Oral surgery plays a crucial role in modern dentistry, addressing a wide range of issues from wisdom teeth extraction to the placement of dental implants. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize not only in dental procedures but also in treating facial injuries, and they perform various surgical procedures such as implant placements and bone grafts.

Also known as orthognathic surgery, this procedure corrects jaw misalignment that can cause difficulties with chewing, speaking, and breathing. It often involves repositioning the jaws and/or realigning the teeth to improve function and facial appearance.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often require extraction due to issues like impaction, crowding, or improper alignment. Oral surgeons are skilled in safely removing these teeth to prevent complications and maintain oral health.
Oral surgeons specialize in placing dental implants, which are titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to support artificial teeth (crowns, bridges, dentures). This procedure requires precise planning and skill to ensure the implant integrates successfully with the bone.
Sometimes necessary for dental implants or to repair bone loss due to trauma or disease, bone grafting involves adding bone material to the jawbone to enhance its volume and strength.
Oral surgeons are trained to treat facial injuries such as fractures of the jaw or facial bones caused by accidents, sports injuries, or other trauma. They employ techniques to restore function and aesthetics to the affected area.
Oral surgeons diagnose and treat oral and facial pathologies, including cysts, tumors, and infections. They may perform biopsies and surgical removals as part of treatment.
Some oral surgeons perform cosmetic procedures such as chin or cheek enhancements, or facial contouring surgeries to improve facial symmetry and appearance.
