Oral Surgery

Dental oral surgery, also known as oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), is a specialized field of dentistry concerned with diagnosing and treating conditions of the jaw, mouth, and face.

Oral surgeons complete four years of dental school followed by four to six additional years of residency training, making them highly qualified to perform complex procedures.

Here's a breakdown of what dental oral surgery involves:
Types of procedures:

• Wisdom teeth removal, especially impacted wisdom teeth
• Dental implant placement
• Removal of cysts and tumors in the mouth or jaw
• Orthodontic exposure's simple extraction

BENEFITS

Oral surgery can improve a patient's oral health, function, and appearance. It can also alleviate pain, prevent future complications, and restore confidence.

CONSIDERATIONS:

• Oral surgery procedures often require anesthesia (IV or local) and involve some level of recovery time.
• It's important to choose a qualified oral surgeon with experience in the specific procedure you need.
