Why See an Oral Surgeon Instead of My Dentist?

Oral surgeons have more training and experience than general dentists, particularly in mouth and jaw surgery. An oral surgeon can diagnose complicated dental health issues, create a treatment plan, and conduct all aspects of dental surgery efficiently and effectively. Surgery by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon rather than a dentist is typically less invasive with quicker recovery time.

After receiving a four-year dental degree, oral surgeons spend four to six additional years training in medicine, anesthesia, oral surgery, and implant dentistry. This intense, immersive training often results in a medical degree in addition to a dental degree. Among the procedures usually referred to oral surgeons are:
