Oral surgery involves a variety of procedures designed to address dental and facial issues requiring surgical intervention. From routine extractions to intricate corrective treatments, oral surgery plays a critical role in maintaining and restoring oral health.

With advancements in techniques and technology, these procedures are now safer and more effective, ensuring patients receive high-quality care with minimal discomfort. Skilled oral surgeons offer personalized treatment plans to meet individual needs and deliver optimal outcomes.

Common Oral Surgery Procedures

Tooth Extractions
While general dentists perform many extractions, complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth or severely decayed teeth, often require the expertise of an oral surgeon.

Dental Implants
Oral surgeons specialize in placing dental implants, which serve as artificial roots to support crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Bone Grafting
When bone loss occurs due to trauma, gum disease, or tooth loss, a bone graft may be necessary to rebuild the jawbone and provide a stable foundation for dental implants or other restorations.

Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
This corrective surgery addresses issues like misaligned jaws, TMJ disorders, and facial asymmetry, improving both function and appearance.

Cyst and Tumor Removal
Oral surgeons remove benign cysts or tumors from the mouth, gums, or jaw, often in conjunction with biopsies to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment for Sleep Apnea
Surgical options, such as repositioning the jaw or removing excess soft tissue, can alleviate sleep apnea symptoms and improve breathing during sleep.

Facial Trauma Surgery
Oral surgeons repair fractures or injuries to the jaw, cheekbones, or teeth, restoring functionality and aesthetics after accidents or trauma.

Frenectomy
This minor procedure involves correcting tongue-tie or lip-tie conditions by releasing the frenulum, improving oral function and speech in children and adults.
