Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at diagnosing, treating, and managing complex conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and related structures. This field includes various procedures such as tooth extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth removal, dental implants placement, and corrective jaw surgery to address misalignments or deformities. Oral surgery may also involve the treatment of oral cysts, tumors, and reconstructive procedures following trauma or injury.

These surgeries are typically performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons who have specialized training in both dental and surgical techniques. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, patients may receive local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure comfort and minimize pain.
