An oral surgeon (also called an oral and maxillofacial surgeon) is a dental specialist who has completed advanced postgraduate training in surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaws, and face. This training goes beyond general dentistry and includes:
- Complex tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal
- Dental implant surgery and bone grafting
- Management of impacted teeth
- Oral pathology and tissue biopsies
