What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery covers advanced procedures involving the teeth, gums and jawbone. It includes treatments such as the surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth, extraction of teeth that have broken below the gum line, management of infections that have spread into the bone, and preparation for future restorative work like dental implants or orthodontics.
Unlike routine dental procedures, oral surgery often deals with issues that cannot be resolved with simple fillings or cleaning. It reaches the structural foundations of the mouth, ensuring that ongoing pain, infection or instability is fully addressed.
