Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry involving procedures performed on the teeth, jaws, and surrounding facial structures. Maxillofacial and oral surgeons typically carry out these procedures. They have extensive training beyond general dentistry, often including medical degrees and hospital-based surgical residencies.
Common procedures include:
- Tooth extractions (particularly impacted wisdom teeth)
- Dental implant placement
- Bone grafting
- Corrective jaw surgery for overbites or underbites
- Treatment of facial injuries and fractures
- Removal of oral lesions or tumors
- Reconstructive surgery for cleft lips and palates.
