What is an Oral Surgeon?
An oral surgeon is a dental professional specializing in surgery of the face, jaw, and oral cavity. They are experts in diagnosing and treating medical and dental conditions of the face, teeth, and mouth. Your doctor or dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon if you need specific care.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have four to six years of additional training beyond dental school, including a hospital residency program. This includes training focusing on general surgery, internal medicine, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and anesthesiology.

Why Choose an Oral Surgeon Instead of a Dentist?
Oral surgeons improve their patients’ health, appearance, and quality of life. They ensure teeth, gums, and jaw work harmoniously for full function and oral health without sacrificing an aesthetic smile. The years of additional training oral surgeons undergo give them exceptional skills and experience in all oral and facial surgery areas.
You should see your dentist for all routine dental care, including dental cleanings, checkups, and preventive treatments. Dentists fill cavities, take x-rays to chart your oral health, and may provide crowns, dentures, or bridges.
Oral surgeons are specialists in performing oral surgery, which is all they do. This includes wisdom tooth extractions, biopsies, tumor removal, jaw realignment, placing dental implants, and reconstructive surgery.
If you need surgical removal of your wisdom teeth or placement of dental implants, an oral surgeon is your best choice. While some dentists occasionally remove wisdom teeth or place implants, they do not do these procedures frequently and are not familiar with the latest techniques and technologies. Oral surgeons perform these procedures regularly and are adept at handling any potential complications. As a result, surgeries take less time and are less invasive. Patients recover more quickly when an oral surgeon has performed their surgery.
