Oral Surgery Clinic
An oral surgeon is someone who treats dental and medical problems involving the oral cavity. Treatment often involves performing surgery and related procedures to treat diseases, defects, or injuries, and to improve function or appearance. There are several dental and medical conditions that may require surgery, such as:
- removal of impacted, damaged, and non-restorable teeth
- reconstructive surgery after removing tumours from the face, neck, jaw, or mouth
- temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
- infections of the oral cavity, salivary glands, jaws, and neck
- oral mucosa, such as mouth ulcers
- jaw surgery to realign the jaws (orthognathic surgery)
- dental implants, and the regeneration of deficient bone and gum tissues
- structural abnormalities involving the mouth, neck or face
- congenital defects (cleft lip and palate and jaw growth problems)
- oral cancer (removal of tissue or tumours for biopsy)
- facial injuries including facial lacerations, intra-oral lacerations, and fractured facial bones
- cosmetic dental procedures (such as chin and cheekbone enhancements)
