Oral Surgery Specialist

What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery is a branch of dental specialty dedicated to oral health problems and improving the look of your smile. Whereas general dentistry aims to make your mouth as healthy as possible, oral surgery goal is dedicated to treating problems.

With oral surgery, you can change the size, shape, color, and alignment of your teeth to give yourself the smile you’ve always dreamed of having.

Why should I consider oral surgery procedures?

Your smile is much more than a functional tool for eating and speaking – it’s also a reflection of your personality and your personal calling card for interacting with the world.

Cosmetic imperfections in your teeth, like cracks, discoloration, or misshapen teeth, can have you feeling self-conscious, affecting your confidence and self-esteem and oral health.

How can an extraction improve my smile?

Although it’s always preferable to retain as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, there are some instances where a tooth can be more trouble than it’s worth. 

Whether it’s because of severe damage or decay, your provider can extract your tooth to improve your smile and overall oral health. 

For example, a severely decayed tooth actually poses a threat to the rest of your natural teeth, since its infection can spread to other areas of your smile. Extracting an infected tooth can protect the rest of your natural teeth from also getting compromised. 

Furthermore, if you have crowding issues with your teeth, an extraction can improve your smile by creating more room in your mouth for your other teeth to straighten out.
