Ripa, 55, was at home recovering from the procedure, her husband, Mark Consuelos, explained as he welcomed guest co-host Kevin Jonas to the studio.
He went on to say that Ripa had been advised to undergo the surgery by her dentist several years ago. However, she finally decided to buckle down and have it done.
While Ripa is “doing well” and “doing great,” she's not allowed to speak while she recovers.
Consuelos also noted that Ripa is experiencing significant pain as she navigates the recovery process.
A representative for the hit ABC chat show told PEOPLE Ripa will be absent from Live for a week. Guest hosts will fill in as she stays home to recover.
