Dental Surgery

Dental surgery is a specialty that encompasses methods for treating hard and soft tissue issues, such as problems with teeth, bones, cheeks, and palates, through surgical interventions. It covers the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical procedures for diseases affecting the teeth and surrounding tissues. One of the most fundamental applications of dental surgery is tooth extraction. In addition to extractions, treatments include the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, dental cyst treatment, implant procedures, and the treatment of certain tumors. Dental surgery is typically considered when other treatments fail and surgical intervention becomes necessary. This may be required when teeth are damaged due to oral diseases or trauma. While dental surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, general anesthesia can be used for more complex mouth and jaw problems.
