details. Many Longueuil providers list French services. The closest clinic is not always the right fit. A provider's experience with your specific treatment can matter more than distance. Use hellodent to search by location and sort by rating or distance.
How to Choose an Oral Surgery Provider in Longueuil
Every dentist in Quebec must be registered with the Ordre des dentistes du Québec (ODQ). You can verify a provider's credentials through the regulator. Look for someone with training that matches the surgery you need.
Many surgical treatments can be performed by general dentists, such as common extractions. More involved cases, like impacted wisdom teeth or jaw correction, may go to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. A few questions can help you compare:
- How often do you perform the treatment I think I need?
- Will you handle the surgery, or refer me to a specialist?
- What sedation options can you offer for my case?
- What does recovery usually look like?
Paying for Oral Surgery in Longueuil
For most Quebec residents, dental care is typically paid out of pocket or through private insurance. The Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) generally does not cover routine dental work, though it may cover surgery done in a hospital setting. If you have a private plan through work, it may cover some or most of certain oral surgery costs, so check your yearly limit.
You may be eligible for coverage under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a dental program funded by the federal government and administered by Sun Life. It is open to residents with a net family income under $90,000 per year who do not have private dental coverage. The CDCP may cover certain oral surgery, such as extractions, abscess drainage, and cyst removal. Major surgical treatments may need to be pre-authorized by Sun Life. Frequency limits may apply. Apply for coverage through the Government of Canada website. Coverage needs to be renewed annually.
Many Longueuil clinics offer payment plans that spread the cost over several months. Ask about interest-free options when you compare providers on hellodent.
