What is a Dental Surgeon?

A dental surgeon, also known as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, is a dental professional who specializes in performing surgery on the teeth, gums, and other areas around the mouth.

Dental surgeons are trained to perform oral surgeries, including tooth extractions and implant surgeries. They may also fit dental prosthetics like crowns, caps, bridges, veneers, dentures, and implants. 

Dental surgeons also perform surgery on other parts of the head and neck, including repairs from facial trauma.

Think of a dental surgeon as a highly trained dentist who tackles complex oral issues. They go beyond routine checkups, performing intricate procedures like:

• Wisdom tooth removal: Those pesky third molars often need expert extraction to avoid pain and crowding.

• Jaw surgery: Misaligned jaws or facial injuries may require corrective surgery for proper function and aesthetics.

• Dental implants: Missing teeth get a second chance with these biocompatible replacements, surgically inserted by your dental surgeon.

• Tumor removal: Oral tumors, thankfully rare, require specialized surgical expertise for safe and effective treatment.
