What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that involves the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and management of a wide range of diseases, injuries, and defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. This includes not just the teeth, but also the gums, jaw, neck, and face. Oral surgeons, or maxillofacial surgeons, are dentists who have completed additional years of training in surgery.
Common Types of Oral Surgery
- Tooth Extractions. One of the most common oral surgeries, this includes the removal of impacted wisdom teeth or teeth that are too damaged or decayed to be repaired.
- Dental Implants. This involves the placement of a metal post in the jawbone to replace missing tooth, which is then capped with an artificial tooth (crown).
- Bone Grafting. This is often performed to repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries.
- Corrective jaw surgery can resolve a range of skeletal and dental irregularities, including the misalignment of jaws and teeth, which can improve chewing, speaking, and breathing.
