Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

Keep your face and jaw healthy by visiting an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at PacificWest Dental Group!

Oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery is the branch of dentistry that specializes in and includes the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of disorders, diseases, injuries, and defects involving the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial regions and related structures.

What Is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon specializes in oral surgery. These surgeons perform various operations to correct diseases, injuries, and defects of the face, jaw, and mouth through a combination of dentistry and medical surgery. Common procedures include removing wisdom teeth, difficult tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, and more. In addition to dental school, these professionals undergo an additional four to six years of education to become oral and maxillofacial surgeons to give you the best possible care. 

The oral and maxillofacial region includes the mouth and all the pieces connected to it. Surgeons specializing in this field can treat patients having issues with some part of the face, mouth, or jaw. These specialists undergo additional training to treat impacted wisdom teeth and perform dental implant surgery, bone or soft tissue grafting, and other important procedures.
