What is An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the specialty providing surgical care for the mouth, jaws, and face.  It is unusual in that it is a hybrid specialty combining the professional education of both dentists and medical doctors.  The path to becoming an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or simply  ‘oral surgeon,’ begins with graduating from dental school. The dentist then attends a four to six year surgical residency in a hospital, learning general surgical techniques alongside other physicians.

While many routine oral issues can be treated by a dentist, there are some that require specialized surgical care. Some of the procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons include:

• Wisdom Teeth Removal
• Dental Implants
• Corrective Surgery for Facial Deformities
• Repair of Facial Trauma
• Oral Pathology
• BOTOX
• Genioplasty

Furthermore, oral and maxillofacial surgeons are extensively trained in the use of sedation and anesthesia, more so than any other doctors except anesthesiologists. This means that they are able to perform surgeries, such as the removal of wisdom teeth,  on an outpatient basis in their office, without the need for an additional anesthesiologist on staff.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons combine surgical expertise with their knowledge of dentistry to provide comprehensive care for the structures of the jaw and face.

Dental Implants Akron, Stow, Norton OH

Dental implant surgery is, of course, surgery, and is best done by a trained surgeon. Your oral and maxillofacial surgeon has the specialized education and training in the complexities of the bone, skin, muscles and nerves involved, to ensure you get the best possible results.  A 2014 study suggests greater implant success rates when performed by a dental specialist.

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

Dental implants are changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

“Pain free” does not mean “disease free”

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.
