Oral Surgery
About the Treatment
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is performed in or around your mouth and jaw, most often by a dental specialist trained to carry out specific types of oral surgical procedures.
For tooth and jaw procedures that go beyond the ability of a general dentist, you may require oral surgery. In those cases, you will be referred to the right specialist for your needs.
Common Scenarios
When You May Need Oral Surgery
Beyond General Dentistry
For tooth and jaw procedures that go beyond the skill of a general dentist, you may require oral surgery and a referral to a qualified oral surgeon.
Wisdom Teeth
If your wisdom teeth are impacted, removing them may require you to see an oral surgeon. This is one of the most common reasons patients are referred for oral surgery.
Gum Disease
If you suffer from gum disease and need a gum graft, you would be referred to a periodontist who performs those types of oral surgeries.
