Some of the specialty areas our Oral Surgeon covers are:

Extractions and Wisdom Teeth
If you are in need of a difficult tooth extraction, an oral surgeon is often recommended. Wisdom teeth, often called third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes these teeth emerge from the gum line and the jaw allows room for them, but often, this is not the case. Sometimes one or more of these third molars fails to fully emerge through the gum line and becomes "impacted" between the jawbone and the gum tissue. Impacted wisdom teeth can become quite painful if not surgically removed.

Tooth Loss Corrected With Dental Implants
In conjunction with our Prosthodontist specialist, our Oral Surgeon can provide dental implants. An implant is an option for tooth loss due to an accident or infection or as an alternative to dentures. Implants are tooth root substitutes that are surgically anchored in place in the jawbone and act to stabilize the artificial teeth to which they are attached.
