What Is Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and surgically treating conditions affecting the:
- Teeth
- Gums
- Jawbones
- Facial bones
- Soft tissues
- Temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
These procedures help restore oral function, eliminate infection, reduce pain, and improve both oral health and facial aesthetics.
Many surgeries can be done comfortably with local anesthesia, sedation, or both, based on your needs.
Conditions Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Can Treat
Our surgical services help patients experiencing:
Impacted Teeth
Teeth that cannot properly erupt may become painful, infected, or damage neighboring teeth.
Severely Damaged Teeth
When a tooth cannot be restored with a crown or filling, surgical extraction may be recommended.
Jawbone Loss
Bone deterioration caused by missing teeth or periodontal disease can often be corrected with bone grafting procedures.
Facial Trauma
Injuries involving the mouth or jaw require prompt surgical treatment to restore function and appearance.
Oral Pathology
Abnormal tissue changes, cysts, or suspicious lesions should be evaluated and treated as early as possible.
Dental Implant Preparation
Successful dental implant placement often requires sufficient healthy bone and soft tissue support.
Benefits of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Modern oral surgery offers numerous benefits beyond simply treating immediate problems.
Benefits include:
- Relief from chronic pain
- Elimination of infection
- Restoration of normal chewing function
- Improved oral health
- Better facial support
- Preservation of surrounding teeth
- Preparation for dental implants
- Improved long-term quality of life
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Services We Offer
Surgical Tooth Extractions
Some teeth require surgical removal because they are broken below the gumline, impacted, or difficult to access.
We carefully plan our surgical extraction procedures with advanced imaging to minimize discomfort and promote efficient healing.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are often impacted or emerge at improper angles, leading to pain, infection, crowding, or damage to surrounding teeth.
Removing wisdom teeth before complications develop can help preserve your long-term oral health.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds areas of jawbone loss caused by tooth loss, trauma, or periodontal disease. A dentist may recommend bone regeneration before placing dental implants or to maintain facial structure.
Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implants provide one of the most reliable long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth.
The surgical placement of implants creates a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures while helping preserve jawbone health.
Oral Biopsies
Persistent sores, lumps, or unusual tissue changes should never be ignored.
An oral biopsy allows suspicious tissue to be evaluated so appropriate treatment can begin as early as possible.
Surgical Management of Oral Infections
Severe infections sometimes require surgical drainage or removal of infected tissue to prevent further spread.
Prompt treatment protects your overall health and reduces the risk of complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need oral and maxillofacial surgery?
You may need oral surgery if you have an impacted tooth, a badly damaged tooth, jawbone loss, a mouth or jaw injury, an oral infection, or need dental implants. A comprehensive examination can determine the best treatment option.
Is oral surgery painful?
Modern anesthesia and sedation techniques help make oral surgery much more comfortable than many patients expect. Mild soreness afterward is normal and can usually be managed with medication and proper aftercare.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Many patients return to normal activities within a few days after simple procedures, while more complex surgeries may require several weeks of healing.
Can I drive home after oral surgery?
If you receive sedation beyond local anesthesia, you’ll typically need someone to drive you home following your procedure.
Is oral surgery covered by insurance?
Many oral surgery procedures are partially covered by dental insurance when considered medically necessary. Our team can review your benefits and explain your estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
