Oral and Maxillofacial surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on defects and diseases affecting the aesthetic and functional soft (skin and muscle) and hard (bone) tissues in the facial region. Common procedures include the extraction of teeth, removal of impacted wisdom teeth, correction of facial fractures and lacerations, dental implants, bone grafting of both jaws (including sinus augmentation), biopsies of the head and neck, and apicoectomies (microscopic surgical treatment of root canal complications).
Surgeons trained in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery have specialized knowledge and advanced training in general anesthesia and intravenous sedation, giving their patients the highest possible comfort in a safe, qualified setting.
